Summer Holiday

[lambrini_socialist]

traditional british seaside holiday for me, as always. difference this year is, since i'm not perm any more:

- i can take two weeks without using up my holiday "entitlement"
- i don't expect to get endless mobile calls from nervous, control-freak managers who think they own me

[Lockhouse]

Off to Turkey In September for some sun then off to Key West in February for more sun...

Went to Red Sea at Easter for a cheeky week - 2 bank hols in that so only missed 3 day's billing

Off to Sri Lanka and Maldives in about 6/7 weeks time.

As if it's not bad enough having to go to a British seaside resort, you're having to go for double the time

Which one, out of interest? IMHO Bridlington is the only one left which retains its 1950s charm.

classified information old chap. suffice to say, a nice seaside town in a beautiful part of the world. not skegness or some other gaudy prole-hole, but not a twee Weekend Guardian theme-park like padstow, either.

5 week trip planned oct/nov - 2 weeks in Thailand, 3 in Aus and 3 days in Singapore.

Then Whister for 2 weeks next year hopefully, if we can make the finances work - fook me it's expensive travelling with two kids ...
