It's cold and being an addick can be hard work, so I thought I'd start a nice summer thread.

Where's everyone off to?

I am fortunate enough to be going to Tuscany (really looking forward to that) and Cuba (although we are other end from Havana (the missus picked the hotel).

The thing to Italy was last minute meaning our cottage by the sea in Happisburgh Norfolk is now available at Whitsun week, a couple of weeks left in July/August too - message me if interested, will offer Lifer discount.

Any tips on Tuscany or Cuba most welcome.

    Your cottage is looking good @razil. I remember all the aggro you were having buying it! Bet it all seems worthwhile now. I'm loving the Charlton-themed fridge/freezer BTW!

    If anyone is interested I have a mate with a lovely one bedroom apartment in central Albufeira with a spectacular ocean view available June, July and August all bar one week in each month. There's a sofa bed that would suit one adult or two kids too.

    No holiday planned myself though.

    Unfortunately as you may not be aware, when you have young kids you have 4 weeks of work and 48 weeks of holiday rather than the other way around.

    Not been there for a few years now but always found Menorca to be ideal for young kids.

    Looks perfect Mrs. B!! I use ownersdirect and HomeAway quite a lot and never been disappointed. May have a bit of this myself in the future.

    Skiathos this year for the 3rd year on the bounce. Discovered it in 2015 and although I never usually go back to the same place, this island is like a magnet. It's incredible.

    HomeAway owns ownersdirect (along with a whole list of other trading names) and have done for 10 years. In itself HomeAway is owned by Expedia. Expedia also owns over two hundred other web booking sites including, carrentals.com, ebookers, hotels.com, Trivago, Travelocity and Orbitz!
    Trivago markets itself as "the world's top hotel price comparison site". Makes you wonder doesn't it? It might be that there's just the one computer server out there giving us all those prices! Or perhaps it's all just Thomas Driesen, in his bedroom on a laptop.....

    Yes it's a great place to stay and the location in Ocean Village is just about the best on the rock. The pool on the top deck could be bigger though!!

    Out there in a few weeks on business but will mix a bit of pleasure while I'm there.

    Woolacombe in N Devon for a week in late July with the 3 tin lids. Hope the weather is good so they can spend a week on the beach & not in the Amusement Arcade

    Going on a Eurocamp holiday south of Salou, Spain. Really looking forward to spending quality family time with Mrs justin20474 and the kids (daughter 20, son 17) as its sad to think that this will probably be our last family holiday together :(.
