Bit gutted really this year as with all the health problems from last year the kids missed out on any form of holiday, promised them this year we would go away as my eldest will be off to college after the summer, not really many more chances left with her before she's all grown up.
Sadly not able to do it as work all went to pot late last year and only really just getting back on our feet again.
May go somewhere on the south coast but will have to be very late in the year.
Just need one good year for a change data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
But on the plus side I am just ordering a new company car data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
We go to that area regularly. A friend has a 3 bed villa he lets us have for a crazily cheap price. Mil Palmeras, on the coast 10 mins from Murcia airport (and we're only 10mins from Luton). Really easy, cheap holiday. Although it's so cheap we end up blowing a fortune on food and booze instead.
This years we have 3 weeks in Florida. Not been for 8 years. Loads of parks, loads of golf and loads of relaxing in between.
We are booked here for 10 days at the beginning of August (just the wife and I) and to be honest I can't wait!
Luxury hotel in Costa Adeje | Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel 5*
I'm tempted to do this at one point in my life, although we have no camping gear so thats a bit of an obstacle to overcome first!
we did some train journeys last year in holland and germany as went to see a mate in holland and ended up - uk - utrecht (1 night), amersfoort (1night), hannover (2 nights), flensburg (3 nights), leiden (1 night)... I usd to live in hannover, and went out for a night out in flensburg back in 97'..!
great fun data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I should think of all the obstacles that is a pretty easy one to fix data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
True, although its an investment that I will probably end up saying stuff that & book a hotel!
Need to book something for summer time still. Going to Dubai in October though. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
We bought our gear two years ago and have done ten weeks in the tent now - compared to two hotel rooms for that long we are quids in data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7We were lucky and got our tent 2nd hand but basically new.
Im a complete camping novice so its a minefield to me, but you are right it is the most cost effective way of traveling.
