    Favourite holiday was with the family in a villa for three weeks in Florida ...We have travelled a fair bit , Tenerife , Portugal,  Spain, Majorca ,   ( which we used to got to for three months of the year ) the warm weather helped my breathing problems. We have been to Turkey a few times as well . I would love to go back to Turkey ( God willing ) .  ??

    I have a strong memory of eating a grilled sardine in Spain when I was ten years old, it was delicious. I also stayed with a French family in dieppe for three weeks when I was eleven ish, which was a disaster, they spoke little English and I little French and we didn’t get on at all well. 

    Those were my last foreign holidays, a long time ago, over fifty years actually. ?

    Hi @leeCal..... was it your French trip that put you off foreign holidays ?  I love the grilled sardines done in the bbq at the side of the road .I used to go to a small fishing village in the algarve ...right off the beaten track (Burgau)
    A local delicacy was crab( it was served in the crab shell ,) it was lovely .??

    No @Seanchai I was self employed and in and out of work so I never knew if I had spare money or not for a posh holiday. I’ve had very few holidays over the years because of that and my health kept me off work too quite often. I’ve snatched a few days here and there in the UK and I don’t feel deprived at all but I must admit the holidays above do sound idyllic.

    Perhaps when all this pandemic is over I’ll look at having a foreign holiday. Fingers crossed ?.

    It's the insurance that's a killer now (for us )..... 10 years ago we could get a month in Spain or Portugal ( including insurance ) for around £500 for us both ....for two weeks holiday we would pay around £400 insurance these days.
    I just have a bad feeling about this virus (  how long it will last )....and what it will do to insurance for holidays ??
    I hope you manage to get a foreign holiday in the not to distant future LeeCal. ?

    Travel's a bit restricted within the EU I think, Google knows everything of course.

    Here's a gov.uk page on travelling to Europe now that we've left the EU @lisathomas50 :)

    Post lockdown I'd like to go to Disneyland, preferably the Florida one but the French one would be cheaper and more or less the same characters and selfie ops and that.

    I've been to both @MrAllen1976. Paris is an expensive place but cheaper to get to. DisneyWorld is more expensive to get to but cheaper once you are there :smile:

    My nicest holiday was futerventurer 2 and half years ago, it was my 1st time flying. A beautiful island, friendly and clean. I went with my partner who only had a few months left to live, so was our last holiday. I really didn't want to come back to the UK. I'm hoping to go back there when everything returns to normal. My Spanish needs some work tho, but luckily everyone spoke English.

    Anywhere in Italy, lake como, venice, sorrento, capri Pompeii. 
    In England, my favourite place is kynance cove in cornwall, also st ives, although it does get very crowded there.
    Although haven't been anywhere since 2012... :/

    I went to Edinburgh a few years ago and that was nice, hilly of course but nice. 

    I also had had a few days in Berwick and visited Alnwick castle which is worth seeing, they filmed some Harry Potter there. I wanted to visit lindisfarne island but it was difficult for us to get to in our three day visit, we were without transport that time. 

    (Kynance cove looks good @cress! Wikipedia says;
    Kynance Cove features in the 2015 production of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, a period drama of three daily episodes first broadcast on 26 December 2015.[14] It is also used as a location for the TV series Poldark (2015 TV series), as Ross Poldark’s beloved Nampara, and in the episode The Devil's Foot from The Return of Sherlock Holmes.)

    Yes @leeCal it's very beautiful...I remember as a kid the only sea I'd seen was full of seaweed and murky coloured couldn't believe how clear and blue the water was at kynance, thought I was on a tropical island!
    Happy memories of taking my own kids, who loved it too.
    I'd seen the first two programmes you mentioned but you've now inspired me to take to amazon and buy all three...and Aiden Turner (poldark) doesnt hurt either lol
    In the unlikely event of lottery win, it's where I'd love to live...so, no chance of that then  :/
