Even I've been to Italy too, about four years ago. I actually stayed in Pescara for two weeks and worst of at all it was November and I remember myself freezing to death!

My all time favourite holiday destination is Disneyland!! :D I've been twice now - both times with my family - and we had the most wonderful time ever. Smiles all round!!

I also love Vanuatu - I went there for a week with my family and two of my cousins. We all had a great time, relaxing on the beaches (normally I'm not a beach person - but the beaches were stunning), canoeing and snorkelling. Everything is very relaxed in Vanuatu and the weather is lovely and so are the natives. You feel very welcome all the time!

Like others, I think Germany is wonderful for a city break, and I love to visit Italy and France. Also - the Isle of Skye, Amsterdam, Barcelona out of season, and there are some really fascinating areas of Eastern Europe too.

We drank Palmers IPA by night in a variety of lovely little village pubs......You don't have to travel across the globe to have the best times of your life!
That sounds like my kinda holiday, Viv. You are so right...the best holidays i have had have been in good old Blighty. Palmers IPA, the sadly missed Huntsman IPA and Royal Oak, Badger Golden Glory,....aah, that's holidaying.

I'm currently going through an Australia phase. It just fascinates me that this vast country with relatively few people has this huge wilderness of rugged scenery and amazing wildlife. To drive through the Australian Outback - it'd be terrifying but I'd love to do it anyway!

Um..Um.. :idea: :mrgreen: Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily). The area of Sardinia is 24 090 square kilometers. The island lies between Italy, Spain, and Tunisia, south of Corsica; it is one of the autonomous regions with special statute under the Italian Constitution.-

Um..Um... :idea: :mrgreen: Sicily is directly adjacent to the region of Calabria via the Strait of Messina to the east. The early Roman name for Sicily was Trinacria, alluding to its triangular shape.-

I think I will see and do all there is to do in the capital of Italy.
Maybe I will eat a sardine, in honer of Sardinia, or on my way to visiting it. :lol:

Thanks Peppermint Peppy! Yeah - the expression is right "Ahlan w Sahlan" means
"welcome" in my language :D

Well, it was deathly cold (according to me anyways!). I had never been to a European country before. I remember just sitting in our hotel room, in front of the fireplace. Although, our room had a heating system, I still felt that it was cold!

Sounds good Nigel but more like a pub crawl than a holiday. :D

What I also like most in my holidays is to stay at a nice big bonfire by night.

One is spoilt for choice. I would recommend the Isle of Purbeck and of course the New Forest. Slightly further afield is Alderney, a British Crown Dependency just off the coast of France which is worth it just for the flight, a rather scary approach over the cliffs. Home to Wombles author Elizabeth Beresford, the island is idylic to look at but come nightfall some heavy drinking takes place!
