    Currently nearly halfway through a Med cruise. So far left Southampton last Saturday and been to Lisbon, Cadiz, Casablanca. Sea day today then Lanzarote in the morning, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Madeira and Vigo and back to Southampton next Saturday to complete the cruise. Just in time for Cardiff at home. Back 4 weeks then San Francisco for 5 days late October.

    Off to Tenerife next week. 11 nights of over indulging in both food n drink. Especially the latter.
    Unless I am doing an impression of a Border Collie and crawling home its been a poor night as far as I am concerned.

    Never done a cruise, but it does seem like a good option when I've browsed some. Is it full of pensioners? Pros/Cons ?
    I was in Bahamas few years ago (not worth the the money), Paradise Island / Nassau. The place was literally dead apart from when a cruise ship turned up for a few hrs.

    If you've not been before Chitchen Itza is well worth the drive. Get there early though, the number of people coming in as we were leaving was crazy. Take your own shade as well.

    It's hard work doing the parks. I was doing 25k steps a day every day for a fortnight.

    Doing the west coast for my 50th next year. San Francisco, Yosemite, LA, Vegas.

    Just stopped raining after 36 hours.
    Who said holidaying in the west of Scotland was a good idea?

    It is hard graft and for all the easy fast food over there I lost half a stone the first time I went. Yes you definitely cover some steps. I used the water park days as my rest days :emoticon-0100-smile.

    Sounds like a cracker for next year. Hope its fab.
