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.

I was lucky enough to go away twice last year, once to Lanzerote and once to Turkey.

I'm off to Crete in June and hopefully somewhere in September but nothing booked yet!!

Hopefully get across to France 5 or 6 times this year.
I just need to work out the best times to go so I can maximise the bank holidays and save on my personal days.

The inside of my car was frozen this morning @Cleoriff, so I'm only slightly annoyed I'm not there too

Ours was pretty bad yesterday when I left at 4.30am for the airport @Toby. Such a pleasant shock when I landed here.

@Cleoriff to tell you what I really think of the fact you are basking whilst we are freezing would be in breach of the community guidelines, haha, so I'll just say (in a  not at all bitter way ) that I hope you're having a good time. 

***! 😛 hehe

Sweating here too - went out at lunch time without my coat

I am having a good time @Wa10. If there is WARM sun then I will be set up nicely for a few weeks.

I think I am the person who gave scientists the urge to research S.A.D's

Put it this way, I suffered with it before they gave it a fancy name
