Do they “cop hold of him/her”?0 -
Not quite this year but I've just booked a week in Valencia for early February. Ties in with them being at home to Real Madrid so I'll pick up some tickets if I can0

We are at a Rockabilly weekender in Valencia 12th and 13th of December, as we don't fly home until the 15th hoping to go to Levante v Villareal on the 14th (if it's not moved for tele).OhMyGodden said:Not quite this year but I've just booked a week in Valencia for early February.

A good job I planned for the Play off final!Solidgone said:Its almost that time for planning your holidays for 2025.
Some of my trips have already been booked up the end of the Caribbean cruise but will finalise the extension on to South America next month. This will be my first time on a cruise and still apprehensive about doing this kind of travel but unless I try it I should not make a judgement. I’m also doing this cruise in order to do a recce on the islands just in case I want to return and do some island hopping and staying longer on the islands. Jamaica is still on my list of places to visit especially Montego Bay (probably because of the song and reggae) but I hear its too dangerous unless going to an all inclusive fenced in which is not my scene. Anyway, my rough itinerary for 2025 starts with:
* Early sun trip to Gran Canaria from 2 jan.✅
* Flight to Barbados for 3 nights before a 2 week Caribbean Cruise from 30 Jan. Whilst in this neck of the woods I’ll head to Colombia after the cruise (Bogota, Santa Marta, Barrenquilla) before heading to Santiago (Chile) and Easter Island, Peru, Bolivia and finish up with some real R&R in Rio de Janeiro before heading back to Blighty sometime at the end of March.✅
* Budapest (April or May)
* Play off Final 🤓✅
* Madrid (April or May)
* South of France (June)✅
* London for the summer (July, August, September)
* Spain (October)
Am enjoying London at the moment and have had to renew my passport 2 years early as I’ve used up all the pages.
My itinerary has slightly changed and Budapest has been moved.
Spain (near Valencia) all of October which will be interrupted for a few days returning to London for a wedding.
From Valencia to Barcelona at the end of October and then on to Rome to start a 9 day tour of Italy in November back to London and then Budapest.
That will be it for 2025 but already planning for 2026 😎

Enjoying a great 20 night cruise to about 15 ports up the whole length of NorwayNorway, been fabulous weather, a truly beautiful and scenic country, but I doubt if the weather we have encountered for the last two weeks will ever be repeated, temperatures most days in the range 20 to 28c, and not a single drop of rain, but been foggy some morning.6

Just had 4 days in Porto, what a beautiful city, absolutely loved it.5

I am currently in Georgia on my way to a small town called Jackson which is the real life Hawkins in Stranger Things.
The heat is something else. This is US state 30 for us on the 50 states challenge and after experiencing the Mojave in August I can honestly say this is the hottest. The humidity is. Killer and it’s nearly 100F before you even take into account the real feel.
The World Cup is going to be ridiculous out here next year. There are games in Atlanta and it’s going to be a struggle for our lot.0 -
Mate done a Fjord cruise....said it was miserable weather most of the time...mid June, very changeable weather up there.CharltonKerry said:Enjoying a great 20 night cruise to about 15 ports up the whole length of NorwayNorway, been fabulous weather, a truly beautiful and scenic country, but I doubt if the weather we have encountered for the last two weeks will ever be repeated, temperatures most days in the range 20 to 28c, and not a single drop of rain, but been foggy some morning.0 - Sponsored links:

Apparently they never had 2 weeks of continuous sunshine (day and night this time of year) like we have had (ok apart from 1 day when it was cloudy, windy and cold feel like temperature +1c). They have now issued a severe forest fire risk and all BBQ are banned. We expected and packed for weather similar to yours 😀,HastingsRed said:

I'm guessing if you've got 15 ports, you'll be going all the way up to the Northern Cape. I really fancy that as I've got seeing the midnight sun on my bucket list. I saw one of the companies had one that went around Iceland and across to Norway. Was thinking of that one but I believe the timings are just wrong for my stupid midnight sun requirement.CharltonKerry said:Enjoying a great 20 night cruise to about 15 ports up the whole length of NorwayNorway, been fabulous weather, a truly beautiful and scenic country, but I doubt if the weather we have encountered for the last two weeks will ever be repeated, temperatures most days in the range 20 to 28c, and not a single drop of rain, but been foggy some morning.0 -
Yes we went all the way to the north cape, it was the only day that was cold, cloudy and windy. We certainly saw the midnight sun for 6 nights so no sunsets. 30c and another absolutely beautiful day.1

Regent seven seas voyager. Regent has never spent so much time above the artic circle so it was an experimental cruise for them, it won’t be repeated for at least 4 years as far as I know. They will do shorter cruises to Norway. It is a 20 night cruise with something like 16 / 17 nights actually in Norway. I will warn you they a luxury 6* line, everything include including tours (you can pay more if you want for extra special tours), the only thing you have to pay for are casino, spa, and anything in the shops (which is dear).clb74 said:

Having an amazing time on the Croatian island of Korcula following a few days in my second home of Dubrovnik. Luka Modric, Mateo Kovacic and Novak Djokovic have all just arrived in town so will find it hard not to say hello if I see them around in this small but wonderful place.

The weather will be warm (and very hot in July-August) and you will have plenty of daytime sunlight to explore the island.
What we refer to as the “season” i.e. the time people are actually visiting Korcula Island, is from around Easter to late October. This period is split into a high, mid (shoulder) & low season.

Everything Princess Fiona has shared but I would add that in Southern Dalmatia (including Dubrovnik and the southern most islands) I find the humidity climbs in September as some rain arrives along with Sirocco, a southerly wind which passes through the Adriatic. It is not a holiday spoiler but is not as perfect weather wise as May to September. If you decide to holiday in Croatia please come back on the chat and tag me and I will provide some recommendations to ensure you have the most enjoyable experience possible.PrincessFiona said:valleynick66 said:

Bit further south but we had a bit of rain in both Kefalonia and Corfu....both times around mid Sept. On both occasions we had major storms though generally the weather was warm and sunny.Pavoren007 said:

Going NYC with the family tomorrow. Looks like it’s gonna be a scorcher which is a little annoying. Will be my first time back since just before Covid. Have heard mixed reports so will be interesting to see how it’s changed.2

Great city - grimy, dirty, lively, edgy, great sights, great food, great history.stop_shouting said:Going NYC with the family tomorrow. Looks like it’s gonna be a scorcher which is a little annoying.

The open druggies and the frequent smell of piss and weed are the only downsides.1 -
Heard the smell of weed was on another level but isn’t quite as bad of late. I was in Belfast at the weekend for the open and the amount of druggies, smell of piss and weed were a huge surprise to me. Belfast is still such a great city tho.SporadicAddick said:

Well the prices make even New Yorkers wince. Food and drink a lot more than London these days, which wasn't always the case. But still one of the great cities to visitSporadicAddick said:
