Slovenia for me this summer, staying in Bled but will probably venture to the Alps and Ljubjana as well. Anyone got any must see/do tips?

Vilnius - Cheap and cheerful.
Riga - Top night out, nice city.
Tallinn - Beautiful place, cold as fuck.
Stockholm - Extortionate but likeable.

Just miss you in Benidorm, come home on 24th June.

Just booked honeymoon to Sri Lanka for December. Staying in Tangalle. Anyone ever been?

We're also an hour and half drive to both Galle and Matara so will probably go and spend a day in both of these cities. Any must do/sees?

Been in Portugal for the last couple of weeks as a slightly belated honeymoon. Been to Lisbon, Coimbra and Porto and we've really loved it - all 3 cities are brilliant.

No chance you adhered to a strict vegan diet imo.

That will be 10 trips abroad and 3 trips to scotland so far after those. Got Benidorm booked for September too and november and Malta in September as well. I don't like being here to be honest, if I could earn what I earn here abroad I'd do it instantly.

same with me, I've twice thought about doing what I do (orthopaedics) in the US but the only 2 places I've seen, are Cleveland (shithole) or Tulsa (bible belt) if somewhere like Portland or Denver came up i'd be off, plus I could pretend to be a Portland Timbers fan :D

i'm in Prague a few weeks after Thailand, then hopefully if Leeds are somewhere decent i'll be going on that tour too, more likely to be Italy with the Italian link we now have

yeah Spanish siestas , too hot to work , perfect working conditions, thought about Australia and New Zealand a few times (they are crying out for English and Irish workers in new Zealand for skilled work) only issue is I've never been so I can't comment on living conditions etc, America I know like my 2nd home

I've been to Australia, Melbourne and Adelaide but I don't rate the place at all it's just like here but has a hotter summer and costs a fortune although obviously you earn a lot more there. Plus it's too far away to be able to ever travel anywhere else. I'd still wanna come back for football and go to other countries with my pals. 5am-12.30 in Spain would be absolutely perfect but I'd earn about 30% what I do here so it ain't happening at the minute.

Who do you normally fly with for trips down there?

Looking at going over this Christmas for 10 days to see mine and the other halves best mates. Could time it perfectly for the test match in Melbourne too so I'll keep that on the quiet from our lass. :animatedf:

Goin marbs with the lads in july, kieran trippier’s mum’s got a sweet villa there so we won’t have to pay for a hotel. We have all chipped in for a blow up sheep sex doll and wer gonna put it in kyle walkers suitcase. Gonna be jokes af! Best thing though is that we’ve managed to keep it a secret from lamela so far, hopefully he doesn’t find out and end up wanting to come.

Any of the regular America travellers been to Detroit? I'm wondering what the best way to get there is as flights from London seem quite expensive. Would I be better off flying to New York at half the price?

Having just looked for myself it's still miles away. :lol:

Mate of mine who's a brickie went around most of Australia, ended up staying in Darwin and he loved it. Good money and cheaper than the other places I think.

Flights & Accommodation for about £115 each as well.

Anyone been to Croatia? Going there a week on Friday for a couple of weeks. Any tips/recommendations away from the normal Trip Advisor/blog style ones would be appreciated.

The plan:

Dubrovnik (3 nights)
Hvar (3 night)
Zadar (3 nights)
Pag - Hideout (5 nights)
Zagreb (2 nights)

Enjoy Hideout. :)

Apart from all the kids and the majority of (shit) music on offer, it should be good. I feel like I'm 3/4 years too late to this party but we'll see. Just going to find a nice dark corner and do my thing.

Off to the Lizard peninsula again the first week in August. Same place as last year but fuck it, why not if both you and your family love it so much. Will definitely do something different next year.

I went to Hideout 2/3 years ago and it was good - not sure how old you are but yes there is a lot of 18 year olds etc - be very careful with how you act because the police over there are not afraid to use force. However on saying that Croatia is a beautiful place. We stayed in Zadar after the festival for a few days to chill out before we came home and it's stunning. I would like to go back to Croatia one day.

I'm not exactly old (26) but the more and more I do these sort of things I do feel like the old man. Like you say, it'll just be covered in 18 year olds but rightly so. Will take note of the police tip, cheers for that.
