    We have just got back from a lovely holiday down in Somerset and now looking forward to the main one in the year which will be over to my favourite island.:hapydancsmil: We were going to Cornwall but as the Caravan Club is doing a good deal of £1 a night pitch fee over there decided not to bother booking Cornwall Mr Kandy worked out all the fuel and ferry costs it will be cheaper for us to go there as the fuel prices are set to rise another 3p in August so looking forward to it,plus we don't have to worry about long queues or having to be body searched plus there is no exchange rates to worry about:snork:

        Dunno if we'll have a 'main' holiday this year, as we're still waiting to hear if the Mrs is losing her job. Last year we bought a 'tourer', which we've sited down in Newton Abbot, so at least we can have a few breaks. Off down there this weekend, actually:blue thumb: Damn, just saw the forecast, well that's just great!:mad:

            I feel sorry for the people behind that 'why go abroad for your holiday?' campaign that's on tv at the moment. Well, possibly the fact that it hasn't stopped bucketing for weeks and weeks and weeks. I suppose the upside might be that those who have chosen caravan breaks might get a free minicruise thrown in when their accommodation starts to float downstream.

              Jack, we transfer ours from Lloyds TSB to Santander London who immediately transfer it to our Santander account here at top rate, free of charge. :dbgrtmb:

              Claire, that advert makes us laugh because Rupert Grint (of Harry Potter fame) spent last summer at Vale de Lobo, half an hour from us! :scratch: Your 'free minicruise' made me laugh too! :loll:

                I haven't been on holiday for ten years. :cry3:Although a lot of the time it feels like being on holiday here.:)
                Our favourite holiday destination is Turkey. We've been several times to different locations. Olu Deniz, Cappadocia, Antalya among them.
                I's a lovely place, the people are great too, and it gave me plenty of opportunities to belly dance and shop for new costumes.:blue thumb:

                    I was sailing on the NILE earlier in the year, the cruise boat had a belly dancer entertain you at the table, all dusky and sensual,
                    Spoke to her, she was 19 and from Glasgee, showed me her Scottish Thistle Tattoo on her thigh and thistles embroidered on her costume :-)

                    Followed by the Whirling Dervish dancer

                        It's surprising how many dancers abroad are not 'locals'.
