A boating holiday on the Canal du Midi in France

A canal holiday in Spring through the Midlands - it was so beautiful, peaceful and lovely pubs.

Vancouver, Vancouver Island and Whistler (wasn't keen on Whistler but loved the drive there). Easy driving, great food, lots of wildlife and nature, Vancouver is an easy city to like.

Really enjoyed a cycling holiday in Croatia - it was with a group but you went at your own pace and met up in the evening if you wanted to. The food was fantastic, the scenery was really lovely and some great architecture and nice local hotels.

A self guided cycle through the Loire Valley, amazing food, cute local hotels, the cycle paths were all dedicated paths with great signposting, loads of sightseeing - would happily go again.

Norway - fjords, glaciers, cosy cabins, car hire, absolutely amazing 😍

Thailand - v smart hotel, beach and boat trips, amazing food and general luxury.

My actual favourite holidays have been standard package trips to Greek islands - pool, beach, occasional town trip, tavernas and family fun. As long as the room has air con and the airport transfer is not too arduous then these have been the best times 😊

Some ideas:

The Maldives, Shanghai, Seville, Iceland, the Galápagos Islands, Edinburgh, The Gower Peninsula, Pembrokeshire, New Zealand, Boston

Amalfi coast for my 40th to a fancy hotel with an infinity pool.
any of our skiing holidays as it’s just such a great family holiday. The last one to Tignes was probably my favourite though as my teenage kids just seemed to enjoy the family time spent together on the slopes so much.

City break - Krakow
Scenic trip, Italian lakes/Switzerland/Southern Germany
UK coastal - Beer
Abroad coastal - Grand Canaria, western side

Forgot - UK City Edinburgh

Safari in Zambia with a stay in Livingston at the end

New Zealand in a camper van. We were in our 60s and absolutely loved it.

EuroDisney with the kids. Loved Brugge too.

Canadian Rockies

That sounds like my perfect holiday!

Barbados x 8 times. The 9th is booked for next March.
Italy

I’ve been to many other places. Barbados and Italy are the top two for me. Having said that, I’ve just got back from Greece and am going to Madeira next month.

Pre-DD: 7 of us on a canal boat cruise though Camargue and Canal du Midi. it was absolutely hilarious and also magical having breakfast in the middle of nowhere surrounded by flamingos and wild horses.

With Dd - 3 week road trip to Tuscany via Bavaria, Valpolicella, Lake Como and Switzerland. And the Dordogne - we went several times as there is so much to do for kids (and adults). And interrailing when she was older.

With DH, after Dd went to Uni - umm hard to pick. Lots of lovely places in Italy mainly with stunning views, great food and lots of aperol spritzes. Ischia, Puglia, Liguria, Calabria, Lakes.....

With my girlfriends - lots of city breaks, but Seville and Lisbon are probably top of the list.

It was absolutely perfect. We ate hotdogs whilst watching the Red Sox play at Fenway (incredible atmosphere) and wandered along the cobble streets of Elm Hill whilst drinking coffee. Just so, so good.

Greek Island hopping in the 90s.
Ibiza
Suffolk
Dordogne camping when the kids were small

As a child, absolutely Disney. As an adult, Ljubljana and Lake Bled in Slovenia

South Africa (private safari at Shamwari). Just amazing

Have travelled all over the world but my second choice is Madeira. Funchal really has it all

No one stands out but there was one camping one that was something out of a book- bingo outside, group games- all the families chatting and getting along, was just fab!

Greece when DS was small
Corsica for beaches, mountains and food
Uzbekistan - wow!

Colombia, Barbados, Cornwall

Corsica. It was just fantastic.

The Datai in Langkawi.
