Going with my lad to Brid for an extended weekend beginning of August, my mum and partner are joining us. My first trip away with him since the split a few years ago, so really looking forward to it.
For me and the girlfriend, we have a week away in September or October, abroad hopefully, depending on cost. Doesn't have to be anywhere fantastically warm due to the weather we've had here, couple of mentions for Croatia on here, heard good things about it. Anyone any ideas?

Just had a week mountain biking at Kingdom Trails, Vermont. Wonderful! Will have 5 days carp fishing in September, probably Otonabee River, P'boro, Ontario. UTT Ive been to Peterborough New Hampshire. Going to Chinon in the Loire Valley. Wine tasting and relaxation. It’s all ethanol And you taste with your eyes. Once you establish that, then just buy on a price v strength ratio |

Dorset in the caravan, in between Weymouth and Lyme Regis, weather looks set, can't wait Something's bound to go wrong during your trip, it always does, doesn't it?  Not sure what you mean, I plan my holidays like a military operation 😂 |

I hope you will be paying homage to the graves on behalf of the epbs ldr? Got a couple of nights by the D-day landing beaches. Respect will be paid mate! Went to Arromanches, where my Grandad landed, about six or seven years ago. Incredibly moving. Pontoons still out in the sea, all a bit eerie ... and, if you can stand it, the war museum in Caen is pretty amazing. |

Massif Central and Perpignan/Argeles. Lot of driving and miss the Chelsea game, but looking forward to it. May have to do a day trip to Filey as well  Spent a bit of time around Perpignan, Carcassonne during the 98 World Cup. I've always said I'll go back but haven't got around to it yet! Carcassonne and that whole south-west France region is the best part of the country for me. I live on holiday to the south-east, but not half as good and twice the price! |

Call me Oti lite
Already been to Oz and Canada this year. Soon on separate trips to the Algarve and Furteventura, then in Autumn I go to Minneapolis, New Hampshire, and Brooklyn. However, I have always thought my life to be one permanent holiday, with permanently changing venues. Some venues being better than others

Going to Biarritz for two weeks, packed my Town shirt but its more of a rugby area than football. We will pop over the border to Bilbao no chance a seeing any football La Liga does not start until the 18th August.

Stopped calling them holidays 30 years ago....just a trip i suppose. No family you see.
Got 10 days in Oz in September....a 30 year reunion with 16 loons i spent a year in Africa with. Rainforest, yachting, beaches.
Germany soon, Hungary, Germany again...Seville for the England game in October, USA end October and India after Chrimbo.
Plus, as many Town matches as i can get to.

Going to have to go To Mablethorpe this year, don’t ask, but if I had to recommend anywhere in Europe it would be Italy and Croatia. The rest, not really Did Mablethorpe with my parents for 8 years on the trot when I was a kid....Golden Sands holiday homes and I loved every minute!!.....times have changed a little now though and over the next 2 months I'll be going to Santorini (never been before) and Portugal twice....I think I should start a thread saying 'games you will miss due to bad holiday planning'  |

I can assure you that as an isolated only child, the novelty soon wore off. There are only so many weeks you can prowl about them sand dunes alone before developing some kind of sand madness My parents have still got a caravan in same spot that my grandad had one since 1967, and now we've gone and got the one next door. If Dante did holidays......... Our Gert also went there every year in late 70s/early 80s by the way, they used to stop on chalet park at Links. We may have all been there at the same time, I will have been anyway, as like I said, I was there every single bleeding weekend! - You may have seen me prowling the bushes, like some kind of child Ben Gunn |

May have to do a day trip to Filey as well Filey is lovely, taking the camper there this afternoon for a picnic on the cliff top country park. McCarthy Stone are building one of their posh retirement villages up there soon (planning notwithstanding). I think we should all buy one and move out there. That way we could have all our arguments face to face rather than on DATM. I’m sure they’d put a boxing ring in instead of a pool if we asked nicely. As for holidays .... already had mine, 10 days on the Amalfi Coast and 5 days in Monaco for the Historic Grand Prix weekend. |

Pontoons still out in the sea, all a bit eerie ... and, if you can stand it, the war museum in Caen is pretty amazing. A few of us did a bike ride a few years ago that visited all the beaches and loads of museums. Incredibly moving, and the cemeteries and museums are a fitting legacy to the untold bravery of thousands of young men. |

Throughout the fifties, early sixties, we always went to Bridlington. The old RAF huts to the south of the Town, about a mile down the coast. They must have been sold off and converted into holiday homes, ours was San Remo, owned I believe by a woman in Bradford. They're still there.
Mid sixties, we got a caravan, and went to Mablethorpe for a good few years. Can't remember the name of the site, but the one where the water tower was, now blown up and gone I believe. My sister and I were just left to do our own thing, told you can't get lost, just remember to look for the water tower! Happy days, though it really is a "one horse" Town.
My two younger brothers got rather luckier being 12 and 19 years younger than me and my sister. By the early 70s, they'd started going abroad, right after we'd left home. I don't think I'd have swapped childhoods to be honest.

Off to the motherland - a fortnight north of the border to show my kids their heritage before we start taking them abroad next year. We're staying in Saltcoats but will take in Arran (home of the sweater), Glasgow and Edinburgh (although it's festival time so will be rammed), Loch Lomond (my birthplace).

Taking the kids to Orlando for our holibobs but will unfortunately miss the Chelsea match. Do any of our fans living in Orlando know of any bars that will be likely to show the game, because, being chief holiday planner, we happen to have a rest day from the parks on the 11th ? |

Dorset in the caravan, in between Weymouth and Lyme Regis, weather looks set, can't wait Came back from Eype near Bridport last Saturday. Lovely part of the world. Lyme Regis is very nice as was Weymouth. Went to Charmouth when BBC4 were filming Beach Live. Dan Snow looking pensive at rehearsals but the programme had been savaged on twitter. Bovington Tank Museum was good and worth a visit if that's your kind of thing |

Nowt wrong with Mablethorpe. I had many a holiday just down the road at Chapel St Leonard's as a kid and bloody loved it.
There's that many places in the UK that are bloody wonderful, I'm not bothered if I never go abroad again. Which is a good thing, because I can't afford to.
