Im going away with the Mrs and our two girls and leaving my 17 year old son at home.

I had to cancel my holiday to spain when i went into hospital and i am still fighting with the insurance company for some of my money back.

Well i'm going to stay in a static caravan in Prestatyn in Wales (yeah i know some of you think i live in a trailer park anyway ) This is a really cheap and chearful weekend break.

when i was younger and living on the bread line we used to do this sort of holiday all the time but now i am used to a better class of holiday.
I was just wondering where you guys go on Vacation and what your best Vacation ever was.

have fun.


best vacation, between my Bachelors and Maters degrees I went for 6 months in Greece, it was a lot of fun and an experience of a lifetime, though I did get a job or two for spending cash.

Where in Greece?
i have been to Sidari in Corfu and hated it but many have said other parts of Greece are brilliant.

Never been to Sidari or Corfu (never even heard of Sidari) That time I spent most of it in and around Athens and did road trips from there (like going to the carnival at Patras and spending a few nights in the car), but spent around 2 months on the island of Tinos it is just beside Mykonos and spent around one month on Lesbos.

I went to Lesbos with my cousin, his dad has his paternal house there. It is a nice island and it was fun traversing it because every corner is so different, on the other hand it is a big island and their house was in a small village in the emptiest corner, so everything was a long car trip.

Tinos, I had the time of my life that was where both my parents are originally from. It is a small island and you can go around the whole island in a day (so distances are small. It was fun because when I was in the villages I kept on moving around and there were a lot of "youths" my age late teens early 20's (there on vacation as well-- in other times the villages tend to be bare) One of my moms cousin had a house in the main village (as well as a second house in a different village) and so I ended up having the house all to myself, a15-20 min walk to the beach, around the same to some of my favourite night clubs, my "schedule" had become, wake up around 12-1PM grab a bite, relax and just hang, go for a swim around 5-6 PM until 7-8, go get a bite to eat, go home shower and change and go out until 8am the next day. Man that was the life.

Sounds brilliant i may well give Greece another try.
I've never heard of Tinos,you learn something new every day.

Thanks Anthony

Greece is full of islends

Vacation? Wot's one of them?

So isn't anyone else going to talk about one of theirs djy, I had to go back a dozzen or more years for that one, so come on and give something

A week at Tenby about 8 - 9 years ago. It's hardly worth the bother.

at 3.30 today i get a call they have overbooked and they have NO room for us at presthaven.

I went Nuclear!

They have now said we can go to Pwllheli which is another 60 miles.
So I'm off to Pwllheli tommorrow.

For a significant discount, right?

err no! there terms and conditions say either a refund or they will offer a alternative no other options. I don't have to pay any more money but i do have to drive further.
What can you do when you have kids so excited about going away?

Drink heavily! :P
