I get irritated by people who go to the same place, e.g. Florida, about seven times and think it's the best place in the world but they've never actually been anywhere else!

Me too. And what about the people who fly miles and miles and never leave the hotel poolside. Then they return and say they have been to the place - but they have never actually explored the country!

I worked with a woman who went to Benidorm every year for 2 weeks of sitting by the pool. She would always be pleased that she had knitted an arran jumper while there but never had any photos or anything to say about anything but the hotel bar and pool.


I also hate people who measure how good their holiday was by their tan.

My friend went to Egypt at Christmas. When I asked how it was he said 'yeah, it was great - we didn't bother with all the 'touristy' things like the pyramids...'

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

I love the Isle of Man and Cornwall/Devon. I am not an 'abroad' sort of person but I am going to the Canary Islands at Easter which is very out of character. Last time I went abroad was to Lille (France) for a lonf weekend in May about four years ago.

St Lucia is lovely! Not been since 1989 but wouldn't mind going back!

I think you need to go back. 16 years was a long time ago. You couldn't have been very old then. I have friends who have been and said it's a beautiful place.I always fancy going to the Maldives but have heard mixed reports.

The Maldives is another place on my 'must visit' list.  But that's because I'm a snorkelling addict.
