Dr Faustus Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 New York cancelled cos Doris's ankle hasn't healed, and at least another 3 weeks in plaster. Portugal a week earlier also in doubt for her... Might not be a bad thing 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyther_Matt Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Won a few quid in our Last Man Standing at the weekend so just booked two nights in Berlin in December. Return flights and staying in Park Inn on Alexanderplatz for £280 including breakfast so not bad at all. Christmas markets, currywurst and (hopefully) Union Berlin v Hoffenheim, that'll do for me.

Salford Trotter Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I can highly recommend Toronto as a holiday destination, loads to do and some incredible eateries. Off to the CN tower this afternoon to take in the views and dinner in the revolving restaurant tonight. Fly off to NYC tomorrow, booked tickets for a Yankees game and for a couple of clubs so can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to and pick some flight tickets up from her around 93 when I was staying in Benitses. Got to the tracel agents and the tickets were in somebody else is name, she'd just crossed it out and written our names on in biro. The departure staff and cabin crew never blinked an eye at the tickets, before 9/11 though when air travel security was very lax to say the least Edited September 3, 2019 by Widnes Two Hats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing a lot of decent reports to be honest. Stayed in Playacar just outside Playa del Carmen once at the New Rui Palace and twice at the Rui tequila (before it was done up) Really nice place, beach is stunning gated Area so nice and safe but Carmen only a short walk away. Last trip we stayed at the Royalton wow what a Hotel.just to far out of the way for us but hands down up there as one of best hotels we stayed at. Trips loads chichen itza a long day and warm but one to tick off as is Coba Ruins, you could climb that but I think may of been stopped now. Tulum again just nice to tick off with a cenote after. Xel ha for your dolphins etc Boats trips to isla contoy and mujeres. And Coco Bongos is dear for what it is but on holiday so just enjoy. And book with Tui so you can fly on the dreamliner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
