Carl Weathers Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'm actually looking for suggestions for a week away with the lads. I want somewhere hot and a hotel with a bar and swimming pool. We went to Malia years ago and it was a bit 'oi oi' for me. Somewhere with less plebs would be good. I noticed you can get deals to places like Malaga for less than ?200 each.

Tazio Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Planning a road trip in the States in the summer. Just get flights to LAX and have a night booked in an LA hotel for the customs documents. After that just drive around for a couple of weeks staying in motels making it up as we go along. Not a fan of other people making my plans for me. Probably have a couple of city breaks during the year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Portugal for two weeks which includes 4 / 5 days in Lisbon and the rest in the Algarve, with the berd. Love Lisbon. If you haven't been before, take the short trip to Belem. If it's during the footy season, get yourself a ticket for Benfica. If she's not into that, tell her that Portugal's largest shopping mall is next door. It's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncs Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Toying with going to Florida for the first time. We have a wee boy who will be 3 in April. Any tips gratefully welcomed. Florida is amazing, however I think 3 is just a little to young to fully appeciate it. A lot of the rides have height restrictions which mean a 3 year old would miss out on a lot. We took our two kids to Florida last year (6 and 5 year olds) and they loved every second of it and they got on most of the rides. A few years back we took them to Eurodisney which was great fun, not as big or hot and well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 That's what I thought. Cheers. We've had the wee fella over every year since he was born, and its only now that he's able to go on most of the rides. The advantages are that if you take him to the disney stuff, like the magic kingdom and animal kingdom, they cater for the wee kids like your aged 3's. There's some smaller rides that he will get on, however they're pretty pash for the adults. The bigger parks are really for adults. Tip for you. Under 3's get in the parks, so even though the wee man is 3, just tell them that its his 3rd birthday next month, that way he'll save you 30 quid a park. See you can take the boy outta fife.

Therapist Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Any tips on places to do, see, stay would be cool. I took my son for the first time when he was 6. Aside from the Orlando stuff - I assume you'll hire a car - Kennedy Space Centre's worth a visit as is Busch Gardens. I never stayed in the hotels - always hired a villa with swimming pool. There are loads available and prices are good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Would you recommend it mate? Any tips on places to do, see, stay would be cool. You are a Weegie now pal. We Fifers gave you a free transfer. We always hire a villa mate, that way you have the option of Mickey Mouse being rammed down your throat. Stay in the Disney resorts, and you've no choice but to have it rammed down your throat. We normally go for a villa in Kissimee, try this website on villas2000.com. You can get a decent 4 bed room villa with pool for about 450 PW, which is well worth it if you go with another couple/family. They sleep 10 easy. The parks are all superb, however If you like rollercoasters, head down to Busch Gardens - About 60 miles away but pretty easy drive down the I4. You can get a bus from the old town on Highway 192 that takes you to Busch gardens, sometimes a better option if you fancy a few bud's at the park. If you like special FX, try Islands of Adventure, Universal, MGM studios are the best ones I like most. The Spiderman ride has to be experienced to be believed. I loved it. Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom are more geared towards the kiddies, but still a must if you're going there for the first time. The only park I've not really enjoyed is Epcot, but it does have a great driving experience thing IIRC. Seaworlds seaworld, good for marine life, water slides etc. All in all a must do holiday for everyone. Been going there the last 6 years, and have still not done a quarter of what I've wanted to. Hell you can play a championship course for reasonable prices if you're into your golfing. Just beware if your ball goes near the lakes or reeds.

The People's Chimp Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hitting up mayrhofen in austria for snowbombing at the end of march/start of april. Was there last year and had an absolute blast, can't wait till this year. Fly to munich with sleazyjet and then a wee 2 hour transfer with other snowbombers - should be carnage - and we'll be there. There are 16 of us going, with that number possibly rising. will have to plan some other trips - i might go to munich for a bayern game next season, will go to France at some point, will probably go to london for a week late summer and definitely need at least a week near a beach.
