Going Away For Christmas

Featured Replies

Potentially got a week off over Christmas for the first time in seven years.

 

Where's good where I can get my chippy tits out and have a splash in a pool when it's too hot.

 

Got a 6 month old baby in tow as well as the Mrs so need to consider that.

 

Was thinking Cuba but wouldn't discount somewhere closer to home.

 

Well travelled folk of wanderers ways give me your advice!

Cala Gran

Canaries & Egypt (predictably) are both warm and within a reasonable flight time for a nipper.

Cuba, USA and Caribbean are probably too far for just a week IMO.

I could probably get 10 days as I have loads of holidays left.

Centre Parcs - handy for both Barnsley and Leicester.

Fly to Tenerife then go an extra mile (or 20 miles) and get the ferry to La Gomera from Los Cristianos, it's about 70-80 Euros return for a couple...

 

Failing that, this place looks nice enough...

Do a cruise

Puerto Mogan, Gran Canaria

 

Very family friendly, no timeshare touts, no nob heads. Lovely beach, harbour etc.

Blackpool

Not that close to home!

 

Deffo needs to be abroad and warm. Been to Amadores so could consider de Mogan.

 

Not even bothered checking prices or anything yet.

I know pal. He does fuck all but sleep and shit though so I doubt he'd be any hassle.

I'm certainly no child expert but I reckon he might be doing a little bit more than that in 3 or so months.

He can do, and does do a lot more now. He proper takes after his mam and dad though and can never be arsed! :thumbsup:

If you are doing the canaries good luck with the weather, last 3 winter holidays I've had there were a wash out. Probably just my bad luck but I'd go for Egypt in future.

I was like that. My mother was permanently taking me to the doctors worried as I was doing fuck all (I got a bang on my head when they dropped me in the ambulance, long story),  Anyhow, eventually he had to tell her the truth.

Mrs NB, your beautiful baby is not disabled, she's just fucking lazy  :D

I'm off to bloody Bolton for Christmas, providing the hotel sorts out its special offers. There's a pool, and luckily no football.

I'll be home for christmas

He's already a Canal St regular and wants a change of scenery.

Lanzarote also nice try Playa Blanca.
