Holidays 2025

[TexanToffee]

Going to New York City again in July to see Everton and then have a big trip to Dublin planned for November. Thinking about hitting up Scotland as well and probably making another stop in Liverpool.

Does anyone purposely holiday at other times of the year avoiding the summer madness? I'm thinking of holding out and going somewhere later this year when it's less busy

My wife and I have been going away in June for a few years, since the kids were too old to come with us and she’s not keen on the heat later in the summer. We’re in Benalmádena now and I’ve suggested coming back to Nerja in October , we went to Puerto Pollensa last October which was good.

Visible from Bembridge aye.

I love Nerja. So pretty.

Island hopping for 3 weeks Sept/ Oct. Staring in Rhodes, then going to Symi, Kalymnos, Leros and flying home from Kos. We always go away late these days. We also try to have a winter city break. We went to both Belfast and Dublin in January- Dublin was my birthday present to Mr F - we went to the Leopardstown racing festival bit also visited Wexford and Kilkenny while we were there.
Im also hoping to squeeze in a visit to the Scottish Highlands at some point this year.

We went to Naples for a few days 2yrs ago.
There’s some really nice buildings, museums and stuff in the city centre, but it is one of the dodgiest places I’ve ever been.
I thought Pompei was mind blowing.
San Gennaro catacombs was also great

Would definitely like to visit pompei and Herculaneum. yeah, heard it can be a bit rough away from the tourist areas though.

Puerto del Carmen in Lanzarote in September. Me and Mrs Blue61 will be celebrating our 30th Anniversary in style by making placards to fit in with the anti tourism protesters. Thankfully away when we play the vermin at the pit.

Got back last Friday from a few days in Rome, walked 21 miles in 2 days, not great for someone who is 60 and had knee and back surgery. Off to Salou in September for my wife's 60th, she wanted to go there as never been there before. Went to Fuerteventura in March for a week, lovely in the day but a tad chilly in the evening.

Do they still have a street market?

Don't know Joey,I stay with friends but they live outside the town. I jump on the Southport bus then train it into Liverpool so very rarely go near the centre.

Do they still have a street market?

Yep. Every Thursday.

I'm off to Peschiera del Garda (Lake Garda) on Friday with the family. I've got my GOT app loaded on my phone along with train and bus apps to help us get around when we're not lazing by the pool. Never been to Italy so I'm looking forward to enjoying some sublime food. Fingers Crossed anyway.

Where is everyone else going that is going?

Italy is a lovely country. Cycled round the lakes cple years ago, Garda, Iseo and Lake Como, absolutely stunning, the views and scenery were something else. Enjoy

My youngest son (age 20) is in Milan at the moment doing one of his solo trips, he is hoping to do Lake Como tomorrow.

I live in Spain. 3 months school holidays started today. It's boiling so need to spend as much time near water as possible. Loads of great places around

Its awesome mate. We cycled part of the Giro D'Italia up and around Como, absolutely stunning.

2 weeks in Dubai in August. If the heat doesn’t kill me… a stray iranian/israelian/american missile may well do!
