[Travel] Holiday 2018

[Herr Tubthumper]

Nothing. Not easy to get away from home for more than a day until I get a kidney transplant - as I need regular dialysis. Even when I get a transplant they recommend no travel for a year or so. It is possible to get dialysis in some places, but I am comfortable with my machine at home, doing it all myself.

Good luck with a transplant. I wish you well.

 

[French Seagull]

Well we moved to France last summer and have some Gites if anyone is interested, take a look www.domainedefrance.com

If our place settles down and they have stopped outsourcing and sacking people, I am hoping to swing a trip to Costa rIca for " business " obviously.

������

I wish I had made it to costa rica, spent 3 months ib Mexico (Yucatan peninsala) Guatamala, Honduras, Belize and could squeze in getting anymore - in fact Honduras wastnt even iin my plans, i just had the nearest islands to Guatemala so fancied some chil out/diving. Spent 5 weeks there and ate drank and swam. I love to know whta its like now, it was already quite pretentitious in some ways. IIRC correctly if you surfed you chipped in to get a camper van to share to Coasta Rica, and if you dived, head to Honduras/Belize

Chicago is one of the best places I’ve visited in a long time. It took me totally by surprise how wonderful it is and steeped in fascinating history and culture....and it’s a must visit city for craft beer heads.

As you work on the railways I’d thorougly recommend a walking tour of the overhead railway system. Incredibly interesting from both historical and architectural angles. https://www.architecture.org/experience-caf/tours/detail/elevated-architecture-downtown-l-train/

Agree with that.

We did The El walking tour when we were there, excellent.

 

[Renegade]

Plenty of destinations here but why is no-one owning up to Benidorm,Magaluf, Playas de las Americas etc? Are we at NSC too posh?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Good luck with a transplant. I wish you well.

Thank you kindly. Lucky dip, I'm afraid, I'm on the waiting list, so, unfortunately, somebody has to kick the bucket before I get their spares.

 

[Birdie Boy]

Erm is that ALL of them in July or options?

All in July over 3 weeks. 1 night in FL, 1 night in Miami, 7 night cruise then Vegas.

Edit. 50th birthday treat/trip.

[The Clamp]

Not sure where abroad will be thi syear but certainly a healthy amount of walking trips in the UK. I'd dearly love to get to the Lakes again this year. Nancledra in Cornwall is a given and a few good two or three dayer walks through Sussex and Surrey

 

[PWA]

July - La Manga Pre-Season.

November - NYC Marathon

The Costa Del Bromsgrove this weekend (WBA)

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Nowhere - spent Xmas in Florida & thats us done for the time being. May go down to Somerset to see family for a couple of days, but with the eldest son going off on a few school / sea cadet trips (a week skiing in Austria, sailing the Solent on HMS Royalist etc) this year, we're spending all the spare money on him instead of us!

 

[The Spanish]

And we have the winner!

its where are you going on holiday this year though isnt it, not where you went in 1976.

Been there too!! I love Mexico as well!! Lived there for about year and also had Mexican fiancee at one point(long story!!)

Tbh I didnt like Vallarta too much as its a very rough bit of coastline so couldnt swim in sea much, I was traveling on budget at time so was in hostel without pool!! Great for whale watching though if u can get that done!

Puerto Escondido was my next stop after there if remember right and its fking amazing!! The whole of Oaxaca is actually lovely and thats where I met the current Mexican chica!!

Just booked a 10 day trip back to the UK in June. Hoping to squeeze in a few days in Europe in between a friend's 40th at the start of the trip and a family party at the end. I'm thinking Scandinavia, as I haven't been and it's high up my bucket list.
