mcsilks Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 A working holiday over Canada and the US for 6 weeks in July and August followed by a two-week trip to Europe (Germany, Spain and the UK) sometime in September. All without the wife and kids as I have business to attend to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Ram Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Very Jealous. Have been to the Maldives 4 times and would love to go back. Best chillout holidays in the world.Never been, what do you recommend while I am there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Never been, what do you recommend while I am there?The facilities vary from island to island but they all obviously have good water sport facilities. Personally I was happy just jumping into the sea from the water bungalow and swimming around with the rays and reef sharks. I went to 2 islands (twice each) and they were both what they call "no news, no shoes" resorts, where you could easily avoid the real world if you wanted to and they were very laid back and pretty much horizontal-relaxed and informal.The beaches, warm water and tropical fish are just fantastic, though I did nearly sh** myself when I turned round whilst snorkelling and a puffer fish inflated about 3 inches away from my mask. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Going to Florida for 2 weeks late September to stay with the in-laws who live in Ponte Vedra Beach, near Jacksonville. They're insisting on taking my daughter to Disney but she'll only be 3 at Christmas.I think this is too young but they're insistent on going (an paying for it). Having never been myself before it's just a gut feeling. She'll just come back even more Frozen fixated than she already is.Great age to go, any older and you have to go in school holidays. We are off again next year, first time in school hols :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Santa Ponsa, Majorca for a week from 10th June. It's before pre-season and I get back the day the fixtures come out (not planned) so I won't have to spend a penny on roaming charges or €2 per half an hour of Internet.
