Japan for 18days with family late June early July....didn't consider England matches when booking which will be around 5am 🤯. AI chat bots currently refining the itinerary to visit the key sights and cities. First time and it's meant to be an amazing experience. |
Outdoor baseball…highly recommended, though a JLeague game is fun too.
Three weeks in Kerry, but going halfway through June rather than September for a change. [Post edited 7 May 11:08]

Second one very important as I booked the first one during my wife’s birthday.
She’s not best pleased. | | | |

Bilbao, San Sebastian and Barcelona from June 1 to June 8. Looking forward to the first two as they look interesting and civilised on the net. Plus I like a bit of rolling green countryside. Been to Barcelona many times so it doesn't hold so much charm but I'd like to go hiking with a group there. Happy Holidays everyone. | | | |

So getting a ferry and trying out Jersey for the first time. |  |

England vs Panama World Cup and a week in NY.; the last time I went there Ground Zero was a big hole in the ground with light beams shooting into the sky.
Want to see the Big Carrier this time and sister is booking a trip to Ellis island.

So different. We did a tour with Wendy Wu and covered Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, bullet train, Matsumoto, snow monkeys, bamboo forest, ending in Tokyo. Great experience

Going to Scilily in 4 weeks & first time there |
Sicily is great, I've been there three times. If you want to let me know where you're going, I can suggest some places 
My French cousin ended up in the doghouse for only inviting seven people to his wedding, so he's having a lavish, one year anniversary celebration, in Metz; we're combining going to that - on the train - with having a week in the Vosges countryside. |  |

Going to Vancouver and then driving round the Rockies  |
I done that in 1999. Amazing experience. My ultimate dream holiday is to take my family back over there and hire a camper van, and do a tour around the national parks. Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper etc. Mega money now though.
Enjoy mate, you lucky devil. |  |

Cheers! I also did it years ago as a kid with my parents (dad's best friend lived in Vancouver), looking forward to doing it again  |  |

Nice!
We booked our flights with Qatar & JAL with layovers in Doha for both outbound and return. Saved us around £400 each on what we was originally looking at.
That said, this all depends on the US Tango man and what goes on in the middle east 🙄 | | | |

I live in Cornwall and thought Wales was lovely (dare I say nicer) when I visited (Devil's Bridge/Aberyswyth). I've got a few days off next week and will be holidaying in .... sunny Cornwall. Home, in fact, as limited funds so I will be getting rid of bindweed/onion flowers etc etc in the garden at the rear of the property as that is my project this year to make it look acceptable. It has been overgrown right at the far end since I moved in and as it abuts all the neighbouring properties I've avoided it for 10 plus years other than a quick sortie now and again so now is the time. |
Nothing more satisfying than sorting a garden.
Well, apart from sitting the garden later with a beer, admiring whet you've done.
Other drinks are available. |  |

Any tips for Osaka & Kyoto ? Planning to visit Next Year. Which is best to stay / base ourselves ? I believe they’re only 15/20 mins apart by train….. | | | |

I’m staying in Palermo for just under a week, but will probably bus it to Cefalu one day and Sain T’Elia another day.
Any tips much appreciated. PM me if preferred. | | | |

Banff & Lake Louise stunning. Did the Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver 2019.
Going to Montreal, Quebec City & Ottawa in October. | | | |

Funnily enough we did those three a few summers ago.
All great (albeit Montreal was stinking hot), Quebec City was lovely and unexpected, felt very old world/European. | |

Looking to get the ferry from Bari in Italy to Patras in Greece before moving onto the islands. Bari - anyone been? Thinking of spending 2-3 days there before getting on board the ferry - is this worth doing? |  |

If you’re near Metz, you should visit Fort Hackenberg on the Maginot Line, I did it with some friends last year. It’s quite amazing, all maintained by volunteers, you get a ride on the underground railway and see the working turrets. Quite something. | | | |

Some sort of announcement on a Rangers European escapade in July would be nice after fun was had in Canet-en-Rousillon. One or two are probably still there. | | | |

I've only passed through Palermo on my trips so far, but it looks very atmospheric. I do know you can get a ferry from Palermo to the little island of Ustica, which looks delightful.
Cefalu is great, that's where I first met my now wife. The centre and square next to the cathedral is lovely. You can walk up to the Castello di Cefalu for great coastal views.
I'm envious, enjoy . | |

Many thanks, I will investigate, sir . | |
