Big birthday next year for me. Haven’t decided yet but looking at Halifax and Nova Scotia or Costa Rica

Costa Rica, just fabulous. Not just the wildlife but the place just buzzes at night. Brilliant people. . Stay Pacific coast, do the night walks in the rainforest and loads of other hikes.kimbo said:Big birthday next year for me. Haven’t decided yet but looking at Halifax and Nova Scotia or Costa Rica1 -
Anyone got any tips for Seville, going in October, taking in Real Betis’ game vs Osasuna as well.1

Lots to see. Very nice place.aki2798 said:Anyone got any tips for Seville, going in October, taking in Real Betis’ game vs Osasuna as well.I wouldn’t bother going to the top of the bell tower at the cathedral. Lots of people and the limited view not worth the effort.
By contrast the Setas de Sevilla (I think also
known as the mushrooms) offer great views and we enjoyed going back in the evening when illuminated (ticket valid for a re-visit for that purpose).1 -
Any Elvis impersonators?DA9 said:
We stayed at the TUI princess suite on the left and loved it, at the time it was an adults only hotel. Entertainment was decent.MrOneLung said:
Have often looked at these 3 hotels @DA9 but fear there is nothing else in that areaDA9 said:Gran Canaria, Taurito, end of May, in the hotel dead opposite where we stayed in July 24, we watched from a distance as it was being refurbed. Thats a water park in the middle, perfect for my teenage son.
I turn 60 this time next year, hoping to go on a northern lights/christmas market cruise in late november/early december, as I cant take leave in september/october due to work commitments.
our kids will be 14&16 next summer
What is the evening entertainment like, and are the pools saltwater ?
cheers
the water park is separate from both hotels but there are other restaurants, bars and shops dotted around the the perimeter of it. Morgan has a good market a couple of times of week.
we liked the whole area1 -

Currently living in a building site which is a complete nightmare (and freezing cold). The only thing getting us through is planning fictional trips to take next year that we definitely can't afford and wont have any annual leave for! Plans are getting more and more detailed including finding hotels and day trips even though we will not be doing any of it. Current plan is 3 weeks in the carribean in Feb/March doing some sailing and island hopping in the Grenadines. Then a quick dive trip to Egypt in May for Manta ray season. Nothing much in the summer but Kenya and the Seychelles in Sept/Oct and then the Maldives in November/December for more diving and hopefully some sharks.
Reality is much more like a weekend in Cornwall but we are having fun planning and thinking of warmer places is getting us through the no heating and large hole in the house!
Anyone planning any good trips and want to share so that I can live vicariously through you?2 -
Right Protarus, Cyprus.Talk to me people, things to go, see, do etc in that region.Cheers all0

Currently looking at a family holiday for the Easter break, nice and warm would be great. Would love some suggestions if anyone can help.0

We went there for our honeymoon 38 years ago!AFKABartram said:Right Protarus, Cyprus.Talk to me people, things to go, see, do etc in that region.Cheers all
Back then, Fig Tree Bay was the place to see.
Be interesting to hear what Protarus is like now, when we went, it had about three hotels and a handful of shops, bars and restaurants, it really was a small village.0 -
Boston in September/October for the New England autumn. Meant to be amazing
Las Vegas potentially for Oasis
I'd like to go to Slovenia about May or June time
One of my mates got married this year and selfishly didn't have a stag do so we are going to drag him on one stay in a villa somewhere and just booze, smoke ganja and tell each other lies about how many women we have slept with
In an ideal world a Caribbean holiday in January1 -

Hire a car and explore the island. Go to the mountains and see the more traditional life.AFKABartram said:Right Protarus, Cyprus.Talk to me people, things to go, see, do etc in that region.Cheers all
fig tree bay is nice
ayia napa is a bus ride away as is paralimni
you can cross the boarder into the Turkish side at Nicosia or you can visit a local look out tower/ cafe not far from protarus. You can also do boat trip to the 1 mile no man zone
Nice beach at protarus with boat trips/ hire as well as other hire like jet skis etc
a few more than 3 hotels but nice smallish town with bars/restruants

Heading off on Monday for a three week holiday (longest for 20+ years) - a few days in Seoul followed by two and half weeks in Japan - Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and some hiking.3

Hire a car, its dirt cheap in Cyprus and they drive on the correct side of the road. There is a lot of interesting stuff to see in Cyprus and some really, really nice beaches that you will only find and get to by car as nice as the ones accessible by public transport are.

Not having a summer holiday next year as our daughter will be waiting on her A level results and due to her mental health issues, don't want to leave her alone (the lead up to her GCSE's was a nightmare for her).

If you like the music of Queen and don't mind tribute acts, then give Q Cocktail Bar a go when Jay Mercury is appearing there.AFKABartram said:Right Protarus, Cyprus.Talk to me people, things to go, see, do etc in that region.Cheers all
I've seen him a couple of times when he has appeared in Paphos and he was superb both times.
He's doing a UK tour over the winter and I might try to see him again.1 -
