I have been to Australia a number of times for work, mainly to Perth and once to Brisbane - 28 hours door to door for Perth and 32 hours for Brisbane is a long journey. I have quite a lot of family there and managed to visit a cousin I hadn’t seen for 40 years. It is a beautiful country, but I would want a long trip for a holiday due to the distance and travel time. My last trip was for a conference. I arrived at Perth in the early hours of Monday morning and flew out again on Friday evening. That is a long way for such a short trip.
I haven’t been to either. With Hawaii I was always put off by the high rise hotels behind the beaches, but that might just be Hawaii 5 0. My favourite places to visit have been Seychelles, South Africa and Australia.
definately recommend Thailand as a holiday destination.. quite humid tho
but i have to say i did enjoy the xmas holiday i had over there..spent most of the time in Disney/Epcot/MGM tho lol
The last time I went to Orlando, we'd hired a villa for the two weeks, had a pool, I never left it. That was a nice holidaydefinately recommend Thailand as a holiday destination.. quite humid tho
never been to Austraila but have distant relatives over there.. as for Orlando... that's good..if your a child
id suggest going in the summer.. winter there can be just a tad cold!!
There isn’t really a summer. We have 2 seasons - dark winter and light winter. The trouble with the summer in the Highlands is the Highland Midge. Fortunately, they seem to prefer my wife to me. The trick is to walk close enough to not appear as a separate target without being engulfed in the cloud of beasties that envelop her. Seeing as it is only the female midge that bites, it seems fair that they go for her rather than me.id suggest going in the summer.. winter there can be just a tad cold!!
have been to scotland quite a few time.. best memory is walking through Glasgow Central Train station with an online friend i'd met up with, smoking whilst walking past 2 police officers! (more than 10 years ago now tho)
I'm off up to scotland for a week, at the end of next week
Looks great, if a tad on the warm side.............For those wearing woolly jumpers and hats, for those with their heating on, and especially for those waking up to frosty windscreens. This was taken on my walk with Rudy (our basset hound) this morning......

...they forecast 26C today, 27C tomorrow. I will admit that it's not usually quite this warm at this time of the year, it's usually around 6 degrees cooler than this, but with blue skies. Retirement is so hard......
Looks almost identical to Otterspool promenade by me...except for the clean water, bright sunshine, litter-free promenade and stench from the household recycling centre next doorFor those wearing woolly jumpers and hats, for those with their heating on, and especially for those waking up to frosty windscreens.
