Then it's a leisurely amble up to Caen via La Rochelle where we're spending a couple of days at a friend's wedding.

    Need to find 700 more Tier Points and I'll be on the BA Gold Guest List.

    Milan.
    Last flight I did was Stansted to Lanzarote on RyanAir.

    Yes, I should have known better but I wasn't in charge of booking the tickets.

    To be fair, the flight was on time but as we boarded we were told that to keep our slot there had been no cleaning service & we didn't have time to wait for the catering to be replenished which meant 4 hours squeezed into the middle seat with no refreshments although, mercifully, the aisle seat had an out of order sign on it since its previous occupant had sat on a packet of M&Ms and there was melted chocolate everywhere.

    Ryanair is now known as RienAir in this house.

    Where you staying in Sofia?

    Today is my last day for a fortnight - tomorrow we are off to Guadeloupe..

    Summer will be Iceland as twin b is working there by the looks of it.

    Autumn somewhere possibly Italy, possibly ???

    December - Vienna or Germany for the markets.

    Also what's wrong with Türkiye? Unless you are going all inclusive.

    but, in my book, you lose points for the flights, flying these days is the most unpleasant way to travel, the whole experience, from entering the departure airport to leaving the destination airport

    Milan.
    I did laugh at your post showing up just as I put mine in

    That's a lot of travelling to fit in two lines

    My humble list: already just been to Rome, April going to Treviso, August, hopefully if we get The Saw Doctors tickets on sale on Friday will be going to Galway and Mayo and maybe head into Gilligan country to explore where my mum's family came from, then Sept going to Como and Verona.

    Not sailing it?

    Aladar have the Aurora available out of Follonica. That would make for a pleasant journey on a gin palace.
