Reet. Where’s everyone off to?

Ive got Dom Rep for 10 days on 3rd Jan and a North American/Canadian Cruise in September courtesy of Traf Tours

Looking at some short breaks as well. Malaga definitely but maybe Scotchland Isles? Italy?

Oh excellent, you are on the same flight as us going out, we shall see you at the airport

Looking forward to it mate

Putting our house on the market, so the Mrs doesn’t wanna book any holidays until we know our next move, etc.

I was pretty much all-in for getting a 12-day trip to Turkey or the likes in late May-early June. Still considering it.

She’s in Finland snowshoeing for a week. Says its payback for my lads trip to India last March. I’ve told her to check the T&Cs…. All nights owed to her from 2024 expired on the 31st Dec. So her trip to Finland now means I’ve 7 nights in the bag!!

Which I will be deducting from my 16/17 day trip to Istanbul, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Khazakstan in early May. Should be very, very different.

Booked a day trip to Alicante today. Taking my eldest. 5.50am flight out. And 10.20pm flight back. Should give us 10-12 hours in the city. Believe it’s meant to be a pretty decent place to visit. Any tips, please shout out.

Get pissed on Fosters

Where the beach and the Melia hotel is

Head away from them North West and into the pedestrianised area. Multiple bars and restaurants. Grab a seat at a table, get served , and enjoy….

Keep moving to different bars/restaurants

Have any of you filthy animals ever visited Tbilisi, Georgia? What’s it like? Any good? Do’s and Don’ts etc?

I’ve just been informed that I am going to a wedding there. 👍

I wouldn't expect many if any off here has been. It's a bit dodgy but I assume you have family there so should be fine.

Black pudding, but that's an extra €0.50

Nice views from the castle on the hill. Had a decent lunch up there as well......

Mothers booked a week in Alcudia for the kids, me and her. Only rule is I’m not allowed to call her Mum and if anyone asks we are sisters. She’s gonna be more hard work than the 3 year old. 

Warsaw for 12 lads coming up in a couple of weeks, any decent recommendations if anyone has been for bars/restaurants that'll have us all?

There was a family run removal firm called Coons from Cornwall back in the 80s. Didn’t do many trips up country 

Back from a long weekend Traf tour to Rome

Always avoided it because it’s expensive, dirty, folk rip you off everywhere, traffic is shit, etc, etc 

Loved it. Happy to go back again. Amazing city. None of the above apply

Only downside was it’s the Catholic Jubilee Year and the Pope is looking like he’ll cark it sometime soon so no chance of getting into St Peter’s Basilica. Was like walking down Wembley Way for a left footers cup final. Fuck me there were thousands

Another traf tour booked very easily and well looked after. Back to Madeira in August to take in some Maritimo action.

I'm off to Benidorm in the morning for 3 days. I'm dreading it and looking forward to it in equal measure. I let a mate book it.....flights and 3 nights accommodation for £180, fuck knows what sort of establishment we'll be staying in

Just avoid Hotel Cuco and you should be OK.
