I am amazed at the amount of people whose idea of a 'holiday' is 10 days kicking the out of the alcohol in Magalluf, then feeling like for the next 2 weeks.

I would like to see the Canadian Rockies.

The best way for me to do this is to wait until work send me to Calgary then tag some leave on to the trip. That way I don't have to pay for flights.

I have another short break pencilled in for The Algarve in June (invaluable to have someone with property there who has to go once a year to sort some insurances and other stuff out

) and the best news is that the females don't get to go either.

Have a biking weekend planned in Settle for July.

And, erm, 30 more days to book and no money - in the days when I had money for world travel I never took time off to do it (went for six years once without any days off), now I have the time but no money - welcome to my badly organised world

Going to Australia for a few weeks, including a trip to Brisbane to watch Origin game 2. Cant wait.

Driving down to the south of France for the Catalan - Hull game in June probably just for the week . Anyone stayed in any camp sites down there Canet , Narbonne ?.

Stayed here and used it as base camp when i go to Snowdon.

cheers mate, maybe another time.

Catalan
Mexico in August
New York in November

Taking my son to Disneyworld for 2 weeks beginning of August.

Going to Prague at the end of the month for 4 nights

Going to Thailand at the start of the October and thinking of nipping across the border to go see Angkor Wat in Cambodia again

eeeh Lawrence, I remember the days when you thought getting on the supporters bus to go to Castleford was an adventure.

Still is isn't it ?

Back in time? Yes, yes it is

We shall once again be going to South Devon in September. It's great because we're now on "family rates" and last year's 2-week stay cost us all of £200 for Emma, me, the dog and the parrot in a two-bedroomed annexe with all mod-cons, including new-laid, free-range eggs every day.

Sydney for three weeks in August to see our eldest daughter who emigrated there last week. Going to take in some games whilst there.

There are several sites around Weymouth that are pretty good we have used Haven in the past and if tou look through the horror stories they are pretty good, we've not hand any disasters, avoid Rockley Park Poole though as it is in the middle of nowhere and next to an RAF base..

Make sure you visit Dorchester market, a real old fashioned market with lots of good food, household stuff and clothes.

Monkey World isn't far away and it's a decent day out, even better value if you use Tesco vouchers.

We're off to Cornwall again this year, either Perranporth or St Ives.

If you can include the weekend of 13/14 July, the [url=http://www.dorsetseafood.co.uk/Dorset Seafood Festival[/url in Weymouth is not to be missed

I love Weymouth, i walked from the front to Portland and all the way around Portland, i have some cracking pictures, took all day, would recommend that walk to anyone, especially walking around Portland.

The "Islanders" are a strange breed, that's for sure, for many it's a "family" thing.

Portland pheasant:

Me and my mate are planning a week of booze and (hopefully) birds in Benidorm in July.

Can anyone recommend some tips for saving cash when booking as a single parent? Took my lad to Haven near Pwhelli last summer and we both really enjoyed it, albeit with bobbins weather, but he's now at school and obviously the price has rocketed for the same sort of stuff. Had a look at going abroad but can't seem to find owt for less than £800 for 7 nights as everywhere wants me to pay adult price for the lad.

And, no, "get a bird" isn't a satisfactory answer to my initial question.

How are you fixed for transport ?

If you have your own car and there's just the two of you then how about trawling the likes of Travel Lodge / Premier/ Holiday Inn Express - register with Travel Lodge and they'll email you when they post special offers to their web site, my brother took his wife and two lads on a tour of the north east and scotland using £19 per room (family room sleeping four) offers the year before last - you'll won't necessarily be in seaside towns or even in the centre of towns but with transport and a bit of planning you can make of it what you will.

Me and a mate are thinking of going to Iraqi Kurdistan for a week in June but no there are no flights direct from the UK. The cheapest airline is Austrian Airways and that involves flying to Vienna and getting a connecting flight. We have two flight options, one takes about 7 hours including an hour stop in Vienna, the other takes about 17 hours including an 11 hour stop in Vienna. Obviously we don't really want to hang around Vienna airport for 11 hours but is an hour enough time to guarantee that we catch our connecting flight?

Also would you rather stay at quite a nice hotel that's a half an hour walk from the city centre (remembering that it gets up to 40°C in June) or would it be better to stay at a not so nice hotel that's bang in the city centre?

Yeah I can drive so that's not really a problem. Only problem with using the basic hotels is that he quite enjoyed the evening entertainment etc of the holiday camps. I quite often use Travelodge's, but that's generally going to football and/or being on the lash so not entirely suitable in this scenario

Just returned from New Zealand's South Island and would recommend it to everyone, a truly beautiful part of the world.

Hunter valley at the Weekend, Tasmaina 2 weeks after that, whitsundays 2 weeks after that, Margaret river, Brisbane for origin 2, Perth and Cairns when souths play there and back to Europe at the end of the year, hopefully World Cup time.

Sun holidays start again soon, last time we used them there was plenty of placed during the early weeks of the school holidays.
