    A week of cycling in Cuba. But that's not till October

    Will try and get a weekend or two away before then. Thinking Prague looks nice.

    That said, I plan to do all or a few of the holidays below:

    - 2 weeks in New Zealand
    - 2 weeks riding on me TB Storm lassie in France and Spain.
    - 2 weeks on the island of Mljet snorkeling around.

    Good choices.

    Love NZ, lived there for 4 years, been back a few times since.
    Good gardeners there

    Sounds like an idea for a CUK road trip.

    Would like to do the USA proper sometime but seeing as those I'd be going with are poor permies who can only get 2 weeks off max, if I went on my own I'd probably end up being killed for vagrancy in Jerkwater, USA.
