7 nights clubbing in the partaaay capital of Europe, Menorca (Son Bou?) during the kids holidays.
Already on countdown and already gutted it's only 7 nights. Not been away for anything longer than a week since my honeymoon 14yrs ago, and more than ready for it now!
Quality place son Bou lovely beach been there 3 times out of the last 5 years, giving it a miss this year due to having extension built gutted.
First two weeks in August we are off to Austria and I can't wait. A spot of househunting while we are there but more for 2 weeks or BBQ's and doing cool stuff with the kids (6 and 2) and wife.
We went to Majorca for a week last month - was ok but the weather wasn't brilliant and the kids were a nightmare
Also had a business trip to South Africa 2 weeks ago - that was bloody amazing.
A fortnight in the Maldives in July, then a fortnight in Bali in September. My new found hobby of scuba diving has been blocked as I've just had lens replacement surgery. So it's the beach and the bar for me then.:)

The brochures shouldn't say 'Family Holidays' - should instead be 'Stress in a Warmer Climate'
Obviously a generalisation but i remember watching a couple of families on holiday last year and coming to the conclusion that some people are just not used to spending proper periods of time with their kids (schools, childerminders, breakfast clubs, after school clubs etc), and just don't really know how to cope with it (despite packing the kids off to kids club every day).
Done Vegas (boxing) and Spain (golf) so far this year so about time I took my wife away!! We've got a week in Palma at the beginning of July, trip to Gibraltar and southern Spain house hunting in August and New York Christmas shopping (and boxing hopefully) in late November.
Heard so many good things about Turkey so we're off to Belek in August.
As mentioned on another thread, If you haven't booked I can highly recommend this place, been a few times kids love it, never even bother to leave the hotel till home time
Missus has booked a fortnight in Bulgaria in August with my youngest boys (13 & 15), not sure about this, Sunny beach, all inclusive, onsite water park.
Nowhere yet. I have 10 days off in November and want to book a family friendly place abroad that will still be hot that time of year. I have a 2 year old son so don't want to go too far afield. Are the Canary islands hot that time of year? Thanks in advance.
I have been to 81 different countries/islands and happy to share experiences. Wifey and I are off to Bahamas next month. Any views, suggestion etc (we have booked for experiences with Sea lions, dolphins and Stingray (the latter two we have done before in other parts of the world). Thanks in advance.
Visit frogs bar in NASSAU, it's quite cool. Make sure you buy a coconut cocktail.

Love Menorca, really is a beautiful island. Enjoy mate!
Staying in Ciutadella for two weeks in September. Do you know it? Any recommendations?
Big 6 0 coming up in August, so special holiday scheduled - touring western Canada then cruising up to Alaska. Will go to the QPR game but then away for the rest of the month. Just hope we aren't bottom of the league by the time I'm back!

Weird to think we must have been staying in the same hotel ;-)
Off to Corralejo, Fuerteventura in two weeks, I cant wait. My first holiday abroad with my kids for over 13 years (except for GreenieJnr he's working).
You'll love it there, fantastic choice
The party Jnr has planned around his old mans house should be pretty full on also.
Off to Menorca for a week on Wednesday. All looked good on the Thomson website and TripAdvisor. Had a quick look last night and seems there is some sort of sickness bug going round. We have gone all inclusive too!

You're right, some people don't or don't want to spend time with their family. The main reason I don't go to charlton that often is because I spend time with them, not because I feel I have to but because I want to.

Even if you catch it just drink through it mate, each morning when you wake up being sick just pretend that it's down to the booze you had the day before then get out for a hair of the dog

Will be hot in Rome but we'll pick our days to go into the city and have a pool at the house/villa as well as shade.
