Sun, Sea, Sand...and Booze!!

[Wa10]

Who else is looking forward to getting away from it all for some much needed R&R? Or are there any lucky ones amongst us currently soaking up some winter sun away from the dreary, drizzly winter here in the UK?

We are off to Caleta de Fuste at the end of July, and I really cannot wait. Having only managed a few days in Wales last summer (although nothing at all wrong with that, it's by far my favourite part of the UK!) it's been far too long since I sizzled on a sun lounger, haha. 

In the past, foreign holidays didn't really bother me - we only went abroad once when I was a kid, and apart from travel for business I've not really seen much of the world - the odd trip here and there, however I'm not sure whether it's old age or something but I've really got the bug now and started to appreciate the downtime and relaxation - work hard, play hard and all that.

Reason for only getting into Wales last year was that we spent Christmas and NY in Egypt the year before, which really was the trip of a lifetime, but meant that the budget didn't stretch beyond Snowdonia later on in the year. I think it was the experience in Hurghada which got me really hooked - as soon as we were home we were planning for this year, and I'm already making plans for next year too. 

So, where is everybody else planning on escaping to this year or next? who knows, may bump into you on a beach over a cocktail somewhere hot and sunny.

So many different 9 degrees????

You must be 'trying' to blind me with science.

9 degrees is 9 degrees. It doesn't matter if it's got a gentle westerly breeze...You carry on convincing yourself that it's warm....Delusional....:smileytongue:
