It's not exotic or exciting but we enjoyed our visit two years ago and, despite various more exotic holidays, we found we'd enjoyed it most. Just booked for next year.
Anyone quite happy to be seen as boring?

We have been to many places in Italy, but a few years ago we decided to have a relaxing seaside holiday. We found Lido di Jesolo and have returned there every year since. We go to the same hotel where we enjoy delicious food, and can fly direct from our local airport. These things are important as we get older, and the cost of holidays rises.

I’ve never been to Jersey but would like to visit Guernsey as our family surname is from there. I would like to see if it’s quite common over there . It’s not common here, if you say you know someone of the same surname they are probably related to us 😂.

Why not check out social media? Or, you could try Google? There are special GSY surnames which are peculiar to the GSY population and they go back hundreds of years. You could also contact the Guernsey Museum at Candie Gardens.
