Happy Days!!!! The kazza family holiday has now been booked and paid for! We're off to Magaluf for 8 days in September and I cant wait. Its been 2 years since we've been away and I think we deserve this.
Where are you going for your summer holiday this year and are you looking forward to it................
PS if this has been done .... sorry!

I havn't seen a thread like it yet, and I'm bored at work so I'll answer anyway 
Doing something a bit different this year
Me and the missus are going to Prague for 3 days and Budapest for 4 days at the end of June.
We've got apartments in each city and flights booked. All in its about £260 for a week split over the 2 counties, which we thought was quite good as it includes the extra travel between the 2 countries.
Looking forward to it muchly!

might be a good thread for tips as well.
I've never been to east europe so any tips from people who've been to Prague and Budapest would be welcome!
Like-wise I can give advice on rome/barcelona/and a couple of other places.

I'm going to Australia in November as my best mate's getting married, although someone may also be able to help me out with some other ideas.
I'm looking to go away for a week with the wife at the end of June beginning of July and i fancy going somewhere hot, not really touristy (by this i mean not your costa del sol, ibiza, type holidays as i want a total relaxation hol) and not too expensive. Although i'm not over the hill (only 32) i just fancy somewhere relaxed where i can go out for dinner, drink lot's of (local) beer and wine without having to walk past a string of clubs or restaurants all selling the same food and bearing union jack flags!!
Any ideas anyone (Saber you could help with Spain)?

Prague's great as everywhere is within walking distance. Also i caters for stag parties (been to 2 there) and your romantic breaks.
If you want strip bars etc you just go to Wencleslas Square, otherwise stay down near the Charles Bridge, Old Town Sq or walk towards the Jewish Quarter- plenty of restaruants, bars clubs to go to. Also you can go over the other side and walk up to the castle if you're feeling cultural and energetic. if you want any other info just pm me as i've been to prague many times with both work and pleasure.
Budapest is much bigger, some roads could almost be in London and the metro is handy as you could walk for miles otherwise. Most touristy things are around the river or over the Pest side where it's more oldie than the buda side which is very built up- but best to get a big map when you get there as things are a lot more spread out than prague. Still a very nice place though- had some amazingly cheap but large adn tasty meals there.

not a bad idea- had been looking at mostly Italy (the Lakes and Amalfi coast as i've done the main cities) and Spain but hadn't really thought of Greece.
Any other ideas people?
