Last holiday: just returned (at 1am this morning!) from a solo trip to Porto. LOVED it. Gorgeous city .
Next holiday: me and my friend are going to Geneva / Annecy in Sept for a long weekend to celebrate turning 40.

Dream holiday: i actually have no idea. I have lots of 'hope to go' holidays but they're all different for different reasons. Would love to do a big orlando parks holiday with the teens before they leave home. Would love to go interrailing for the summer. Would like to do a world cruise with my husband. Would like to do an Artic cruise at some point in my life.

@YouBelongWithMe Porto is actually one of my favourite holidays!
It was a short break, just me and DC, and we also loved it!
Glad to hear you say the same.
We much preferred it over Lisbon (we visited both in the same year, 2024).

Our last holiday was to Disney world Florida and we loved it (have been before). That was February.
Next is to the Welsh border area in a couple of weeks.
Best has been Disney world abroad. In UK I love North Yorkshire

Dorset caravan holiday two years ago.

Not sure hoping for a break in January in a lodge. It will be something SC in the UK that’s the only holidays we do.

canada, never been. we always wanted to emigrate to there talked about it for years never happened. I have Canadian ancestry so I want to see all the places I’m from if that makes sense.

Just came back from Corsica, always lovely. Oct break have a week of fly and flop in Cyprus planned, but Xmas will be Sri Lanka and Maldives. Now looking at Spring, I was thinking Indonesia (Borneo, Komodo and some sailing around various small islands) but looks like family is leaning towards Japan.

I don't have a specific dream holiday. But there are many places I still want to see.

Best - all our holidays to Thailand have been fabulous (except for the very first, as went during rainy season and ended up at a tourist trap party beach area). I also really loved Brittany and Ile de Re a couple of years ago.

Last holiday - Lake District (early July)
Next holiday - Devon (early August)

Can’t say that I have a particular dream holiday, just a long list of places I fancy visiting, and others I’ll go back to.

Next two abroad holidays are Sorrento (October) and Corfu (next May).

imadeitnice · 27/07/2026 04:42

Dream - Bora Bora
Best - probably Cyprus this year, been many times but the hotel this time was complete luxury

YertleTheTurtle · 27/07/2026 05:19

Recently returned from Namibia. Was high in my top 5 holidays - absolutely stunningly beautiful, and impossible not to unwind/relax. So loads of wildlife (most of it 'accidentally' along the coast - whales, dolphins, seals, flamingos, killer whales, hyenas etc)

sunsettosunrise · 27/07/2026 05:58

Came back from Melbourne in January, and am off to Japan in December.

Dream would be Chicago and East Coast of the US but DP won't visit America whilst Trump is still in office.

Mysticguru · 27/07/2026 06:24

Not as a tourist but a traveller.....

Bali
Thailand
and a return to Japan

Where do you stay in Corsica and who do you go with if you don't mind me asking?

last holiday was to the Lake District. Next is to the Highlands. Best holidays were in France years ago.

we have been to a number of places - Porto Vecchio, Bonifacio, Calvi, Corte, Propriano etc. Island is not that big so can easily do several locations per trip. No need to use any travel agencies there, just book the plane tickets and hotels/villas/airBnBs as you prefer.

MrsPorridgepot · 27/07/2026 06:44

We are on holiday in Greece, our next holiday will also be in Greece as here is SO nice. Scotland is also amazing, in a woolly jumper and thick socks way.

Apologies if you're genuine, OP, but this sounds exactly like someone phishing for "memorable answers" 😒

user1471548941 · 27/07/2026 08:47

Last: Alaska
Next: Going to book something for our wedding anniversary early next year, considering Mexico/Costa Rica or similar.

Dream: it was Alaska but I’m going to have to come up with something new now, though I’d do it over and over again, there’s so much to do- Alaska in winter maybe?! Also any kind of trip that starts in Vancouver makes my heart happy. South Africa also high on the list- Cape Town, Garden Route, Safari.

Clearinguptheclutter · 27/07/2026 08:58

Last- mini break in Snowdonia, road trip around Netherlands/Germany

Next- campsite in France (2027 looking like Austrian Alps)

dream -
costa rica

best - Masai Mara and Zanzibar for our honeymoon

TeamGeriatric · 27/07/2026 08:59

Last holiday was 4 days in London, last abroad holiday was Bavaria for 5 nights back in May. Next holiday is Namibia in a few weeks. Dream holiday is probably Madagascar or Yucatan (I mean touring the Mayan temples across the peninsula, I don't mean sitting on a beach in Cancun), both been on my wish list ages. The Angkor temples in Cambodia in combination with Vietnam was probably my favourite trip, but I went in 2002, tourism has increased massively in the intervening 24 years.
