Holiday 2015

We are planning a holiday of a life time to the Okavanga delta in Botswana during May. A friend's brother is the manager of one of the private game reserves and we are lucky enough to have been given a great deal. Negotiations are in the early stages and I truly hope it comes off. I love the Bush.

Already booked to go away in May and then planning to visit family in Australia for Mum's 90th.

Why go abroad during our summer? We prefer to get away in February and are going to The Gambia next year. We have been to South Goa about ten times. It's lovely there during our winter. Thailand and Sri Lanka are also favourites with me.

Going away in late February. Flying to TOKYO to join cruise back to Southampton. Booked it 18 months ago and it's slowly getting nearer.

We're going to Burgh Island in April for our ruby wedding. We will go away later in the year too but haven't decided where.

Barcelona for us in February then Yorkshire Dales in May - something later on perhaps but would like to go away at Christmas next year.

I have said this before and will keep on saying it,if you can, go as often as finance allows The time will come , as it has for us when holidays are not on the agenda so make the most of every opportunity. To change a well known saying, no-one at the end of their life says I wish I hadn't holidayed so much.

Spot on ann60

Med on QE in September, xmas on queen Victoris in the canaries. ( the disabled cabins on the QE were already booked up)

Haven't 'booked' a holiday for years. We just get up and go if we are in the mood for a break somewhere.

We have had our fill of long haul flights and now either drive or fly within Europe. DD2 would like us to visit her in Australia but the thought of so many hours cramped in a plane, which some friends do every year, is just something I wouldn't want to do now.

Because I need a disabled room I have to book ahead! Both these cruises are southampton to southampton.

Birding, wildlife and whale watching on a boat in the Gulf of California (Baja). Another holiday of a lifetime! GKnot - We went to the Okavanga two years ago as part of a wildlife trip with Saga. Only there for three nights. So wish it could have been longer, it was wonderful!

In that case, it makes sense to book and in certain circumstances it is necessary to book ahead. I know how much you enjoy your cruising Galen

Sydney in February and again hopefully in December when I am going to investigate travelling by sea. Would like to do the Ghan from Adelaide to Darwin too at some point....... well, as they say in these parts, 'there are no pockets in a shroud', so I may as well SKI

I've got my 60th booked. River cruise to Venice then on to Florence and Rome.

KazuluNatal in the spring to look at our last (Rotary) volunteer educational project, and a luxurious trip to Australia, returning via Singapore in the Autumn, to celebrate our golden wedding, and also because, with all the operations I have had this year, holidays have been on hold.

One more op to go...

March/April to California to DS1 & family with a few nights in Washington DC on the way back then a rail tour of Scotland in May.

Morecambe, with my doggie, probably without my son, anytime as I have a friend with apartments. Lovely. A little bit of independence for both me and my son.

We are having a weekend away in February and a river cruise in April but have nothing planned for later in the year. We also dislike long haul flights (or flying at all really)

I have the same attitude as annsixty and Marmight and try and do as much as possible while I can. I am already booked for Beijing to see DD and DGS's in February and am planning a trip to Australia for next back-end. In between there will likely be a visit to Spain to see DS and DGS's and one or two short breaks in the UK. Skiing is no longer possible (worse luck) but SKI certainly is !

Same attitude here tiggypiro I can imagine nothing worse than reaching an age when you cannot travel to these places and say "if only I did it earlier" in my life.
We have just booked mainland Spain for May for OHs birthday and for Iceland later in the year a place we have wanted to visit for a long time so we have a nice year ahead.

Bruges in the Spring, just waiting on dates before booking, then a trip to Jersey at some point.

Yorkshire and Devon already booked for the summer and will see what else crops up nearer the time.

Sicily again in April- the South Coast this time. And a week at a spa resort in the Swiss Alps first week of July (a timeshare exchange week- just a couple of hours drive and we can take the doggies there.

glammanana I did do it earlier in my life. Backpacked, travelled and worked in other countries as did DH before we met.

I do agree though, for anyone who has the opportunity to travel it's a wonderful experience.
