Default Where would you go.....

If you had 7 days leave to take this calendar year....

Not thinking adventure holiday, or anything to do with bikes. More get away for a week, turn the brain off - and have some heat.

Not too keen of the canaries.... No where is too far.

Go!

I hear Cape Verde is nice, boring, but nice.

Take some pasta sauce with you in the suit case, just in case

Years ago I went to Side in Turkey. Hot, loads and loads of history if you want to find it and not a massive flight.

Don't bother with Cape Verde, my niece and her bloke are there ATM, don't think they are very impressed with it.

Easy Jet to Sardinia. Lovely people, nice views and a lovely place.

I last went there in 2004 and had a thoroughly relaxing and wonderful time. Mind you I left the towns and wandered off into the mountains where I found peace and tranquillity.

It is entirely possible to roam about feeling very peaceful and just enjoying the culture. I would go there again, but my other half has a weird thing about going to Europe!

What about if you've 13 days left to take, but can't take any more than 2 consecutive days because of meetings and no one to cover for you which is the situation I find myself in.
