    Mexican restaurant, cheap. .now your talking as for the other have the kids with us so maybe not :-)

    There's a small and relatively cheap (if I remember rightly) Toy Museum up in the Castle Grounds, depending on the age of the kids, they might find it enjoyable (well as bout as enjoyable as any kid will find a Museum enjoyable). I don't have kids myself but I thought it was cool. It's small enough not to get too bored too quickly.

    I have been to Prague a few times and I love it, you'll have a great time no matter what you do.

    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.

    ah your sarcasm detector needs a transplant, updating to be installed

    I am a very easy going, passive person but that 'well for some' crap is so confusingly dumb, sad and pathetic it almost makes my blood boil when I hear it. Then I remember I'm glad I'm not any person who has ever said it seriously.

    I just booked my flights to the Middle East. I'll be staying in Jerusalem and the West Bank. Falafels, sun, camels, the Dead Sea and political conflict. Everything you want out of a holiday.

    And extraordinarily moving it is, too. They show you a documentary on the coach first of all, which is harrowing enough.

    Im hoping to go to England next week for some interviews. Im hoping that all the travel and they might give me a job. That will be my holiday. I've never been to England, actually i've never been on a plane so im kind of looking forward to it.

    And if I dont get a job, im not wasting more money on more interviews in England. If I dont get offered a job, il be going to Australia for a year around September or October.

    That seems worryingly cheap for crossing a large ocean in a metal tube. :-/

    Unless he/she means 220e per person one way? Would still be quite cheap though. I paid 1,300e for the two of us,m return ticket to Bridgetown

    I'd recommend Gozo to anyone going to Malta - interesting place which also wants to be independent!

    I've a week booked off in the middle of July, we'll book something last minute, it's actually quite fun filling out the online forms and setting the destination drop down menu to "I don't mind". We're on a tight budget and we'll be flying from here (england) so I can only imagine how much I'm going to hate my fellow travellers. . .feck it, it's a week of sun!
