So is anyone going on holiday this year and is so where to?

I was at the hairdressers on Friday and the inevitable 'are you going anywhere nice on holidays?' question came up. This year we're off to Dublin for the weekend in November to see Depeche Mode, but thats more of a birthday present for Mr P than a holiday. Still it's an improvement on last years holiday, which was a night in Galway:( Bloody useless bloody economy, mutter, mutter, lack of funds.

We're saving for a holiday in Rome next April to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary though:)

Haven't been on holiday since 2007.

I'm going to plan something super super awesome for next year though.

My parents told me I was going to "a farm in the country."

So psyched for it.

I'm saving to leave Ireland for ever within the next 10 months.

Moving to London in 2 weeks, will probably grab a sneaky late season week away somewhere hot and sunny too.

We put away a few euro each week and are away to France during the summer. Can't come soon enough!

For the first time in about 3 years we are getting to Prague. 4 nights 5 days. 3* hotel with breakfast for 205 each. Food and drink supposed to be cheap so happy days.

PizzamanIRL · 18-06-2013 01:17PM

I'm going to Sierra Leone on a paid internship for a month to mine diamonds.

Was in Mallorca 3 weeks ago. Going that early in the summer meant it was nice and quiet (we have a 2 and a half year old) but the weather could have been better. Off to Paris in September.

bbam · 18-06-2013 01:22PM

I feckin hate people who begrudge it when your going away.
My sister and her husband drink 3 nights every weekend, he smokes 30-40 a day and she is always in the gym.
And yet I get the usual "isn't it well for some" ****e when they hear we're going away.

America for three weeks in August - Hawaii, Vegas, Chicago and New York.

Was home for six weeks at Christmas so the combination of the two has cleaned me out but ah well!

Nemeses · 18-06-2013 01:25PM

Driving to the UK for a week, Heading to a festival - Thats my hol! Hopefully the weather will be nice there next month.

iDave · 18-06-2013 01:25PM

Little Mexican restaurant off Wencelas Square (near a sex show place, of course), you can't miss it. Amazing food, huge portions, one of the cheapest eateries (including the beer) in the city.

Then you can nip across the road for some "entertainment", but I wouldn't know about that kinda thing.

Unfortunately, generally Prague is not as cheap as it once was and you have to look around to get particularly cheap deals. Back in the day, you couldn't spend your money in it

kingcobra · 18-06-2013 01:28PM

I'm off to Santa Ponsa in two weeks

Take your snorkel and mask, superb waters.

Was in California earlier in the year. Nothing major planned the rest of the year - may take a week and explore Ireland a bit. Or maybe get the ferry over to England and see what the lake district is like.

I'm heading to Tenerife tomorrow, should be good.

juicyduckie · 18-06-2013 01:30PM

Have booked 3 weeks off work in August but have no idea if I'll even make it out of Ireland - would love to head to a house in the south of France, will probably end up in a 2* hotel in Magaluf....or Electric Picnic in Stradbally will be my holiday, who even knows. :pac:
