Dr Gloom 22503 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Two weeks somewhere hot in Southern Europe, not sure where yet. Got stag weekends coming up in Hamburg and Barcelona though don't know if they can be described as holidays. A wedding weekend in Bucharest. Was hoping to visit my brother in LA but not sure I can cope with the 11 hour flight with a two year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 10383 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Where is that? Smoky Mountains, Pigeon Forge nr Gatlinburg in ole Tennesee. Was looking for somewhere to stay/go after Nashville on way back to Atlanta, for flight home, and thought we'd go to Dollywood (for a laugh as it was "on the way-ish") and by chance happened upon the Smoky Mountains and the cabins, so we've cut down time we were going to spend Memphis/Nashville hopping to have a chillax week in the mountains/national park and within an easy day trip to Lynchburg and JD distillery and aforesaid Dollywood etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

south_cheshire_toon 0 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Im off to Miami on Monday and then Orlando with a trip to the everglades in between. Boom. We stopped over a few days last year after a cruise around the carribean, stopped in Fort Lauderdale near the Galeria Mall, very cool and nice. Did a everglades tour as well, very good. Some links :- Blue Martini bar near the mall http://www.bluemarti...tini-girls.html Boat tour link http://www.evergladesholidaypark.com/ Was in some doubt about this tour as am not a follower of those that stick their hands in the croc's mouths etc - but these guys were great. Have a great time - you'll love it. Edited February 22, 2013 by south_cheshire_toon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15831 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 The fella's away at Easter and I didn't want to spend the whole weekend sitting around the house scratching my balls (a couple of days will suffice), so I've just booked an overnighter in Eastbourne. Sounds like a pensioner's paradise, I know, but there's some cracking walks around there (Beachy Head and co.) and even just sitting on an adequately warm beach all day with a good book is a novelty when you live in the middle of the big bad city. Plus it was £40 for trains and a hotel for the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a blogger (my former landlord) who raves about the food in Istanbul and posted numerous times about specific foodgasms he'd had over there. Looking at his blog now, all I can find is reviews of..... mosques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Really want to go to Mauritius, Maldives, Reunion or somewhere like that but cant be arsed with 12 hours in a plane with a 2 year old.

Food tips would be quality as I'm expecting the food to be gash tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't go too wrong with the Canaries really - good solid holiday fare, decent temperatures, bit of a different environment & plenty of weird volcanic landscapes nearby if you want to imagine you're not really on a standard package trip. I'd happily up sticks and winter in Lanzarote every year (even at the risk of hating myself for using "winter" as a verb) at my still tender age.

If you're happy with grilled lamb and veg off a skewer and fresh bread, you'll be fine wherever you end up. If the lads on your trip need chips and peas and all the trappings, well...

I'll drop him a note tonight. Funny lad Mutlu, built like a brick shithouse but soft as clarts. Massive Fenerbahce fan too, he is desperate for us to meet in the EL. He lives in Switzerland now but goes back to see his wife and kids in Istanbul each weekend so he should provide some decent input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its what we were thinking, not amazing but cant really go wrong. I've been to Gran Canaria for a week away with the lads about 15 years ago and it was cheap and cheerful. Looking to go upmarket these days but no idea which of the Islands is the nicest. Any insights on that? Why Lanzarote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
