[magentastardust]

What us everyone hoping to do for holidays next year-let's hear it folks :)

Ooh, thank you sweetest. All recommendations gratefully received as we live SW England

1 week in Ibiza in July

Easter- week in a large cottage in Dorset with extended family
may Hlaf term- camping in the Gower
At some point in school summer hols touring holiday of Scottish highlands and islands. Getting sleeper up to Inverness from Euston, hiring a car and doing Inverness, Toriden, Fort William and fly back from Glasgow.
October half term - 2 weeks at Disney world Florida and Universal Studios.
We will probably fit a few more long weekends in camping and a trip on the first May BH to say DDad in Exmouth.

Ooh these all sound good so far-love hearing everyone's plans!

We haven't booked yet but will be doing somewhere in the Med in July (Scottish school holidays) we normally book a villa .

Love Pollensa area of Mallorca , but thinking of maybe the Silver Coast in Portugal for a change this year -anyone been?

I am so glad at least 1 other person has 2015 already planned.

We are going to a farmhouse in Verdee for 2 weeks, with a possible stop off at Disneyland Paris on the way back for our 2015 holiday.

Croatia for a fortnight with dh and dd in July, followed by ten days in the Maldives with dh over my birthday at the end of the year. It's dh's 40th the following spring and he's always wanted to visit Russia (of Russian descent) so

(dd helping there) depending on babysitting favours, might take him to Moscow next winter as an early birthday gift.

calamity I may be biased as I spent a year working there but Moscow is AWFUL for a whole host of reasons which I could go into at length...do St Petersburg instead.

Dubrovnik early May
and then caravan breaks during the year

We booked our 2014 holiday on Saturday. Off to Santorini for two weeks in June.

Stickingbishop, I went to St Petersburg this summer and loved it. If you like art and history it's an amazing place to visit.

Oh, really StinkingBishop? That's extremely useful to know. He fancied Moscow for no good reson other than fancying Moscow, there are no particular ties to that specific city - I shall certainly look at St Petersburg instead, thank you very much for the advice!

Absolutely, yes. Not sure what but I think it'll involve a tent, Scotland and some ferry travel.

Considering taking DD out of school (We are moving, so will withdraw her from old school a week early, and start her at new school a week late) to do Disneyworld in June - cant afford it otherwise.

If we don't do that then we will probably go back to Hurghada in Aug.

The Kremlin, Red Square, all v impressive. But the traffic is appalling - 2 hours to get anywhere. Architecturally it's a bit meh. And it's just, well, I kept getting mistaken for a prostitute, and men would proposition me and working ladies slap me for being on their patch...it's capitalism gone mad with ladies wearing the price tags hanging out of their clothes deliberately...unless you're a 30something bloke you can't get anywhere in life...they have the 'spring flowers' which is when the snows met, revealing the corpses of homeless people who were frozen to death (usually old women who managed to survive communism but then were cast aside)...corruption a-plenty...your car will get stopped all the time for ministers...hard to get proper taxis and you often get fleeced...and VERY expensive to eat/drink out and hotels (more than London). It's just cold and hard and bling-centric.

Whereas St P is beautiful and more set up for visitors and has the art and the music and the ballet and is just lovely.

Sorry to any Russians reading this. Maybe it's just me!!! I bloomin' love the countryside though, and would love to go to Kamchatka and Lake Baikal.

We have a cheeky weekend in Amsterdam (minus kids) in a few weeks for dh's 30th birthday.For next year a relatively cheapish holiday to Spain with the dc in may half term to spend a few days with relatives and then a few nights in a hotel.ds misses 1 day of school but has been authorised by school as booked prior to toughening up of regulations. We booked flights early so managed to get then relatively cheaply.Saving for florida holiday in 2015 all though we haven't booked that yet!

We have a week at the Holiday village Tunisia in May half term and a fortnight in August at the Holiday Village in Kos. Will also take the kids to visit my Mum in Spain at Easter and in July.

Considering a week in Egypt for Xmas - still mulling over that one though.

So far we're booked for Feb half term at Centerparcs De Vossemeren in Belgium, Chateau des Marais in the Loire, France for Whitsun. Keeping the summer free for a late Aug camping trip, probably to France.

DH and I skiing for a long weekend in Germany in March, up home to Scotland for a week in July for the Commonwealth Games and then 10 days in Menorca all inclusive in August (when we booked in June there were only 10 day holidays left for August 2014 with free child places).

We have booked our flights to Turkey for the end of July next year, now I have to look for accomodation. We are looking for a nice villa near a beach

where are you skiing in germany caurniebred?
