Where would you go..... - Page 2 - SV650.org

I would go on a massive bender. And no I don't mean Stretchie. Lots of drink, drugs, and women of ill repute. Its the only way forward.

Interestingly I have some holiday left this year as well...

Or a weekend of passion with Stretchie

I guess it depends on just how much heat you want. If you want some proper warm weather where you have to seek out shade then at this time of year you have to change hemispheres, and that's going to involve a longish flight.

If you really want to switch off you also need to go somewhere off the beaten track, otherwise you're just going to be in a tourist trap where everybody is waiting their turn for a piece of you.

Also, is it just you or anyone going with you?

Get over it! You're retired. It's not an interview. ..

Depends on the budget too.

I've just booked another flight to my favourite island for February. We weren't impressed with the last hotel in October for the budget so began looking at villarenters and Trip advisors booking site for private villas. This was on a friends recommended experiences.
Tailored holiday for our personal needs, instead of someone else's packaged idea. 500 quid less too!

No thanks - I have a history of using all my holiday to knacker myself out then never getting over it.

Heat is not a problem - flight time wouldn't bother me - although probably don't want 24 hours to Oz to get over jet lag then come back. And yup - avoiding tourist traps is why the Canaries and Egypt aren't particularly appealing. Was considering heading out to Sri Lanka for a few days of sun and try to catch a ODI, but I might have left it too late.

Undecided. No point spending any money on something that doesn't appeal. Need to find something that I want to do yet.

Safari? lol

Edit: Also, never really been away on my own. (well I've done Ireland on the bike) Not scared of it, but maybe a little wary...
