Without any prompting and still up 18 hours straight after three pints in the wethers as a livener
So chaps and chappesses where you booked? Where you want to go? where do you recommmend??
 
Booked so far...Fuerteventura in May, Alcudia Majorca in the summer and a mini cruise to Holland from Southampton at the end of the year.
Sorry about the carbon footprint but I work hard and I like my holidays. So sod it, forget the apology!

Went to Orlando last year and going back except we are in a villa instead of hotel. Missing Disney out this time though, doing universal, space Kennedy, busch gardens, discovery cove, seaworld, gatorland ect but also hoping to have a few spare days and a lot more drinking nights around the pool.

Lots of years ago, so might be different now, but we went gator ‘hunting’ there once.
For hunting read ‘finding and watching’
It was scary as ****. Whizzing around the Everglades on an ancient airboat which was basically a tea tray with a big fan on the back. Came properly up close and personal with massive gators in the wild (and in the dark) close enough to touch and they even brought a baby one onboard (about three/four foot long)
Certainly made for some great reminiscing over the years
 
Austria in March snowboarding
Possible trip to Spain with Fer Ark in April, but struggling to get time off work unfortunately.
Amsterdam in May
Germany, possibly twice, in June (sort of working...a bit)
After that we’ve not booked. Considering a twin centre Memphis/New Orleans trip so open to suggestions of time of year, companies to use or whether to do organised tours if anyone has them? (I know what I want to do, just not decided when and whether to go it alone or not).
Weekend away with Askew and the ladies later in the year but not sorted yet.

Just realised it’s not looking very ‘beach holiday’ this year, which is the norm to be honest.

I could imagine Dennis, some right big ones out there, I remember us going around 15 years ago and on the local news a man got a car punture, he was parked up next to a lake changing the tyre with his back to the water when a croc came out grabbed him and took him off. That was the end for the poor bloke. Mind you it came in handy last year we were on the Disney mini golf and my daughter was beating me, whilst she was having her next go i was looking over the fence and noticed a croc rise up so I could just see his eyes, I showed her and from them on she was a nervous wreck has i putted to victory.

Psychological warfare. Excellent <ok>
 
The COVID 19 Virus will decimate the travel industry this year.

Do it now...while you can.
