Well actually I spoiled myself for other holidays when I was on 19, I went on a cruise, and again the year after, the first one went to Tangier, Madeira and Gib for 10 days, the second Palma, Naples, Palermo and Lisbon for 17 days. In those days cruises were not that popular, but it sure spoiled ther holidays for me after that

I love my holidays in Malta, where I go twice a year, and I've had lovely holidays in Cyprus and the Greek Islands as well as other places in Europe. The holiday that always stands out in my mind, though, was very different.

We only had the 2 older children who were aged 7 and 8 and we had a mortgage etc. but I didn't work. We hadn't had a proper holiday for a long time. We lived in North Yorkshire and we set off North, by car, without having booked anything, anywhere. We didn't know where we were going - just where the fancy took us.

The first night we found ourselves in Warkworth, Northumberland. We got a room, with a steeply sloping floor, at an ancient pub run by a woman in her 60s who was a bit of a dragon but made us a wonderful full English breakfast. Next we headed for Berwick on Tweed. We stayed for 3 nights at the Bridge Hotel, spending 1 day on a trip to Edinburgh, the other 2 exploring locally and spending some time on the beach (the weather was lovely and warm).

After that I rang my aunt and uncle in Whitley Bay and arranged to spend a night with them so I could show my husband and the children all the places I knew there as a child. Next day we headed off to the Lake District. We found a small B & B near Windermere and spent the late afternoon walking round the lake in hot sunshine and the evening dodging very heavy showers when we went out to eat.

The next day we called in at Morecambe and wandered around for a bit then took in Grange over Sands and then headed for Feniscowles to stay with my parents for a couple of nights.

It wasn't an expensive week but it was fun, we relaxed and every one of us enjoyed every minute.

2003, was the best for me,had 1 week in New York, then 1 in Las Vegas, then 1 in New Orleans for the Mardi Gras, that really topped everything off,fabulous city, fabulous people, n the Mardi Gras was something else, everywhere we travelled the yanks treated us like heros, it was just about 3/4 months after 9/11 n they thought we were nuts for flying around the states,but in a nice way.:)

Re: Best Holiday
 

I'll bet the music was good in New Orleans as well cashy

Re: Best Holiday
 

twas great,think i may have got wrong year may have been 2002,cos year after we did, Memphis, Nashville, n New Orleans again, as you may see music has always been a major influence.;)

Re: Best Holiday
 

The Queen Charlotte Islands off the coast of BC ... Paradise. Salmon fishing, camping, backpacking, whale watching, swimming in the Pacific, camping on an island and being the only humans there. (Warning: don't try to play with a Kodiak bear, esp. a momma with a cub. Remember that even tho Moose might look a little goofy, stay clear of them ... telephoto lens range.) And if you want the best experience, hire an Indian guide, preferably a Haida. This is for those who want to experience the true wilderness before it disappears.

Re: Best Holiday
 

The best holiday i have had was last year... we went to flamingo land near scarborough.. the first holiday i had had since i had my son, was the best because it was my lads first holiday and he was really excited and loved everything about it.. lol

Before that, but not really a holiday was my trip to Marl in Germany with the orchestra i was with, we did concerts every day, but that made it better!! lol

Re: Best Holiday
 

My best holiday would have to be when i went to newquay with my mum,dad and best friend.
It had been a few years since we could afford a proper holiday and we had been to cornwall a few times and always loved it.
Little did i know at the time it would be my last holiday with my mum who sadly died the following year.
That is why it was my best holiday,all the wonderful memories.
Sorry to bring the mood down a bit!

Re: Best Holiday

Re: Best Holiday
 

Best holiday for me has to be New Zealand. There is so much to see and do and the people are lovely. It's such a fantastic place that I went back again, and again....:D

Re: Best Holiday
 

My sister is moving there in a few weeks so I need to get saving up for an holiday out there ( might forget to book return :) )

Re: Best Holiday
 

My best holiday was when I went to Mykonos when I was eighteen, for three glorious weeks.

I'd somehow managed to save up for it myself, but a month before going was offered a job working as a wardrobe assistant on a film set, which paid fifty pounds a day, a fortune to me then. So rather than budgeting carefully, I had loads o' money to splash. A bonus, as it's notoriously expensive.

Mykonos was, and is, the most beautiful of the Greek islands, in my opinion. White washed windmills, flower strewn streets, and poodles wandering about in diamond collars.

As well as falling in love with the island, it was also the place I fell in love with someone else for the first time.

I made friends with some Austrian girls, and literally had the best three weeks of my life.

I returned at the end of September to go back to college, and someone I didn't know told my mum I looked like a Greek God, when she saw me walking down Union Road, all tanned, with my hair, which was long then, a la Greystoke film, bleached by the sun.

I've been back a few times since, but it never quite had the magic of my first visit.

The last time I went, I returned less Greek God, and more Demis Roussos.:D

I've been lucky enough to have travelled to many places in the world, but nowhere captures the excitment of that first trip to Mykonos.

Re: Best Holiday
 

I know I said earlier that I'd been spoiled with going on cruises, but two places in the UK I like are Great Yarmouth, and Carlisle, I've been to Yarmouth on a number of occasions, its very nice a bit like Blackpool only clean:D I worked in Carlisle back in 1975, and stayed there for around 10 weeks without coming home, the people are great the beers good and there was plenty to do at nights. I have been back on a few occasions since, and caught up with old friends, but its a few years since the last time I made the trip

Re: Best Holiday
 

funny enough Carlisle is a place i love, me lad did his degree up there mid 90s,so spent many a good weekend up yon,endorse everything you say about the place.
