Florida for us this year :cool: We are going in August as we are governed by the school holidays. Stopping in a villa and are going with our friends and their 2 children. I'm looking forward to it now :D

Car and ferry to The Gironde (half way down France on the left hand side!) Still deciding whether to take the drop top and pose whilst journeying or to take the company car and load it up with cheap wine on the way back!
One hotel stop on the way down and a couple of days in the Loire on the way back. One week in a seaside cottage at a smallish resort we went 2 or 3 times with the children in tent/bucket& spade holidays. It will be nice to go there again and see it from an adult perspective. (who was it said 'never go back'?)
Cottage booked, ferry booked, house-sitter booked. Still finalising the hotels (some don't re-open till 1 March)

Nothing planned at all yet. We hope to be getting a puppy in the late summer/autumn, after my retirement, so until I know that the mum dog is in season I can't book anything.

ooooo, exciting!
Better start a new thread please - what breed, what sex, what will its name be?

We booked last year. We are going to a very 'dog friendly' cottage in the lakes in July. It is so popular you have to book early!! I think the doggie guests are more important than the humans, as they have a bowl of water ready for their arrival, throws for the sofa so they can sit on them, their own private wood with agility course, and holiday tags for their collars!! Great place!

Sounds fantastic Kim X Very well planned dm.

I have booked a long girly weekend to Feungirola (1st one in 14 years), in May, going to book Mykonos for OH and me in September asap and we are looking to go back to Belfast for the weekend in July (both of our birthdays)

I am afraid we don't go away - it would be too unsettling for 86 year old MIL with dementia. We will try to get some nice days out, picnics and such.

That's understandable Jac :( It's nice to be able to treat Ceilidh though isn't it? My OH doesn't 'do' holidays - thinks they are a waste of time . . . great eh? Wierdo :shock:

I think I will have a quiet word with my friend who lives in Hove and see if she'll let me stay in her place for a week with the boys.
