Mine's called Retired - still got all my health, and some wealth (!!) and fit enough to travel and visit the world. My philosophy now is - Enjoy life while you can because you are dead a long time!!!

ColonelBlimp Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Cancelled my September trip to Corfu, we both thought about it and realised we're not resort people, never have been. Booked a week on a campsite in the Loire instead, 6 weeks after 10 days at Lake Annecy, also on a campsite. Mucker1884 and Tamworthram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Cyprus for 2 weeks from next Wednesday. Just got my main stressful work deadline completed this morning - 2 days early, so have a few days to tie up other loose ends and then BRING IT ON!. Over 3 years since our last holiday (apart from camping weekends) and this one re-scheduled from March due to my daughter catching Covid. Can't. Bloody. Wait.

I'm sure it does and i'm sure it's lovely. It's just what we booked, well, we both weren't feeling the love so we changed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been before, but heard it's very nice. Anyone have any recommendations besides the Roman baths? If you can get to a rugby match at the recreation ground they're always good for a laugh and some beers.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our first overseas holiday since Covid, my mum passing away and my wife’s cancer diagnosis.

It's such a perfect picture you paint, not of Cleethorpes necessarily, but of England as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Cyprus, it's so instantly familiar yet completely alien when you scratch under the surface. Fantastic hospitality, compact enough to explore yet large enough to escape the crowds, and so can cater for every visitor. My wife cries every time we set foot there, she feels like she's coming home somehow! We even renewed our vows on our 10th Anniversary in Ayia Napa monastery, and a few days later were clubbing a few metres away.

Although this year was supposed to be a "big" Mexico holiday to celebrate our 10th anniversary, Cyprus was always somewhere we wanted to go. Me because I'd previously had 2 lovely holidays there and Mrs Wolfie because she was stationed there for 2 years in the army. I don't know whether it's what normally happens or I was just lucky but I remember the most amazing sunsets I've ever seen were in Cyprus. On both of my previous visits IIRC.
