Had a look back a few pages as I thought we already had a holiday thread but couldn't find it.

Anyway back from mine about 2 weeks now and it feels like it was last year!!   Went to New York for a week and did the usual touristy stuff. Stayed about a 5 minute walk from Grand Central and just less than 10 from Times Square. Got to see this as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm1yIl_ZEuc .

Overall thought it was a cool place to visit. Plenty to do and see but certain places can be a bit pricey. Will definitely go again in the future as still a few things left to see.

Anyone else heading off or just back from anywhere nice  .

South of France for me in August (near Montpellier).

Staying with lifelong French friends who have a large rustic villa, their own wine cellar, garden half the size of a footy pitch and a massive pool.

I may not come back !   

Burlington Ontario in an Air BnB end of July/August

Lefkada, Greece, going there in two weeks.

A friend of mine is going to Switzerland, never understood people that go on a summer holiday in a place without a beach!

No holiday for me, sadly.
Instead I get to go to London next week, India the following week, and three weeks later back to India. All with work, all flying cattle class.
Meh...

Nice one SS. Have heard Canada is a top spot and definitely somewhere I will visit some day. Just curious but is it a house your renting or a room ?. Paid almost €2.5k for 7 nights in NY and heard Canada is quite expensive also.

Was in Kos before and the heat was unbearable mate!! Other thing that struck me was how clear the water was  Clearest water I ever seen.

Love the nightlife and restaurants that line beach promenades myself but wouldn't spend many days on the beach. Prefer lying on a lounger at a spot beside the pool during the day. Love city breaks as well in fairness but a week is too long.

Had a quick look Woof and the temp there as I write this is 26 degrees  43 forecast for tomorrow    Scary heat that is 

Make sure to wear a pair of those floaty arm bands at all times!!! Especially after a tour of the cellar  They wouldn't look cool at Swing-Con though if that's what your at,   but not saying you are or anything    but anyway I'm not judging  .

Just think about it when you retire though  All those places you won't want to go 

Think it was yourself that mentioned before about working or possibly living in Germany/ Hamburg for a while ?. Anyway if it was just wanted to say I was at a stag back in may that was in Hamburg's Reeperbahn. Absolutely mental spot altogether.

Hamburg is a great spot. Haven't been there in years since I lived in Frankfurt and used to go up to Hamburg most weekends. God knows there's absolutely no reason to be in Frankfurt anyway, dull as dishwater.
You're right though about India. I think after this summer I'll have been there a total of 15 times over the years.
London is not so bad, mental expensive I find though.

It's a house ...sleeps 12 , not cheap but you only live once...I've been to Canada a few times and I wanted to take my family before they all fly the nest and do there own things .

Wife and one son already in Italy staying with the in-laws, other son in India on a school trip. Dad working to pay for it all. I fly to Italy in a few weeks, we go over to the UK for a week to look at uni's for the clever one. This could be our last summer holiday together as a family....

It does kind of just roll off the tongue 

Just got back from Italy for a wedding (Lake Como) and if all goes well with a project I have been chasing, Blue Marlin fishing in the Azores 

Fly out to Paris in September and wandering around Normandy enjoying the wine cuisine and history.
Before heading over the channel to catch up with my relatives.
Hopefully get a cheap flight up to Bergen Norway and then a stop over in Qatar on the way back to Oz .
So I can wander around Doha shaking my head about how they going to have a World Cup here
