Where or What are you doing this year for a holiday break ?
Especially if you are using your mig :y and what will you be doing to prep it :-*
I am off to the caravan (static) in the South of France, St Tropez area (again) in the 03. Brakes, oil & filter, plugs, tyres checked & balanced, LPG tweaked and maybe cam belt as it is almost 30K since last done (would you do it ?)
Two of the kids in the back. Boot will be loaded up as our 20yr old daughter will be with us ::). Three weeks this year, what the hell :P
Well looking forward to it this year especially. Don't know why probably because work has been light this year :(
HS&E warning ;) Please do not put specific information etc etc so as to reveal to unscrupulous (_o_)'s

I haven't had a holiday since 1992 so it will be very much of the same muchness. :y

6) September2, week somewhere with my old school mates. No idea yet, everything from Morocco to Slovenia has been discussed
7) November - Dublin again, maybe New York

Yes, and you're quite right to do so - I regret not doing the same when I was your age.

Hence Scotland, I wanted to get that in while I could. I went all over America few years ago, thanks to my Uncles cheap flights. I can no longer get Business class return for £90, got to do these things when you have the chance/funds/health!

certainley agree with that can count the amount of holidays i have had on one hand.trying to suprise wifey this year and take her on honeymoon :-[...........but definatley future plans when things are on track is to have more holidays, cant blame anyone for going away as much as they can quality of life
we go to brugge when we can for a weekend love it, sure wifey goes just for the chocolate ;D

No plans to take the either Omega anywhere this year. The Silver Bullet went to Somerset in March for a week, but thats hardly a 'trip'. It will obviously be taking me to an airport in the summer.

Apart from Lakes and/or Newent, a short mini-break to Northern France and Paris is on the cards for September as we have free tickets for EuroDisney :y Other than that we're going to be saving to try and get out to Australia in April/May and seriously look at our future in the UK ;)

Accept my apologies Raif:
I (somehow) wrongly thought that you were going to Brean - Home Farm at Burnham's a very good choice mate!
Had our first-ever touring 'van holiday there, and subsequently several others too.
You have a nice time. Enjoy yourselves! :y :y :y :y :y
