Holidays ..... 2009

Vicky, i thought somewhere on here you said you had booked the ferry for the 17th, must have got confused.:cnfs:

Honeybee, glad you had a good time in Cornwall, hope the redundancy doesn't happen.

 

I'm going to Corsica and Tuscany in October but a couple of weeks ago I was up in Inverewe. It was just gorgeous there. This is the fabulous vegetable garden there. It's 58 degrees north.

 

Will try to get back to this thread to see where all is going.

But to answer: Already in May we spent two weeks in Key West, Florida, at our favorite place for the last 9 or so years. Partied with friends, fished, searched for emeralds on Mel Fishers boat, and gathered freckles.

End of July, just a short trip to Ohio, 8 hour drive, staying about 4 nights for a Nippon Convention. My cousins live in Ohio, same area, so will have a family reunion with them then.
Mid-August, will travel to a new place for a week, up to Northern Ontario, Canada and stay at Chaudiere Lodge for lots of fishing, seeing Gods Country, river boating and relaxing. Please google the Lodge and notice the menu, the meals are included with a average fee and sound wonderful. I am really looking forward to this trip.
Mid- October we will travel to Orlando, Fl. and stay in a lovely resort near Disney World.
We will visit Disney World about 3 days worth I guess, have to buy the tickets still. The resort has so much to offer in the way of activities and restaurants it should be fun.
And that should be it for the year.
:hol::hol::hol::hol::hol::hol:

 

Roders,hope you have a great time in Corfu,the Hotel looks fabulous from here:luv:

Looks like there are some good holidays coming up so hope everyone has nice weather and you all have a safe journey there and back and you get lots of nice piccy's:gnthb::D

 

You've got some good trips coming up Red, our trip to the Mid West last year is still in our minds it was soooo good.:gnthb:
Loved Ontario too.:gnthb:

 

strongy, we were speaking in my Castles in the Air thread .... I said ...

"Madeira is not counted out but not booked ... it is t'other half's birthday on the 17th and the ferry we would be on arrives on the 17th mid morning. Found a really nice apartment near the port and we would take the car. Will keep in touch with you on this ... sounds an unlikely meeting ... passing ships and planes in the day .... "

We could go on the one that leaves Portimão on the 9th arriving mid-morning of the 10th, leaving Madeira on the 15th, arriving here on the 16th so home for the birthday.

It's a 23 hour ferry journey.

Lots of holiday meetings going on here ... last week Shiney met up with Steve R in the Lake District and yesterday Sis met up with DAG in Essex.

 

Seems I miss read that.
We could still meet then?:D

 

At least if you do meet me, you have to look down on me as I'm a short sh1t at 5'2" .... :lollol:

 

Roders that looks absolutely amazing. :gnthb:
Lucky you, what a fantastic place to stay. Suffolk isn't bad either! :lollol:

Enjoy your meetings everyone. They can be great fun can't they? :gnthb:

 

Vicky, At 5"5 I will positively tower over you.:hehe:

 

Finally got my August Canada trip on You Tube. Not to many shots, as you can see I liked the flowers, what there were anyway.
The size of the world up there ---pictures don't do it justice.

 

All your holidays sound wonderful. A little envy of those already on the other side of the pond, closer to more historic places etc. Have a great time all, and be safe.

 

Lovely to read all about your excursions they all sound great, Lovely having family in other parts of the world shiney
We have been a couple of times to Menorca Periwink, A place called Son Parc was one of them, quiet but lovely,
We have just got back from Cala Millor in Majorca we went in April/May and the wife loved it that much we went again a couple of weeks ago

 

redstar lovely pics of canada loved that cottage on the lake very nice thanks for sharing,

as most of you will know we have just been to Alayna in turkey, we have decided to take a trip somewere in the summer and we go to thailand every year normally we go over xmas but this year we cant go due to hubby having to work so we were thinking maybe go in march see how things go, when hubby retires maybe in around 4 years time he wants to go to thailand 6 months of the year over the winter period and spend summers back home.
my friend has a cottage in france so im considering going over with her around april time for 2 weeks we shall visit her family in essex then go to southampton to catch the ferry will look forward to going she said i will love it plenty of markets.
