Enjoy it, Iam making my 3rd trip to Vegas in October and looking forward to getting back there, I did the helicopter trip to Grand Canyon last time I went, even landed in the Canyon so you could have a little bit of a walk round.

Cappodoccia central Turkey ..Jordan (petra & Wadi rum) Israel espec Jerusalem and Sinai/Red sea area instead of traditional Eygpt>Also Greek island hopping which is easy to do..its just 2 hours between most islands.with accomodation,car and scooter hire easy to arrange on most.

I'm told the primary concern is to avoid the midges.

Norway is lovely. I went in June 2009 as well as Sweden and Denmark. Flew to Oslo Torp with Ryanair, which is about as close to Oslo as Lancashire is!! I just spent a day in Oslo, three in Bergen and one doing the Norway in a Nutshell tour. It is a very easy place to get around - transport is cheap and frequent. The Bergen-Oslo line cost me £20 each direction and is the most picturesque journey I've ever been on.

Went to the Atlantica Golden Beach in Paphos last June. It was so brilliant that we are going again two weeks today (2nd September). It's a Thomson Gold hotel, no kids. Paradise. Expensive but well worth th money.

Had a long weekend in Dublin last weekend. The pubs and social life are outstanding, locals are very friendly and the Guinness is great.

Ibiza next for me......Been before, should be good!

The best place in the world without question.

I can question that

Nice island mind you

You probably just couldn't handle it

In all seriousness, best place in the world is impossible to determine....for what it is, nothing comes close to Ibiza, not even Vegas or Cancun which I've also been to.

[Tom]

Never been Vegas but massively Prefered Cancun to Ibiza, better beaches and sea and I Prefered the nightlife.

Then again I was only 19 last time I went to Ibiza that was 9 years ago!

My ideal destination these days is always Disneyworld, hell for many people but it doesn't get better for me

Not even close to Queenstown New Zealand, bungee jumps aplenty, climbing, skiing, paragliding, white water rafting, speed boats etc etc awesome place with many things to do

I know where my first stop on my round-the-world tour in a couple of years will be then.....has anyone been travelling? Where do people recommend? The general consensus when I was at Uni from those who had been was Indonesia was the best, followed by New Zealand.

[roverandout]

[Tom]

Nicko looks like Donald off the tv show benidorm and some say abbey looks like mick Garvey (just don't tell him he gets upset) if that helps

[roverandout]

I've been to Ibiza and Cancun, both great places. My favourite is the Maldives though - heaven on earth.

Queenstown is a great place. In summer (Dec-Jan-Feb) great for walking/climbing and all the things mentioned. Whilst down there you could do the Milford Track. Something like four days, but you have to book your spots. .

In winter, it's a skiers paradise.

Check out Wanaka, it had a great boutique brewery last time I was there

[Sparky Marky]

Currently in Tuscany for the umpteenth time. I can highly recommend visiting Siena(the atmoshphere is amazing)...Florence and Pisa....diet of pomodore..mozerella...olive oil and basil...just beautiful.

Bloody hot too...!

[broadsword]

Was in Florence/Rome two weeks ago.

The ice creams in Florence are out of this world.

[Sparky Marky]

Florence tomorrow...I shall sample.

Going to Skiathos in a couple of weeks, never been before looking forward to it.
