Wow, that will be fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would love to go there myself!

Im booked to go to Vancouver to see our Deb in July, cant wait! xx

Thinking of going from Perth to Sydney on the Indian pacific train, spend some time there then fly to Melbourne have a look around then to Bendigo to see friends we have not seen for 20 or more years As any one been on the Indian pacific train it takes 3 days, and when would be the best time to take the trip we were thinking oct. In march spending 5 days at a beach house down south with my niece and family who are coming out from the UK, cheers Annabel ps retirement is great

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!

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.

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

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...

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

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.

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

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.

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,,,,,,,,,,

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
