Only time I went before, I was about 12, it poured with rain all week (it was August) and it turned out I was seriously ill.
So I figured I needed to go back!
Only time I went before, I was about 12, it poured with rain all week (it was August) and it turned out I was seriously ill.Spent approx. 13 of my first 15 years doing holidays on the IOW. Got to know the place like the back of my hand and have so many great memories. Took my wife (before son was born) over there and booked us into a naff self catering place, it rained all the time and she burst into tears in the car as it it teemed it down in Ventnor. Haven't been back since, but she recently mentioned the possibility of revisiting with our son (didn't see that coming!)
Love Brixham, go there multiple times each year. I suppose as my parents live there it helpsBeen to Looe
Going to Brixham and St. Ives

Devon’s a brilliant area of the country. If the weather’s good there’s nowhere I’d rather be in the world.
Once spent some time at the lovely beach in Strete. There are some beaches in Devon that rival anything anywhere in the world. Like you say, the weather is always the unreliable factor.Devon’s a brilliant area of the country. If the weather’s good there’s nowhere I’d rather be in the world.
Whereabouts on the island? I lived in Newport for 6 years and before that 2 years in Totland Bay (West Wight). Reckon I could drive around that island blind folded! If you want any tips, pm me.Isle of Wight!
Did Skye last year, so may as well compare and contrast islands.
Am pretty close to one of the places you lived then, as am staying around the Totland / Freshwater area. particular tips would be places to eat I reckon, from decent chip shops to decent pubs, so expect a PM imminentlyWhereabouts on the island?

So you're basically suggesting I pack my wardrobe then.It’s like going into a time tunnel - take some flared trousers and a kipper tie

Went a couple of years ago in January !!! Bloody freezing but stunning place, Blue Lagoon is great fun - swim up bar in the snow but lovely warm water. Also tried a local swimming pool with boiling plunge pools. Bonus if you get to see the northern lights of course.Not been on holiday for 2 years and nothing planned. Thinking of a trip to oceland and blue lagoon. Anyone been? Worth it?
Went to Cuba a good few years ago now and drove down the whole island from Havana to Santiago de Havana really good road trip but very conscious of the poverty around. Watching a guy tell us his petrol is not watered down by proceeding to light it was a unique experience. Some of the nicest people I've ever met on my travels.Which hotel was that? We like Cuba and have been there a few times. If we go again I'd like to know which hotel to avoid!
Ignore Grendel. He's a first class twat. If the island was so backward, why would the Festival be there every year? Grendel doesn't like me because he knows I've blocked him for about a year! I sometimes allow myself a sneaky peek at his boring posts!So you're basically suggesting I pack my wardrobe then.
I lived in Freshwater for 10 years. The Red Lion pub in Freshwater is really nice. From there you can walk along the river Yar to yarmouth harbour. Really nice if the weather is good.Am pretty close to one of the places you lived then, as am staying around the Totland / Freshwater area. particular tips would be places to eat I reckon, from decent chip shops to decent pubs, so expect a PM imminently
Has anybody been to Mexico? Me and the Mrs planning to go next year. We’re a quiet couple, partial to the odd drink once in a while but not big on the partying scene. Any recommendations?
Lanzarote for a week in June. New York for 5 nights in October...first time in the US. Excited about that!
Where are you going in Lanzarote?

You’ll love NYC mate. Went last March and caught the bug immediately, going again in July. Can’t wait!
I lived there for over 20 years, just curious what do you like about it?You’ll love NYC mate. Went last March and caught the bug immediately, going again in July. Can’t wait!

Where did you stay and where did you go?
I hated it. Went in July many years ago now. Far too hot which was exacerbated by the concrete jungle nature of it.
Stayed just across the road from Port Authority Bus Terminal. Distrikt Hotel it’s called. I love the tall buildings, all the famous things, the filthy food. Love Times Square. Visited a few of the locations from The Warriors. It’s strange but I find it fascinating how it’s buzzing all night, but I’m not a big fan of overwhelming crowds, it’s a weird one. Will be doing different things this time round as opposed to the beginners’ sight seeing: One Trade, Empire State, Lady Liberty etc.
Long flight
I'm taking my two daughters on a 12-day road trip to Las Vegas (Nevada), Torrey (Utah), and Flagstaff (Arizona).
Never been to Utah before so that will be something new.
