Yes! it's certainly great to be retired.We go off on adventures(also in UK) at the drop of a hat, still gotta lotta living to do!! Mau xxx

we cant make up our minds, a week on the isle of sicily or a cruise up the nile, any one been to either, can you give us some tips???do you need jabs for eygpt??? iris xx

I think it will be a few trips to our caravan on the Isle of Wight this year. We've just had a fantastic holiday to Australia and Singapore to celebrate our 40th anniversary so have to start saving the pennies again. I'd really like to go to Canada, Vancouver area, as I've a 3 x cousin lives that way and just found another family connection lived there back in 1910/11. Then again, I've family in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Texas so just need to win the lottery LOL Daphne

anywhere would be nice if i could take my own bed,,,,,,,,,,,as the thought of sleeping in beds that have been used by all and sundry makes my skin crawl,,,,,and would never sleep,,,,,,,,,,

Coming to see you!.......Oooops - did I forget to mention that? LOL 4 weeks in NZ and 2 weeks in Australia - leaving in less than 4 weeks time. Eeeeek! Got the collywobbles now! LOL Mags xx

really looking forward to it, booked last oct and it seemed like ages ago but now time seems to be going fast. we went to Florida for the first time last year--had a great time. K

Hi Tina mate.....where you moving to?

Hi Sal, Nothing exciting for me this year as we will be moving...a weekend in Lincoln seems to be my holiday this year LOL. Where are you going? Tina x

Karen, we went to Dubai for our 15th last year! Absolutely fantastic. We have bought a villa in Florida which will be ready shortly so going there for 2 weeks, so excited as it's been on the go for 3 years now. Dawn Ps Available to rent! have a website orangegrovesvilla * com!

me and hubby are going to Dubai in oct for our 15th anniversary. not sure where to go in the summer with the girls but may go to Sardinia for 4/5days to see sister in law whilst shes on her hols over there in august, Karen

Hi Sal it's in North Wales a tiny villiage called Gwytherin-it's lovely has 1 pub and that's it surrounded by hills- near Betswy-Coed. catherine xx yeah we spent tons on holidays over the years, just had a new wall built, most of the new fencing in now want to get a nice seating area in garden sorted so I can sit out on summer nights with OH and a bottle of vino.

Sounds idylic Catherine, but you must get that chair to drink on in real fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whereabouts in Wales Catherine? I married a Welshman! So lived there for 15 years..... You have to alternate don't you - spend time on other things some years and then holidays another if possible, we have decided to concentrate in what we have here in Australia for a while as it is so vast.....other stuff can wait until little Joe is older.

Mexico is fab irish girl- I been twice. Nothing exciting for me this year-got to spend some cash on the house, had too many exotic hols, looks like we will be going to the family cottage in wales, but I don't mind it's a haven. catherine xx

Mexico ............. and Scotland............both sound great.....I used to go to Scotland in a campervan as a child and loved every minute of it.......don't blame you for not flying Lol, there is plenty of time hey...

nothing booked as of yet - but scotland looks likely again - kids are already asking when we are going back would love to have a proper holiday - a beach somewhere would be nice - but it might have to wait another year or two until the kids are a bit older dont fancy flying with little ones just yet - not that brave lol

have booked to go to Mexico in August and can't wait, haven't has a holiday for 5 yrs now. The only thing i'm not looking forward to is the 10 hour flight.

My Mum comes to us on The Ghan or Pacific (Gold class lol) all the time and loves every minute of it..... One day I will - would have liked to have gone to Uluru and up to Darwin by train as the journey and sights are apparently wonderful. Driven to Adelaide from Sydney and the colours are just lovely..... Have a wonderful time!
