Have you booked your summer holiday yet?

[DIFFBROOK]

Its my 50th year, so I have arranged a 3 week road trip to South West USA. Starting in Manitou Springs (Colorado), then onto Durango Colorado (South Rockies), then onto Monument valley, then Las Vegas (gamble, hoover dam, Grand canyon, Death Valley etc), then onto Santa Monica, then onto Sedona (Arizona) for another part of Grand Canyon, then finally Tombstone and Tucson (Doc Holiday land).

Have decided on 2 months trekking in the Nepalese Himalayas in November and December. So this Summer will get in a couple of England's long distance walks as training. Hadrians Wall, half the Penine Way and the Cotswold Way are the candidates.
Also plan a week or so in our camper in mid Wales.

Sounds like a great trip, similar to my last holiday.
The U.S keeps drawing me back, so much to see over there!

Other sights I realllllllyyyyyy want to see around that area:

Zion NP (UT)
Arches NP (UT)
Big Bend NP (TX)
White Sands National Monument (NM)

St Lucia in June with the Mrs, hoping to do something else with the kids/kids girlfriend etc in September before they go to Uni, probably all inclusive

Make sure your rooms have air con...it's damn hot and humid that time of the year

I went to see them 2 years ago. They had the Government Shutdown and all National Parks were closed. Still had a great trip in State Parks and stuff but need to go back for those you quoted. 2017 I reckon.

I have not had a holiday in three years. My last 'break' was a long weekend in Bournemouth.

This year will be different.

There's just so much to see over there, and what I've quoted is still just a tiny part of the US!
Was considering a Mexico break this year but thinking a Mid-West adventure might be more exciting.
Going to check with Tornado-Season starts, that'd be fun!

 

[Bold Seagull]

The question is, is anyone booking a summer holiday starting from the 27th May!!??

 

[maltaseagull]

Not going anywhere this summer but booking South Africa for 3 weeks in December (their summer). Bit of a wait but hopefully be worth it.

But you'll miss some of our premier league matches..................................

I gave the option to my 2 teenage sons of either a beach holiday in Valencia or Croatia or go for a mini-adventure and they chose the latter.

So I'm planning on us flying to Prague and exploring around there for a few days then a train to Krakow in Poland for a bit, taking in Auschwitz and then another train up to Warsaw and explore Northern Poland.

There's something about long train journeys in foreign countries that I just love. My favourite way to travel.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I'm off here for the 3rd year running....Very peaceful

Whilst your up there, I've seen on the telly that there's some old guy up there spying on kids in Whitehawk or something. If you see him, have a word?

Was only talking about this recently, some long classic european train journeys. Think mine are a little too young to really enjoy it yet, but that sounds like a great trip.

I'm with you there with train travel Buzzer. I've travelled up and down Italy on trains and I always feel so relaxed. Unlike Saturday when I fly to Prague for a few days and will take enough Valium to stop a bull elephant in its tracks. I hate flying .
If I had more time on city breaks It would be trains all the way.
Ps........ Remind the boys that there are no decent rides at Aushwitz.

Going to zante (kalamaki) in August.

The West Highland Way is a lovely walk Knocky. Stretches from Milngavie to Fort William, and takes in some stunning scenery. You could always finish it off with a stomp up Ben Nevis. Done the walk 3 times camping on route.
