trekkie_ram Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Bangkok is a s**thole. We went for 3 nights there (Hilton), and then 9 nights in Koh Chang (Amari Emerald), for our expensive goodbye to childless marriage holiday. Can't wait for the kids to grow up so I can start to go on decent holidays again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'm thinking of making a return to England next Christmas with the missus so she can experience cold weather and hopefully a white christmas If not then we'll probably head up to Alaska for a week either Autumn 2012 or Spring 2013 to catch the Northern Lights as I missed that trip when I was in Canada due to breaking my ankle If all fails here I'll probably go experience Columbia for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsilks Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Am off to Okinawa for a few days over Christmas. Okinawa is the most Southerly Japanese island. Spending 2 weeks in Malaysia at the end of March. Off to the North Island of New Zealand in April for work/holiday (wish it was the South Island) And 7 weeks in Canada (Edmonton) in July and August again for part work, part holiday. So a pretty busy 6 months travel wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a pretty busy 6 months travel wise. (NZ) The South Island for me is definately the best of the two.. Although both decent. Some beautful scenery and coves in the South Island too (Edmonton) Good luck with that, a city of not much. Good job your going in Summer as Winter is freezing cold (-30 normally). But it does have the biggest mall in the world and the trip down to Calgary is stunning.. What do you do for work which takes you to these places if you don't mind me asking? Professional gambling? Haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha! I have my own school here in Japan and we have a number of University students. I have built up some relationships with schools in NZ, Singapore, the UK, Canada, Australia and the US and I send some of my students to these countries to study abroad in a kind of culture swap. I travel over there with them and am there should they have any issues. It's a perk really. Gives me a chance to see some places I haven't been to before.

ladyram Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Blimey, all these places sound very exotic. The furthest we'll be going to is Bracing Barnsley to see family. Hope ya's all have a fab time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 im not bothered about holidays,the food is often crap in the all inclusive places,and the places are generally full of ********* ,normally from the liverpool and london area,who seem to think they have the resort to themselves. I also dont like flying. Having said that I would like to take my son to Barcelona to watch a match. I would rather have a week off work for fishing or to go horse racing. as for August Trig I will have a few beers with you,definately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake n Bake Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Got back from Gran canaria with my girlfriend about 10 days ago, the weathers great at this time of year. Went self catering and took £700 between us for the week and ended up eating at good restaurants every night. Went on a few days out including the waterpark. In all cost us about 1200 for a fantastic week away. Anyone looking for some winter son I would definitely recommend the canaries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
