Holiday countdown

Thats really nice. My mums never left the Uk and hasnt been anywhere since her HM in 1964..... I could never take her away anywhere though, she'd complain/panic.

we are away soon for our holiday too, Im not feeling that excited about it though, only going coz hubbys desp for a break... need to find a suitcase etc..

Where are you going, teehee?

Wow - I find it amazing when I hear about people not going abroad. I know it's far less common now but visiting other places is AMAZING.

Ahh that is lovely .. I am jealous, I want to go on holiday next week rather than spend the week at home lol (am off work for a week for my birthday)

I call my mum Judith cos she has about 4 hols a year, I think we average a trip abroad every other year

We're off to Pernera near Protaras. Not too lively but lots of sun and cocktails!

Sorry to derail the thread slightly but

Trickers - i've stayed at the Elysium and it is fantastic. You'll have a great time. The thing I loved most was the Molton Brown toiletries! Lovely. Have fun.

Have an amazing time!!

We are all going back to Cyprus this year again, have hired a villa again... Only 10 weeks to go... Not that I am counting or anything

We too are going to Pernera!!!!

Enjoy

Thats what i got called last year cause i went on loads of holidays in 15 months - Oct 08 Disneyland Paris for a week, Feb 09 New York for a week, March 09 Lanzarote for a week, June 09 Majorca for a week, Nov 09 Disneyland Paris for 4 days and then Dec09/Jan10 Singapore for 4 nights and Australia for 5 weeks.

Makes me feel sad now though cause they keep asking me where is my next holiday and i won't be having one until my honeymooon! But was a great year last year

Thanks, Debbie!

Is there anywhere in Cyprus you'd recommend? It's my first trip there.

P.S. I spent a good hour over the weekend drooling at your headbands and tiaras. They're beautiful.

I love cyprus & could quite happliy spend the rest of my days there...lol

I hope that you like hot weather because now is the hottest time of the year, it can get unbearable even at night time. We once went in July & it got to 43 during the day & only cooled down to 36 degrees at night.

I am very lucky & go a really dark brown in the sun without too much effort (hate sunbathing as I'm way too nosey to lay on a sunbed, I like to see whats going on around me..he..he..he) I dont mind the heat too much but it got too much even for me when we went one year in July..

We go in Ocotber now, its so much quieter & still around 30 degrees.. perfect for a nice relaxing holiday.

If you are staying in Pernera, the Knights Pub on the main street is nice for meals, plus there is the Blue Spice restr thats good food & sizzlers steak house along the road going down to the little beach at pernera is nice too, especially the greek food they do.

Pernera is a nice litle resort but just up the road you have protaras if you want a bit more of a livelier night out, thats a long strip of bars/clubs/restraurants...

The little cove in Pernera is lovely, fab for diving & there is a diving school on the right hand side as you look out to sea, if you get a chance to go diving I would say go, its amazing as the sea is so clear.

For a bigger beach, you have Fig Tree Bay in Protaras, gorgeous sand & clear blue water (which will be warm too) There is a walkway along the beach front, so that you can walk from Pernera to Protaras, takes about 10/15mins

Just on the Main Protaras road you have the "church on the hill" blooming loads of steps to climb but views along the coast are great, though it seems to get more built up each year we go, loads of villa's being built now.

If you are hiring a car, then I would deffo do a trip in Aiya Napa (not half as mad as people make out, though it maybe at this time of year - my sister inlaw & mates have just landed there & I doubt they will have gone to napa for the scenery - she is only 21)

Nissi Beach in Aiya Napa is GORGEOUS!!! White sands & turquoise water, you can paddle out for ages before it drops off deeper.

Also would deffo recommend a boat trip from Aiya Napa harbour, one that takes a few hours & goes along the coast towards Famagusta (the ghost town on the turkish side) You get the chance to get off & have a swim in some little coves along the way & we even saw flying fish on our last boat trip in October.

If you need any more info, send me an email to: ***************@***.***

I dont want to fill all the pages with my love of Cyprus, I could also send you some pics if you like. We have been going to Cyprus on & off for about 10 years & have noticed it gets more expensive each time we go & as the Euro is quite low, you dont get much for your money but its never put us off going again & again.

Hope that helps, feel free to get in touch if you want any more info )

(PS) thanks for the comments about the my tiaras/headbands... I have just reduced them today..... BARGAINS to be had!!

Debbie, you are an absolute angel, thank you so much. What a fabulous woman.

A couple of pics from our time there last October.

Aww, it's so nice that you're taking your Ma away ? It sounds fabulous!

Have a fantastic holiday.

I got back a week ago from spending 2 days in Madrid and 4 days in Barcelona with my daughter for her 21st Birthday present.

I am excited as taking my son to Ghana in 3 weeks for his entrance to college, his GCSE's and for his 17th Birthday.

Love holidays, its the only reason i work - except to pay the bills ☹️

(sings) I was onllllyyyyyyy 24 hrs from Dublinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn......

gotta go get me euros!! and a padlock, oh and a new belt coz my jeans keep faliing down and a travel hair dryer coz the hotel dont have one.........

Wowsers! I need to book some more hols!!!

Have a brilliant time CB - OH's brother got married in Pernera. Lovely beaches etc. If you get chance and it's your sort of thing, there are trips organised to the north of the island where you can see the ghost town famagusta from the turkish occupation - it's really interesting.

Have a lovely time!! I went away to Spain with my MIL in May and it was great, we had a lovely time and she really enjoyed it as she doesn't usually get to go abroad cause FIL doesn't like flying. Jxx

Lol, it was just one of those years last year when we realised we wouldnt be able to go on many holidays so we just went on loads. We were lucky to have Australia paid for us by my father. The others, apart from New York were really cheapy ones but some of the best holidays i have been on. Now looking back, i wish i hadnt of spent as much money that i did on holidays as i could have used the money for my honeymoon which i can no longer have
