Salford Trotter Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 Boston for a wedding and then onto Toronto or Montreal still deciding which one Quote
Biggish Dave Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Got a few things bubbling along but nothing yet booked. Trying to get the Mrs to agree to Sydney for NYE then up to the Gold Coast. Summer likely to be NYC, Dollywood then Nashville and then Vegas at some stage in autumn Quote
Spider Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Nothing probably. brexit is taking care of that tough shit, that’s all. The kids understand now I’ve explained Mounts viewpoint. They’re excited for 2024 though when they can ponce around Spain with blue passports lording it over a broken Europe. Edited September 21, 2018 by Spider Quote
Salford Trotter Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Maybe they could go with Uncle Mounts to his place in Spain after all its only fair he shares some of the responsibility for this debacle Quote

Didn’t rate Montreal at all, in fact Quebec or Ottawa are both far better than Montreal if only having a couple of days there Edited September 22, 2018 by Biggish Dave Quote

Widnes Two Hats Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 skiathos town 6 days, ferry over to skopolos for 7 days, ferry back to skiathos for 1 day, fly home Last time I did that part of greece I also did Alomissos too but to be honest with you, a day trip there is enough. It's basically 4 hotels and a beach so sunbath during the day, back to hotel for food and a few beers then bed, repeat everyday, not a lot to see but if you just wanna destress and chill its good, just not for me I preferred Skopolos to Skiathos, much more Greeek and prettier, stay in both Skiathos Town and Skopolos Town, Koukounaries is the place to be during the day with Skaithos town at night. I usually get a moped for the week so easy to get about. Skiathos town is about 10 mins from the airport Quote
Casino Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Cheers. Might try to get that by the committee of fun prevention Quote
Widnes Two Hats Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 You're going in the right direction Cassie, smaller and less commercial each year. Before you know where you are you'll be booking Paxos Quote

Big John Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Went this year, stay clear of the tourist bars especially in Budva and use the locals bars. Brilliant place. Quote

Where's the corfu ferry port in Corfu Ferry port is in Corfu Town, flying dolphin takes about 45 mins to Gaios, then taxi to Lakka about 15 mins. It's in my top 3 Greek places, food is fantastic, people are fantastic, place is fantastic. Look up at Lakka and if you're serious I'll give you some tips of how to get there and what to do when you are there Quote
