So where’s everyone going?

St. Ives, Cornwall booked for early June.

Contemplating some winter/Easter sun.

We’ve sadly had to let our caravan go in Snowdonia, so won’t be having our usual few weeks there.

A week in Portugal in April with the lads, a week in Malta in June with the FPO (England are playing there) and a week in September somewhere still warm

Barcelona in April for a football tournament with my lads team. Usually do Turkey the first week in June but the prices are a piss take at the minute so (weather depending) we might do a week down in Poole to see mates then hopefully a foreign trip back end of the year. 

Hoping to get to Brisbane for a month in July 

And Wales one weekend a month at least 

Crete in April
Cornwall June/July
Barbados November/December

So far.

Portugal July

taking kids out of school a week before they break up this time saves a few quid 

Norway for a week in August 

Surprised that reports are bookings are up. Haven’t done anything yet as thought there would be a glut of available deals with the cost of living crisis 

Just landed in Mexico, a 3 week California road trip in June.

Just looked at Crete for April. Saying temperatures around 20c. That sound about right?

I didnt think crete was open in april

 

Just done two weeks in Caribbean. Week cruise and then a week in Barbados. Fucking amazing spoiled only by the fact that it was with TUI. Mrs Manc gets bored at work, books us a holiday and then wonders why I go off on one. It was good but you know that it’s not that good when the Mrs finally turns round and says that she’s sick of TUI fuck ups and we are better booking through your WWays mate. Hallefuckinglullagh!!!! Please don’t anyone book via TUI. Ever!!

California in June courtesy of Traf Tours. Long weekend in Malaga at some point to see my pal and then Far East/Formula 1 trip/NFL trip some time over the next 12/18 months courtesy of Traf

I’ve lost too many friends, work associates and family over the last two years, as has Mrs Manc, at ages that are way too young. We’ve made the decision to do all our big ticket stuff whilst we are still able. Could just about retire tomorrow but we both still working so rather than be the well off folk in the cemetery we are just going for it over the next 2/3 years

Gold Coast, Broome, Spain, Thailand in that order.

I’d be disappointed with 20° in April. Just got back from Benidorm and got a couple of 20° days in January. 
 

That said, I just googled it. H-10°  L-2°

Tek yer thermals!
