Has anyone got some holiday recommendations for the caribbean....Cuba or Dominican Republic...in Jan or Feb....hopefully might be able arrange 7 days off by then......not a chance of getting 14 days!

A holiday! What's that?

Something from the dim and distant past for me! What was the ultimatum she gave me holiday or divorce.....so I'm looking at the cheaper option!

You need to have a holiday folks, we all need a break and something to look forward to. Life's too short for work, work, work.

Going just for 7 days that far you would spend 4 days of it jet lagged the canaries would be better IMO for a short holiday quite nice that time of year I am in Florida at the mo 10 days would be the shortest at this distance IMO

But I am a little older lol

Jet lag...whats that?.....I've done dozens of flights over the Atlantic over the years....jet lag just doesn't affect me! I find 7 days is just enough to keep me interested,going for 14 days I find that after 10 days I start to get bored!

Hi Gary So am I zip code 34746 where are you out here till the 6 sept

Hi Folks, just got back from this place Dreams Resorts & Spas - Palm Beach Punta Cana. And without doubt it has the best service you will get anywhere! and that is from someone who doesn't give out compliments freely.(So the wife says!)
Everyone.....the Rep,the barmen,the maids,the receptionists,the waiters,the gardeners.....absolutely fantastic people,always smiling,always helpful however busy they were.
Plenty going on all day and evening....too much to mention here.
I would even recommend the Premier Inn at Gatwick for convenience.....30m from the North Terminal.....I hate the thought of being late for checking in at the Airport.

Me and the wife stayed there in 2009 for our first wedding anniversary, top floor overlooking the prefered club pool and beach! Stunning place if I remember rightly, lots of disarrano and good cigars!

Yeah, we went through the Prefered Club pool area to get to the Seaside grill some nights. I thought the sun beds seemed a bit rammed in around the pool area......not nice if you had paid all that extra money and found you were sitting next to a group of Americans twineing on........well you still would have heard them from the other side of the building anyway!

On your death bed can you imagine saying "I wish I spent more time at work"
I used to put holidays off, even canceled weekends away on Wednesday/Thursday the same week as going away, they don't think any better of you for it, had a company go bang on me as well I used to break my back for,

 

[High Peak Tiling]

Not personally, but my uncle and co have been to the Dominican Republic and loved it

 

[Lee@emctiles]

Giving this a bit of a bump, sorry......

Righto.......Need a little break to take my kids away this August.

Will only be a 4 night stay so UK only.

Thinking of going to North Devon, heard that Woolabombe beach is wonderful for kids ect (ive twins girls aged 8 and just inherited a 9 yr old girl too, but thats another story..........)

Anyone been to Woolacombe Bay Holiday Park? In particularly the Golden Coast one?

I didn't go on holiday for 11 years but last year (September) i went to Hisaronu in Turkey and it was absolutely fantastic..... And so cheap too! Went all inclusive (including alcoholic drinks) for 11 nights for £380, i took £800 to spend but it was more like having £3000 as the exchange rate was so good. Highly recommend Hisaronu as a town to anyone and am going again this september.

Never ever again will i not have a holiday at least once a year.

Lee i go up st abbs in scotland,( i go diving but the area is superb)loverly beaches and hotels/bars/eateries
Ive eaten possibly the greatest mussels in the world ( its all about the sauce) exquisite .

 

[padtheplumber]

We haven't been to north devon, but if you're willing to go a bit further I can recommend Haven Riviera Sands in Hayle, near St Ives. Its on a massive sandy beach, lovely little site, loads to do in the area, and there's a great pub called the Bluff on the cliff top overlooking the sea! Cant wait to get back there in June

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Sounds great!
Unfortunately I've had to visit a small town called Calpe in Spain ( north of Alicante) for the last 25 years!
It's grown up considerably over those years and the Euro made it more expensive, but it's sunny and relaxing and a perfect place to retire.
That first cup of coffee is the best!

 

[afright]

Have done a few trips to Riviera Maya (not Cancun) just loved it but every time I went it got a little bit more expensive as I wanted a bit more from the hotels,now just content to stay on my cabin cruiser for a few nights and a lot cheaper,but do miss Mexico.
