Holidays, home or away this year?

[Blossom]

Cheers. My parents have an aggressive pomeranian (I know it sounds stupid, but he's not a teacup one, he's a regular size, and no one outside the family can even get near him to groom him). He's fine with people who don't touch him or go near our house, but he wouldn't get on well in kennels or with a friend coming to the house to feed him. He's having anger management classes at the moment, we'll see how those go (!)

I've been to Poland and Morocco so far, planning on Egypt in September/October, that'll be as cheap as possible late deal, my girlfriend is a pain in the ass though, every day she ups the price, one day she'll look and see one for £700 each all-inclusive and because i'll say "not bad" the next day she'll show me ones at £1000 each and if I don't flinch too much the next day it'll be £1300!

Then she'll moan if I spend £40 on a domain

So far it seems that many will be travelling overseas, some nice destinations mentioned already anymore?

That's an amazing strategy!! I'd try that but unfortunately I pay for all my own holidays, and sometimes other people's

I'm going to Italy for a month. She's just been looking at them now, I just ruled out a couple as they are too far away.

This one looks the best bet I think http://www.holiday-rentals.co.uk/p598410a. 10 hours away, dog friendly, has internet, near to beach/sea

sounds perfect frog! looks awesome

There was a bunch of better ones but they were all further down the coast. Like a few of the posters here we're planning to take the dogs so that was going to be a pretty big sticking point - we can't fly. 10 hours is okay, but 20 hours is too much with 1 driver.

Had a great time in Italy last year, only went for a week and limited myself to 15 minutes a day online. Took a 1 euro coin to the net cafe each morning so no matter what happened I wasn't going to be online for more than that

But I think I would rather go for far longer and work for say 6 hours a day. If I cut out all the nonsense I'm usually reading online, I bet I can squeeze a normal 12 hour day into 6 anyway!

That'll be a blast, enjoy

Going away with mates can be good fun as long as you know them (& their habits) well ...

Uk only for me. Not due to costs but due to not fancying flying with a 2 year old who won't sit in one place for more than 5 minutes.

Been centre parcs twice this year and going great Yarmouth in aug.
Really miss abroad though so hopefully go back to Cyprus or Spain next year.

I'm probably the only person on the forum who has never been abroad by the looks of it! The only destination mentioned so far that takes my fancy is Tokyo, I would love to go to Japan and race around the highways with the hashiriya.

Blossom I know your problem, our dog (staffy X alsation) was a stray before we got it, it's already banned from all the local kennels. It's been to several obidience classes but didn't make sod all difference...

flying with a 2 year old who won't sit in one place for more than 5 minutes.

After traveling with a young baby from London to Australia (24+ hours) and vice versa several times I can relate. Not much fun. Now hes used to it.

Returning home for good in September

If you fancy a week in the Lake District my uncles place is nice and reasonable. Also accepts pets.

Loved Cambodia, Amazing place! Preferred it to Vietnam and I still loved Vietnam!!

Cambodia is chilled and Ankor Wat in the North is incredible

Here in the US, the price of gasoline is a bear. I think I'll be taking a "stay-cation" this summer (i.e., go sight-seeing in my metropolitan area)...
