Not counting transit places or day trips.

For me Republic of Ireland (Athlone) if that counts and Jersey. France (Paris), Spain (Tenerife, Minorca, Nerja)

Cyprus to visit my aunties and uncle, Limassol.

Turkey stayed in Calis Beach.

Emigrated to Brisbane Queensland in my early forties.

Just got back from staying in Kissimmee Florida (sons wedding)

Visited a lot of places whilst serving in the Royal Navy, most of Europe.

My favourite place I’ve visited is Madeira, we’ve been back there many times.


Grimsby and proud!

Many years ago my wife and I went to Corfu. The apartment was at the top of a very steep hill, so steep it had 2 double dog leg bends in it to get down to the village below.

My wife decided we needed milk etc and sent me off on foot! When I returned she asked me I had got everything to which I replied no. What have you got she asked?

A hire car was my reply. That hill was bloody steep. lol

Isle of Skye is amazing, but I'd recommend going out of season if you don't want to be tripping over Japanese and American tourists.

Mrs G has been to Iceland and loved it.

I think the most amazing thing I have seen is a helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon.

Nerja , I mentioned this on a thread the other day is stunning. Stayed in puerto de mazzaron which is tranquil but will be very built up soon.

Prague closely followed by Barcelona great city breaks

Have done the usual tourist traps, Tenerife, gran canaria etc but, think it was only the weather that made the places stand out.
Turkey is really nice (not just for Christmas!) as is Tunisia though won’t be going back to either for a while!

Paris I hated. Bruges does amazing beers but is a bit boring.

Most East European cities with the historical bits still standing are a pretty good visit if you get a chance one weekend. Good fun, either in the winter or the summer months. I've been to Tallinn, Prague, Krakow and Wroclaw and had a great time in each of them.

Belgium is the most civilised country I've visited and is undoubtedly a bit boring, but good for a weekend (I've stayed in Bruges a lot, plus Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels). Obviously helps that I like their beer!

Porto a great place to visit and I've heard very good things about Lisbon, also, even if I don't like their custard tarts.

Malta. Boring, more so than Belgium, but without the beer. Lots of churches, mind. They really love their churches.

Madeira - lovely but not much to do

Singapore - unreal the way they live out their. The place is spotless and very busy.

Sydney - I was lucky enough to climb the harbour bridge at sunset. Unreal views. Also visited the ice bar, very interesting. Also, I've always wondered why the UK don't have something similar to RSL clubs. Its basically got everything under 1 roof- restaurants, bars, gambling/bingo/keno, games rooms, bowling etc
