So (in the words of hairdressers everywhere) where's everyone going on their holidays this year?
I'm flying to Pisa in a few weeks then 3 days in Rome, 3 days in Montepulciano (sorry if my spelling's rubbish) and a day in Pisa. Then in June I've got 7 days in Trieste to facilitate day trips to Venice and Slovenia etc. All done on the cheap and cheerful, penny flights from Brum and a rucksack with fresh pants, a toothbrush and a handful of Gordon's miniatures in case of emergency.

Well no skiing this year for me Going to Salou with the family staying in a wood hut thing!!! Going to take kids to Neucamp (footy mad) and see the sights round there anyone know of owt good to see please speak up as trying to keep the kids interested is a nightmare!! The eldest is going to play footy in America in 9 days lake michigan!! Up the owls!!

Barcelona's got endless cool stuff to do. Again, I'd recommend the open top bus tour which you can hop on a get off as you please and you get some money off a boat trip round the port. I did a bit of a Gaudi tour and obviously you HAVE to see Park Guell and the Sagrada Familia.
There's a wierd sex museum too (bit o' blue fer the Dads) and loads of Picasso stuff, galleries and museums. If you're there at the weekend, the Ramblas is the place to have a great wander and mooch, but I found the caged birds a bit disturbing and the living statue blokes a tad annoying. The Placa Real's a lovely spot for a bite to eat and the beach is cracking!
It's got a bit of everything Jez. You can't fail in Barcelona.

just booked flights to Ibiza for 2 weeks. We're stopping in a villa with a loada peeps for my g'friends mates wedding! Should be good!

Also planning a trip to Northern Ireland and our yearly visit to Keswick beer festival! Whoo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Northern Ireland eh? Then do pay attention to my piece on the Belfest music scene which can be found at www.luvmuzik.com.
Shameless plugger? Moi?

possibly a month living in a cave in spain .. get there by bus, train or carpet.

I already went on a small holiday this year. Seeing Dodgy play in London! We just went to London for the weekend. I don't think there'll be another holiday this year for me... Got to work for my debt now... hehe...

I'm going back to Italy in *does quick reckoning on fingers* 4 weeks and 5 days. This time it's a week in Trieste.

Lucky you!!

Had 5 days in Budapest in May - would highly recommend - and we had a heatwave too, so great weather to be supping a beer on the Danube.

Lanzarote for 14 nights in July - first beach holiday for a while after countless city breaks during the last 18 months (inc. Amsterdam, Sofia, Skopje, Prague, Munich, Belfast, Edinburgh, Belgrade, Madrid, Lisbon, Budapest, Toronto/Niagara Falls).

I just had my few days in Trieste and a day in Piran, Slovenia, which is HIGHLY recommended. Really beautiful.

I'm in Canada right now. Have been since March - which meant I missed getting to see Dodgy live by a week!!

Poo. You planning on coming back in near future?
