Off Topic Holidays

We have been watching Monty Don. Venice last week and tonight he is Croatia.
Ric mentioned Lanzarote in a post.

I loved Venice and adore Croatia. But my favourite holidays have been In Lanzarote. Not the best, but if I could, I would live in Playa Blanca.

This year for obvious reasons, I will now not be going abroad. My dive trip to Sweden will not be possible. Instead we are going as a family to Centre Parcs, staying in a four bedroom executive lodge.

We have stayed in some fantastic hotels and resorts.

So please indulge me with a bit of sunshine.

No showing off, just say where I should think about going.

 

Pancake House

 

Which one TOM? We recently went to Whinfell and had a great time.

 

I’m off to Strasbourg by train at February half term. QPR, Paris, Strasbourg, Paris, London, Peterborough. If that doesn’t get me omicron then I’m invincible for certain.

 

Longleat been before.

Anyhow mate how are you. I have missed our chats

 

I like Paris, prefer it to London.
Not been to Strasbourg though.

 

Puerto Portals is my little bit of heaven. The home port for my yacht. Been a frustrating 2 years, only managed 3 weeks on her since the various restrictions.
We still need to arrange a Not606 boat trip!!!

Strasbourgsreallynice got lots of restaurants near the waterside , they maybe crowded if the EU are in town for their once a month visit and jolly

 

I've been to Morocco couple of times for winter sunshine. Marrakesh for busy city life, Essaouira for more relaxed time and seaside.

 

Go everywhere.
If you get the chance, just go.
I'm trying to get to everywhere before I shuffle off.
Doing quite well so far.
Don't die wondering.

 

Enjoy city breaks more as I've aged and appreciate an art and culture fix, anyway managed to do Madrid and Barcelona in recent years, both well worth a few days and good options for an out of season break.

 

Thinking about Iceland. Are Dads allowed or is it just for Mums?

 

Would have normally jumped at the chance, could have taken you along the coast for some diving!

 

my wife & I have our padi certs & love warm water diving, can’t wait until our kids are old enough to try.
I know you have issues at home but if you want an escape,..the yacht is all yours x

 

It’ll be 3 years in May since our last holiday. Used to aim for 3 a year.

Same as TOM, it will have to be something within these shores this year, if we get away.

 

Just had a quick look on the link, looks beaut!

 

Florida is my vice... Orlando and Anna Maria Island

 

you & your family are very welcome to visit

 

Anna Maria is lovely.

 

I took another exam tonight, the study etc has helped take my mind off things a bit. Just a couple of dives to do plus a rescue management exercise. I will have to do a bit more walrus mating!

And yes, I may need an escape anytime soon... Thanks.
