Where Are You Off To On Holidays This Year?

The Backwards Man · 27-01-2016 11:51PM #1

I cut my own hair so never get a chance to answer this in the haircut shop.

I'm going to Jersey in February (meant to book Jersey City but too much Tennent's

), somewhere in mid Europe in May, haven't decided yet, and Vegas in November.

Where are you off to? And if you're staycationing, what other questions that that the haircutter asks would you like to share here?

Don't know. Nothing booked. Went on a few holidays last year (5

) so might try save a bit instead of spending too much money on holidays. A good friend of mine is getting married in Sri Lanka in December, which I would love to go to! Don't think I'll be able to get the time off work though.

I'm going to New York in May

Noodles81 · 27-01-2016 11:56PM

My back garden...if I'm lucky.

Charlie19 · 27-01-2016 11:56PM

Is sunshine house still open.

Amirani · 27-01-2016 11:56PM

Skiing in France in February, UK in March, Denmark in April. Haven't booked any proper holidays yet though, I'm thinking Australia later in the year to visit a friend I have living out there. Failing that, might meet them in Indonesia or something.

Vegas for a working holiday yet again!

Have you ever been there? I've never met anyone who's been to Sri Lanka. It's the Leitrim of the subcontinent isn't it?

Somewhere within 2 hours of home. Prob West Cork. Maybe weekend or two in England.

ubermick · 27-01-2016 11:59PM

Cork.

And unlike the rest of ye, it'll cost me pushing five grand to do it with the airfare and house rental. Feckin airlines and their taxes...

Vegas must be the worst place to go visit for work isn't it? Was chatting up this young wan that works for Allegiant the last time I was over, all going grand til she announced she had to go to bed. . .at 10pm

Nope. It seems to be an up and coming holiday destination though! I know two people that went there last year on their holidays :pac: I don't think I know anyone that's ever been to Leitrim.

I play poker to earn a few bob extra so that's why I called it a working holiday. It really is only a holiday :cool:

McChubbin · 28-01-2016 12:07AM

Nothing planned yet, though there's talk of a possible jaunt to New York in October provided my aunt ever gets around to renewing her damn passport. I'm not optimistic, though. Still, my summer is set- got Comic Con in August!

fleet_admiral · 28-01-2016 12:07AM

Heading to Blackpool in August with the wife and son. Was planning on New York too but I need to overcome my fear of flying first, seriously

Please do, I am saving my ass off!

bodhrandude · 28-01-2016 12:20AM

Just been myself, was nice to take a sunny break during festive season, 28th Dec to January 11th, started in Malaga onto Seville, Cordoba, Granada, Guadix, Granada and back to Malaga and for the last four days Marbella, San Pedro and Ojen Village on the Sunday. Gorgeous weather, food and drink and tobacco is cheaper and you can get absinthe at a reasonable price and good stuff too.

Those were the days! I'd love another go on the space roundup or the go carts. Then candy floss with added wasps for crunch factor and tears!

Spanish Eyes · 28-01-2016 01:03AM

Nothing booked yet but San Antonio and Austin Texas is on the list.

Granada and Cordoba

Bilbao and San Sebastian

And a talk with my overdraft manager!

Comhrá · 28-01-2016 01:09AM

I did those storm-chasing tours in the Mid-West US for about 7 years, but it eventually got too dangerous plus the 12 hrs. of flying to get to Oklahoma City and back was a killer.

Now, it's a week in the Canaries in April and again maybe September......sun, cheap liquor and food.

I've been there after uni for a couple of months for backpacking (without a backpack, hate those yokes).

And no, it's not the Leitrim of anything! It's a tiny paradise with loads of different cultures (and conflicts), different sceneries and climates and highly interesting history and people, if you bother to get to know them and don't stick with the European crowd and don't follow Lonely Planet. I've had one of the most interesting times of my life over there.

Otherwise I haven't been on holidays since 2005, but I live in a beautiful country where other people love to spend their holidays (Ireland) and end of this year I'm off my mortgage. After that the universe is the limit!

First weekend in February I'll go to Galway, kind of a "city break". Not exactly Sri Lanka but close, considering monsoon-like rain

pablo128 · 28-01-2016 01:28AM

Portugal somewhere in July for the family holiday, and Silverstone in the UK for the MotoGp in September with the lads.

whatismyname · 28-01-2016 01:30AM

No holiday plans yet.

Got my hair done today. The whole experience was sh1t for several reasons, not least being made wait half an hour past my appointment time.

Stylist seemed very disinterested generally. Was happy to not get questioned. But her attempt was a mediocre 'So, you up to anything later?' Me, 'not really, no, just the usual'. So that killed that conversation... Poor effort.

Calibos · 28-01-2016 02:03AM

January 2016 and I've already taken two 1 week holidays this...............Century

C.K Dexter Haven · 28-01-2016 02:05AM

Jamaica?

Witchie · 28-01-2016 03:08AM

Since my son is doing his leaving cert in June I won't be heading anywhere until after it and the Stone Roses and Pixies gigs. Nothing planned yet but if get my house sold, I might go exploring in Asia to check out places to move to next January, although it will probably be Japan.
