Are you going on holiday this year?

Dominican Republic for two weeks in January 07 and Santorini for two weeks in June 07 - not as many hols as some of you but i did chop a couple of trees down just to keep my carbon footprint inline.

I had 3 weeks in Florida over Xmas/New Year with the missus and kids so decided to work this year and try and get the mortgage down a bit. I have been to France a couple of times for weekends and have a luxury weekend booked in Harrogate for September but they don't count. Apart from that might go somewhere hot when my contract ends in January,

Barnard's Star to watch the C beams glitter in the darkness off the Tannhauser Gate.

Been there. No one speaks English and you can't get a decent egg and chips. Benidorm was better.

The Isle Isle of Syke for 10 days - ye cannae whack it.


Well, I just come down from the Isle of Skye
I'm not very big and I'm awfully shy
The lasses shout as I go by

Shout "Alfred -where's your troosers?"

Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets in a kilt I go
All the lasses shout hello
Alfred - where's yer troosers?

A lassie took me to the ball
And it was slippery in the hall
I was afraid that I would fall
Cause I was'nae wearin' troosers

Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets in a kilt I go
All the lasses shout hello
Alfred - where's yer troosers?

To wear the kilt is my delight
I'm never wrong 'cause I'm always right
The highlanders would get a fright
If they saw me wearin' troosers

Well, I was drivin' in my car
Went downtown to kenny's bar
Fifteen scotches, five cigars
And I left without my troosers

Went to Isle of Skye on a Geology field trip back when I was an undergrad - had a cliff hanger experience when climbing the cullin mountain.

But enjoyed the regatta. Not sure I want to visit again though

AJP, how much is the weather a deciding factor when contemplating a holiday to the Scottish isles?

My good lady wants to go to the Hebrides in September. Would a week's rain ruin the whole thing, or should I be steely and admire the rainswept brooding hills?

[Cowboy Bob]

Not this year. Saving the pennies to go off to Japan next year.

[Fishface]

Hong Kong - is something else - nice place nice people - and ChunChing Mansions is an experience!! kin'ell
