I love Croatia, we had a tour round last summer. Very much like Italy but less commercialised. Where about are you going? Vegas again for me tomorrow.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted September 4, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2019 Spent a week looking at Vegas and New York two-city deals and then suddenly, out of the blue, we're off to Dubai for 6 days. I've got to say I didn't see that coming. Any 'must do' stuff and can we buy the attraction entrance here? Is it cheaper to do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll give it a try 1 day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marple whites Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 16 hours ago, Elson said: 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 Brill - thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted September 5, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted September 5, 2019 We both did NY last November. I've done LV on my own (well, with a group of about 100 other singers and family) but MrsD never fancied it. Hence we ended up going the opposite way. Obviously we'll be going to see the Burj Khalifa but beyond that, I would love to know the places folk went and loved but as importantly, went and wished they hadn't.

Maybe that's their way of ensuring there is very low incidences of drunkenness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most places do happy hour from 5-8pm and a pint is about £6/7 then. Rest of the time, £10 is about normal. £24? Must be in the Burj. There are a few all inclusive popping up - have a look at the Rixos in Abu Dhabi... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
