It wont be long before all the holiday adverts start but with the economic downturn has anybody booked their holiday 09?

As a starter for 2009 I'm off to Oz for all of February 09 and a long weekend in Rome at the beginning of April.

    I'm taking redundancy in the spring and am going to blow some of the cash on wandering around its of Europe I like and bits of Europe I haven't seen before. The pound's collapse against the euro is making me pause for thought a little bit!

    Nothing booked yet. Thought about booking early in the hope of getting a bargain, but then again don't want to risk booking with a firm that might go bust, so may hang on for a while yet.

    Booked the states again end of may before the credit crunch,in hindsight i probably wouldn't take a holiday now if it wasn't booked.

    Entered into a classic car rally/show in Laon France for a couple of days in May.

    Mates Stag night in Prague in August but no main holiday booked yet. Missus has just given birth so probably nothing too spectacular.

    Monument Valley is still a dream (Mrs.M not a western fan) but one day.....so probably Jockland and the distillery tours again (she does like malts, fortunately).

    Will do brief England trips to Spain (if it ever gets arranged), maybe Kazakhstan (hoping to give it a swerve as a grand is a bit much!) but definitely Amsterdam and the Ukraine...

    Other than that possibly a few days in Ibiza around May seeing as it's pretty local and getting in before it's £15 a soft drink and then will have some summer sun i hope!

    Nothing planned yet, but a couple of my friends are moving to the Netherlands in the spring, so I'll probably go to visit them at some point. Need to renew my passport first though.

    With the £ so weak against the € I doubt we'll do our early AND late Euro hols. Looking to do one here http://www.grove-cottages.co.uk/cottages.lasso and one away unless the exchange rate does a bit U-turn.

    Depends on what the £ against the € rate is.

    Nothing booked but hoping to do:

    A Canary Island in Feb/March
    Jamaica or Cuba in June
    Vegas as is customary in November.

    We'll see how work goes and the hoiday with the missus might have to be scrapped to fund Vegas.
