Yes, but does that beat a nice cup of tea in your favourite chair at home
One of the best bits of any holiday is the first cuppa on getting home...
Holidays abroad waste of money or essential getaway

Venice was nice to see but I wouldn't rush back.
I'm into quieter Italian towns having been to Treviso and really enjoying it.

I'd definitely say at least one holiday abroad each year is essential.
What I don't get is caravan holidays in places like Skegness.
After you've spent the day doing god knows what & surrounded by scrubbers & chavs,you all go back to the luxury of the caravan.
Sod that.

We did consider doing a 14 nights there by driving it, with a 1 night stay in France on the way there and back (16 nights in total).
We did Normandy as a taster, for long drives, so wont rule it out.
Whose car we going in?I'm sure there is a short cut by Crans-sur-siere golf club.......
We are looking for a short 4 night break in Verona for this year, but the Easyjet/Ryanair flights mainly go to other cities about 2 hours away such as Venice/Milan/bergamo etc, although we have no problem jumping on a train.
Gelateria Ponte Pietra, Verona, for the best Gelato, seriously.

We were in Rome when the Pope had just died, we saw him laying in state and left on the day of the funeral having rented an apartment very close to the Vatican wall - you cant do that in Llandudno !

I have to admit to doing an awful deed
My BIL is a funeral director and i photoshop'd his company phone number on the sole of the Pope's shoes and his company name round his mitre - sorry to offend anyone!

I booked a direct return flight to California yesterday for this October half term and the price per person (although before tax) was £128 each. And even after tax and cashing in a few Avios points it cost me just over £900 for 3 of us. Which I know is a lot of money, but also it is great value to get tot he other side of the US I thought.

You'll wind up getting a visit from the Spanish Inquisition. And nobody will have been expecting that.

And I can imagine you can see them laying in a state there as well, as you can in all British and Majorcan holiday towns, no doubt.😀

Been self employed forever, work hard and simply accept that holidays cost money and in my situ lost income to boot.We go at least once a year somewhere and apart from the fun,see it as essential part of our two sons "life" education. I could stay at home and save a few quid or I could stand in the bowels of the Colosseum with my family in awe,no contest!! Just hope that the pizza and coffee is decent,roll on July!!!
