So where's everyone planning on going this year? It's miserable outside and we can't afford a holiday this year so feel free to make me jealous with all your holiday plans!

    We haven't anything planned either..we're hoping to buy a house this year so money would be a bit tight, but might stretch to a last minute deal if were lucky...

    Would love to go to a greek island, private pool, lovely villa, tavernas etc..ho hum!

    Nothing flash for us this year - something big to save for lol. Caravan to Snowdonia on a few occasions and then going to Bulgaria in August for 10 days to see a friend who moved there a year ago - so only flights and car hire to pay for Smiley smile Win Smiley smile

    Ah, I have nothing to make anyone jealous of Smiley smile I've pretty much never been on a holiday - I went to Cornwall with my parents when I was 15, that's about it. Just never been bothered about it - not sure why. I'm always broke and I guess what money I do have I'd rather spend on clothes, makeup and overpriced coffee.

    Well I had 2 weeks in cuba in March, it was lush!

    Now not got hardly any holiday left to take so we're having a night in London for our anniversary and a long weekend in Edinburgh for the fringe.

    Not sure where else we'll squeeze in!

    Nothing to be jealous of here. We're having a long weekend at a Haven site, for our sons 3rd Birthday. It's actually our first holiday together though, and I do love the cheesiness of Haven.

    We can't do beach holidays, as my H only has to look at the sun, and he burns. The type of holidays we'd like to do, would bore the kids, so Haven it is.

    I have was holiday in Snowdonia earlier this month. Looking forward (kind of) to going to Scotland in August. the (kind of) is because it will be myself my H and my parents going and my parents can be quite hard work sometimes. All U.K holidays this year I think in an effort to save money, although we are hoping to have a short break in Hungary to see some friends get married.

    Lanzarote is so beautiful! I've been there 4 years ago, but looking at the pictures it still feels like yesterday! Have a great time!

    Well jel! Absolutely loved it on our honeymoon. Although we haven't been back it's the only place we said we would, if that makes sense

    Probably nothing much for us this year ☹️ Did San Fran, Vegas, Yosemite & Grand Canyon last year for honeymoon, and Orlando the year before, but this year, what with trying to save for a house, me working a self employed contract (so no holiday pay) and H getting over his illness, I think it'll just be the odd weekend break!

    We have a big one this year. H is South African and we are going to drive from SA into Namiba and explore as much as we can of the country in 5 weeks. There are some amazing sights to see and it is a true wilderness with special desert elephants and rhino and some very dramatic landscapes. The downside is, as it is so remote we have to camp and there will be no ablution facilities guaranteed which i am not overwhelmed about. It will be a huge adventure though and bearing in mind I haven't had a holiday since our honeymoon 3 years ago, I can't wait!

    Santorini looks gorgeous!

    Well, we had our lovely honeymoon in Mauritius in March and OH is being made redundant at end of June so doubt we'll go anywhere!

    Hopefully will visit my uncle in Portugal if we can OH gets a job quickly, we have airmiles so only need to pay taxes and cheap apartment hire.

    I am a big fan of holidays and normally go on about 3 abroad ones a year but this year is a bit different as I am having to travel to India for work, spent 3 weeks there in January and will be going back for 4 weeks in July so holidays have been postponed as I didnt know the dates I would be travelling, although I did spend 4 days in Dubai on the way home in January.

    So we have booked some time off in October and are hoping to go to Singapore and Bali for 10 nights but going to book it last minute in case I have to jet off for work again at short notice.

    We have got 4 nights booked in Iceland in January though and I am planning to go to Florida in august next year with my family and the South of France in April/May time with friends.

    Nowhere, not even anywhere here. Smiley sad

    we knew our honeymoon to Mexico last year would be the last big one for a few years, but it still sucks. We did go to Portugal over Easter as OH's parents have an apartment over there. But from now until god knows when we have no plans :'(

    Rod that looks amazing and ATB - I'm so jealous of Jamaica. We went to a wedding there a few years ago and it was absolutely amazing!

    We're going for a week in Menorca in September. Just a bog standard package holiday but wanted somewhere within a short flying and transfer distance for our first holiday with S.

    We also have weddings in London and Chester over the next few weeks so are making weekends of those too.

    Oh lordy if only - the OH doesn't really get to take time off as he's sole salesman in his company (if he doesn't work, no-one gets paid) but I'm hoping the honeymoon in 2015 will make up for it!

    We did manage a lovely, if damp, break in the Lake District last autumn though, staying in a fantastic hotel called Lindeth Howe - thanks to a deal we even got afternoon tea with fizz on arrival, and the food's to die for. Highly recommend it, esp with that dinner and tea deal!

    We have no plans for this year so will probably be doing the staycation thing!

    Rod - Whereabouts are you going in Santorini? I don't know if you remember but we went to Imerovigli on our honeymoon in September and absolutely loved it. We only left the village twice, which is pretty lazy, but I couldn't tear myself away from the hotel!!

    We had plans of a cheap and cheerful week in Greece but after the recent events with the parents we now have no money at all so it's on hold.

    We are aiming to go snowboarding in February next year and then Vietnam in March time....I still not sure how we are supposed to afford this.
