Who's going where? Anywhere exotic?
I'm off to St Margarets bay tomorrow for a good old fashioned family caravan holiday.

    Have you been before Baldy? I have had two holidays there, last summer and two years ago.

    I was in St Margarets Bay in a cottage last week for a few nights, pissed down all weekend. Still enjoy the pubs down there, look at out for the trannie in the dress that drinks in the Red Lion.

    Can't afford holidays atm, but we're off to Cornwall for a week anyway as my niece has decided to get married down there on 10th August.

    Off to Kalami in Corfu for August bank holiday for a week, about 18 of us.

    Could very well do without the expense of it but committed ages ago.

    Going to Ca'n Picafort in August.
    First holiday abroad for a couple of years and my 20 month olds first ever flight - should be fun....

    Off to Philadelphia next month as best man at my mate's wedding. As others have said, could have done without the expense, airlines are using Olympics as an excuse to really bump up the air fares (75% higher than in February!)

    we usually holiday around the uk, the new forest and the lake district are yet to be ticked off.

    i'd like to take the kids abroad to a family hotel with a kids club but with 3 children it looks like costing an arm and a leg. how the hell do people afford them? looked at florida, nearly a heart attack on the flight prices, ridiculous tax rate

    it's just easier enjoying home

    Prob going to Granada for a few days and then down to the Alpujarras in late September.

    Thinking about Womad next weekend and Purbeck Festival bank holiday August.

    Will be taking a weekend at my partners family's in Coventry the weekend of August 18th if that counts (carefully engineered so I can slip over to St Andrews - who says men can't be manipulative conniving b******s).

    Florida is out of the question for us to and i won't go down the road of taking my son out of school during term time. For a taste of something sort of abroad there are some nice caravan sites around Aviemore and the transport links are good from London. Loads for kids to do too.

    The Olympics have really buggered our plans this year as Mrs McMoist can't get time off due to her job. Therefore, got a week in Centre Parcs stating next Friday with McMoist Jnr. Come home and then it's off to Mijas Pueblo for a week in August but gotta be back for the exam results on 23rd. We usually go to Spain for 3 and a half weeks in the summer so I'm not happy.
  • Usually sort Holidays out early doors , lot going on this year so unable to sort out in enough time , so decided to make this year an Olympic holiday and go to a few events , and no i'm not running the 100 metres! :-0
