Croatia is the place to be nowadays. The islands off Split are fantastic!

I'm going to Magaluf for a week in August, despite being 23 I'm not so keen on going but it's the choice of destination due to a stag do that's going and our party of lads having mutual friends. For the past two years we've been to Benidorm, I love Benidorm, cheap, nice weather and there's a good mix of young, middle aged, old people to interact with which I like. I don't have a lot of money so if I can get away for a few days or a week in the sun for a good price then I'll go.

I watched that Magaluf programme the other night and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit worried. I'll be watching my drinking, I'm always a bit more reserved abroad than I am at home, weirdly.

Sometime in the future I'd like to travel Europe, my ex girlfriend was half Estonian and we were planning on going there for a few days before we spilt up.That really appealed to me.

I would be up for the drinking but the mate I'm going with, like you, is a bit more reserved when it comes to knocking them back. I've been to Benidorm a couple of times before (2007 last time) and it was the best resort holiday I've ever been on. It seems like you are allowed to drink at your own pace without drop-outs from Milton Keynes trying to force cheap cocktails with a 'free shot' down your neck, but there are still plenty of people in their late teens/early 20's up for a good time.

Hmm, this year, just doing the London weekend stuff (in feb and in April). Going to Amsterdam on the boat for a lads birthday, and then Poland in the summer maybe for a week.

Also, may fit New york in, but if not this year, then next year. It will still be there for me. Oh maybe Spain too, who knows?

Yup. I would imagine I'll be in the Makarska vicinity when it warms up a tad.



Pine-forested, blue-seaed, coastal meander, or if in a more energetic mood up into the Biokovo mountains behind the town.


Did Faliraki about 89/90 with the boys.
We got plenty but we were a bit cooler than the gangs of s you see nowadays roaming around in the likes of that Kavos programme.

Would love to go back to New York, plus wouldn't mind California having seen the adverts on TV. Unfortunately due to us buying a house, we won't be going away for at least a few years.

I am going on two stag do's abroad this year. Amsterdam in April and Munich in May. Haven't been to either city before but I'm looking forward to going.

4, day Catalan bash in June, (does that count??). Got a fortnight motorcycle trip planned for early July to France/Northern Spain, planned on basing myself around the Basque Country area or the Pyrenees, slight problem regarding hotel/apartment costs though, my dates happen to clash with the tour de france and the bleeding bull running festival in Pamplona, every man and his dog wants to be there at the same time i do, plan on using campsites while on the road there and back but fancy a bit of comfort for the week or so while i'm there.

A beautiful part of Spain more like Switzerland or Austria than what you'd expect of Spain, I drove through it quite a few times some years ago (ok, more than 15 years since) and never had trouble finding lodgings in even small villages but as you say you may have been unfortunate in yoru date choosing , Le Tour should be through in a single day though ?

Are you getting the ferry to Santander/Bilbao ?

Just come back from New York, well early December and loved it. Sight seeing and plus the fact I love clothes shopping.

Just booked to go to Mexico for two weeks in August, Riviera Maya. Grand Palladium Colonial & Kantenah, five star hotel. Never been to Mexico so I'm really looking forward to it, can't wait.

I can recommend California. Its not as expensive as you would think if youre prepared for non direct flights. weve been to san fran a couple of times and its my favourite city in the us by a country mile. The drive down the 101 through Monterey etc is fantastic I'm a big Steinbeck fan and a visit to cannery row plus the Monterey aquarium was fantastic. driving around LA really does feel like youre in the movies.

On topic were off to paris in March for three days and I can't wait having not been for 20 years.

I went to Riviera Maya in October last year - Grand Riviera Princess. Nice area - beaches are nice

Got a couple planned so far.

April - Every year the company rewards the top performing sales guys across Europe and take them on a VIP, all expenses trip somewhere. This year it is Turks & Caicos (Regents Palms resort) so going there with my partner in April - VIP'd through all the airports, fly 1st Class to Miami, all expenses can be put on room tab, presents every morning (bottles of whiskey, rum, champagne, ipods) - so yeah, kinda looking forward to that!

Got a familuy holiday in July to algarve and got a Villa just outside Albufeira and then got 2 weeks put aside in October to maybe head to the Canaries or Cape Verde for some late sunshine

Hopefully I'll get to go somewhere abroad this year with my friend getting 85% off holidays for herself, friends and family due to her job
