Holidays, something different
« on: January 05, 2014, 23:59:24 PM »
January, thoughts are turning to Holidays, Scotland Booked, Bo'ness Childrens Fair, but looking for something different, Trying to talk Gordon into a Nile Cruise, so looking forward to anything but Turkey for a change.

Ha Ha I did tell you how good "ABT" can be :D

As an "off the top of my head" reply - how about one of the Highland steam train holidays? I'm almost at an age where I see them leaving Perth International station and thinking "that might be good"  :)

That sounds interesting, but not quite there yet, the Holiday insurance is still and only just affordable for holidaying abroad.

I was going to suggest the Italian Lakes but a glance at the photographs of the area and to be honest, you could be in Fethiye!

What about somewhere like Norway - those amazing fjords! Can cruise those too .....

We are off next week to Norway to go dog sledding, snowmobiling and hopefully to see the Northern Lights.  8)

If you have not been already, try New York, so much to see and do.  A wonderful city.

Wow - that's sounds very action-packed! Do let us all know how you get on, please.

Norway has been on my wish-list for a while ....

Seeing the Northern Lights has been on the current Mrs Hamlets wish list for a long time Menthol, as it will be a one off for us I hope we see them, it's supposed to be one of the chances for many years but with my luck there will be no show just for the time we are there, lol !  8)

Hamlet, that is right up my street, but definitely a no no for Gordon.  New York, never been on my list of places to go.  However, I did want to go to Vermont in the Fall, yet after seeing the wondrous colours of the English country side this Autumn/winter saved a fortune.   


Bo'ness Childrens fair is still on, and I am still trying for the Nile Cruise and Pyramids.  The Norway Dog Sledging Northern Lights is definitely appealing to me.   Hamlet I want to see LOADS of photos.  have a great time.
