Fed up with being serious - dream cheap holidays
Aug 30th, 2008 at 9:13pm
 
It's raining here and my head hurts.

Please help me- I want to dream of holidays if I ever actually go to sleep.

Where is the perfect, dream but CHEAP holiday destination. Anyone can have a dream holiday if they are rich.

So far my vote is Egypt: Wonderful ancient sites, beaches, sunshine, great food, friendly people- very cheap!

oh and lots of very dead people wrapped in bandages who have been dug up!

W the B


P.S. I would have said Vegas but although it's cheap and we really loved it, it's a bit tiring and the culture aspect is a little bit lacking! (sorry!)

OK...HERE'S MY SUGGESTION..........
aIRFARE ACROSS THE POND TO SEATTLE WA.......a lil puddle jumper down to Oregon........about $400pp
a week or soo....with friends in Portland........PRICELESS!

or....watch cheap fares for a cruise deal to the Bahamas, mama! GREAT value!

Bon Voyage!!!!!!!!!

Wendy, you should be close enough to take a nice holiday in the Tuscany region of Italy.  My dream is to live out the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun."  You are much closer, much more doable I'd think.

Deb and Redd

Will make you really jealous now I'm afraid. My sister-in-law is a potter and sculptor and lives in Tuscany (a beautiful place called Pietrasanta) and I can visit any time I like.

Tuscany is as glorious as you say.

Bet you hate me now don't you Embarrassed

Holiday dreams are just up my street - I spend HOURS on this site looking at all the wonderful places to visit.Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or Register  In fact, I've booked a trip across Vietnam and Cambodia for my honeymoon!! (Code is VSK for those who want to have a nose).

For cheap holiday destinations, what about Wales? Lovely beaches, great people, lots of castles and not too far from you either!

Or there's always Ireland & Scotland. Short flight to a little cottage near a local pub with a roaring fire... Perfect!  Smiley

I always forget about the places close to home.

Deb,  I rented the movie so many times that the kids baught it for me last Yule. 

Wendy, Yes I'm jealous...the rolling hills and vineyards ad local markets,...I could see it all now...

GO TO ITALY..sounds like you'd have a place to stay already, so the holiday would be cost effective.  Oh..and pack me (in spirit) into your suitcase and take me with you? Wink

Almost 4 years ago I took a cruise ship from Puerto Rico, spent 3 days in the carribbean and then went across the pond to Madeira (The most beautiful place I have seen).  Then the ship went to Lisboa Portugal, Le Havre, France and then stopped in England, where I spent a nite in London.

For those of us that can't spend more than a few days at the sunny beaches, this was the perfect trip.

Oooeerrrrr!

I might end up in Germany!

Only kidding- most Brits like the Germans really- just not the French much.
Ironic perhaps?

So MANY old friends here, and so many lovely offers I have had via pm etc!

I feel quite weepy.

Sadly it is a dream to make me happy at the moment as kid goes back to school this week so can't go anywhere until next school holidays unless I just bugger off and leave husband to cope (can't do that) and we really are borassic (hope that word makes sense in American, probably not but it means skint, penniless, no dosh)

Have never been to Scandinavia and their men are rather lovely......

I want to live with Deb!

Oh I'm so sorry Deb

Life sounds very complicated (polite word for shit!)

I'm not going to whinge any more.

Our constant rain is only wet and at least it isn't a hurricane
My head will go away soon and at least it isn't terminal

Look on the bright side- when you are ready to meet a new man, at least you don't have to hide him from the kids!

and the next job will be MUCH better than the last
