Big City Girl Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 What flavour jam? Blackcurrant first Strawberry second Lemon curd otherwise Marmalade can fuck right off Quote
Widnes Two Hats Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 No John Smiths, or even cider for that matter however, bizarrely enough Mackesons Stout is available in every single bar, a hangover from the Empire no doubt but it still seems strange seeing advertisements for it everywhere. Quote

Sweep Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Only last week we were just about to book a week in France, a week in Cornwall (which is booked) and a fortnight in Goa at the end of the year.....................just found out this week that I might be losing my job, so have had to put the foreign ones on hold for now. It's biz! Quote
Casino Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Don't worry about the job, once the trade deals are sorted you'll be fine Just be positive Quote

birch-chorley Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 At the start of the week I had no holidays planned, yesterday I booked for Ibiza and California. Jam butties for next two months. Love California, think it's my favourite holiday destination Where are you going / what are you doing? Used to be a pain with flights from Manchester but believe Thomas Cook do Manchester to LA & San Fran as well now for reasonable money They have also started doing Manchester to Cape Town in the Winter as well, it's on my list Quote

birch-chorley Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) That's good news!£500-£600 return I'm led to believe Not bad at all IMO Edited January 13, 2017 by birch-chorley Quote
olispence Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) I've just got back from two weeks cruising the Caribbean. I really enjoy the concept and I think it works especially well for places such as the Caribbean as many of the islands are smaller so can be done in a day. It also gives you the option of beach days or doing a bit of a tour of the island. I've done a Med cruise and didn't really enjoy the ports of call as much as they are generally too far from the city and don't give enough time in each place. I was skeptical but would advise anyone to give it a go. The choice of company and ship is always quite important but that's down to each individual's taste. I've done NCL once and P&O twice. For me the American ships offer more "fun" but some like the British feel and the sort of home away from home that P&O offer. Edited January 15, 2017 by olispence Quote
Smiley Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) At the start of the week I had no holidays planned, yesterday I booked for Ibiza and California. Jam butties for next two months. I'm itching to get back to California. £499 flights with Thomas Cook I think. And I know Virgin are starting direct flights from Manchester to SF from around April. PS. Too much sugar in jam and carbs in the bread. You need to avoid!!!! Edited January 15, 2017 by Smiley Quote
tarian1979 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I'm itching to get away from this cesspit weather Quote
Smiley Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Finally got my first booking under the belt. 3 nights in Madeira. 5 star hotel B&B, under £250 for 2 of us including flights. Could've gone All-Inc for about £190 for the 2 of us, but looked a bit shit. Quote

The amount of jam on a slice of bread- kinell you'll get more calories in your in flight meal and drinks. Quote

I could happily retire to France, especially the South, Juan Le Pins is fantastic (that whole area is to be fair) Quote
Sweep Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Love France, where you going? I could happily retire to France, especially the South, Juan Le Pins is fantastic (that whole area is to be fair) Only over to Normandy to a little town there that we like, we take the dog with us, so don't really like a long drive once we pop out of the tunnel, and the Normandy beaches are just fantastic. The people there are great as well, which always helps I agree with you about France in general, we went last year, and have been looking at places there already, you can get some decent properties for not a great deal of money (in comparison to here). We really fancy buying a holiday/retirement place out there in the next few years Quote

With only a couple of ex pats in the town it that makes him and his mrs have to learn the lingo which is exactly what he hoped for. Quote
tomski Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I'm saving for a holiday home. Currently it will be Spain over France for me but I really like France as well Quote

Must admit, can't see the point of living abroad if you're not going to integrate Quote
birch-chorley Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I'd love to learn a language properly, on my 'list' Fancy French although my Mrs gets by in Spanish. She was fluent having lived in San Sebastián for her ERASMUS year, as she hasn't kept it up she's lost it a bit Quote
