Are you going abroad this Easter half term, and where to?

Anyone going abroad this Easter half term?

If so, where are you off!?

Easter half term in Dubai 😎

No! Just I’m getting bashed for my choice of holiday destination.

No, we went to Portugal last Easter and it rained every day for 2 weeks.

We are going in May half term instead with the hope of better weather.

Are you not concerned about the proximity to bombs dropping? Did you get a ridiculously good deal which has perhaps addled your mind.
You do realise that the foreign office has advised against all but essential travel which would invalidate you travel insurance . Not sure I would be going right now.

Would you mind sharing the details of the eco village? I'm always on the lookout for genuinely green accommodation that's accessible by train. (If you want another recommendation Hotel Henriette Stadtmitte in Vienna is doing really good things - full of plants and lovely people and they give you a generous discount for arriving by public transport)

Pretty sure that post was a wind-up given it repeated the irritating inaccuracy of calling it Easter half-term and the nonsense of anyone going to Dubai right now.

It's called Torri Superiore- it has a website. It's about 4kms from Bevera Station on the Linea delle Meraviglie/Ligne des Merveilles, this amazing looking railway (recently reopened) that straddles Italy and France, that I'm really looking forward to travelling on.

I don't actually know how I'm going to cover the last 4k- I'm intending to email them and ask about buses, but I'm completely capable of walking if there aren't any.

Thank you that's brilliant. So long as there's a safe walking place (ie not the side of a dual carriageway) that distance is walkable.

Have an amazing time

I love Easter Half term!

Thank you!
No, I've already looked it up on Streetview (natch 😆). It's a rural single- track road. My guess is that the majority of traffic on it will be going up to the ecovillage itself, so if any clapped out vehicles driven by old hippies approach I'll just stick my thumb out 😆

Easter half term, that mysterious bonus break, a magical mini holiday where plans are loose, naps are frequent and nobody really knows what day it is but chocolates are aplenty 🐣

What could be better than Dubai chocolate eggs during easter half term?

We're at school next week.
So when you lot all return to school after the Easter holidays, we're off to Palma *with the kids who aren't at school as its still their holidays)

Any other areas going to Good Friday?

Any other non-existant things you want to declare your love for?

Going on a cruise with DH and my elderly parents. We are all keen cruisers. Dad’s been very ill and we thought we’d lose him, but he’s recovered enough to travel, incredible at age 87! So it will be quite special and I’ll burst into tears when we get on!

Exactly, that's why it's two weeks or more off school and why it's a new term when they go back

We’ve got a week in Hurghada, leaving Wednesday - cannot wait!!!

My son went on a school trip to krakow, including auschwitz at 15
he has since returned with his girlfriend, it’s a beautiful city and history cannot be avoided

2 nights in Dublin and 4 nights in Co. Galway.

Going to Italy in the first week (first holiday with new boyfriend!) and Marrakesh with DD in the second week

Sounds amazing

Turkey. Can’t bear the abysmal uk weather any longer. So booked a last minute break.

Egypt :)

It’s the end of one term: the Easter holiday before the summer term. It not half of anything.

Off to Florida tomorrow. Exciting because it’s DD’s first time on a plane. I’ve been to Florida years ago. Had my 16th birthday out there and now about to have my 38th… swimming with dolphins this time though. That’s what I told DP, no presents just wanna swim/ meet the dolphins. Just aswell because ds18 and my mum are both at home and the boilers on the brink 🫠🫠
