I love to see old stuff, visit historical sites and museums. I love to be driven through scenic places, especially the deep dark woods. Some of my most memorable and enjoyable vacations were when I would fly across the country to visit my dearest friend and do all of the above and then some.luckyzmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176703683321469118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-51664245420470909572011-02-28T10:57:39.594+00:002011-02-28T10:57:39.594+00:00I don't really know what I want.

I'd really dislike that, unless it was with a few friends to places of our collective choice. Much prefer holidays with a purpose, preferably musical. And I have this inconvenient and very restrictive thing about not going to places where I can't speak the language. So maybe Norfolk is out.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14227767014123557100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-71432671869543932402011-02-28T10:30:55.530+00:002011-02-28T10:30:55.530+00:00I'd never really done holidays until I got mar...I'd never really done holidays until I got married, and as my wife and stepdaughter both like them, we go away occasionally. As we live in a landlocked county, the sea is always good.<br /><br />When I'm travelling though, mostly I like to be away from people who speak English. Especially English people.badgerdaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275758525851693777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-21986290294903959542011-02-28T08:50:30.711+00:002011-02-28T08:50:30.711+00:00What`s my perfect holiday? - I guess it`s one wher...What`s my perfect holiday? - I guess it`s one where I`ve time to do what I want to do - whether staying at home or a break away.<br /><br />Walking along cliffs or sea-shore, not bustling seaside resorts though, or exploring places. My favourite holiday was a few days in York, exploring all the narrow streets and the Minster.Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984981877936138387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-5209030548078032022011-02-28T07:59:19.414+00:002011-02-28T07:59:19.414+00:00Hmmm...I shall have to think about that.

When I was with the Viking, we went to Dublin and that was really good. We saw stuff together and then parted company when I wanted a snooze and he wanted to go and see things.Roseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469442580348062913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-18362868229055035162011-02-28T07:38:21.162+00:002011-02-28T07:38:21.162+00:00You may recall that I walked the Pennine Way a few...You may recall that I walked the Pennine Way a few years ago. Walking in countryside more rugged than Norfolk, and getting away from people, is what I really enjoy.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-48475725993389941312011-02-28T06:09:39.900+00:002011-02-28T06:09:39.900+00:00Anywhere that is pretty, be it by the sea, woodlan...Anywhere that is pretty, be it by the sea, woodland, mountains, moors, preferably out of season so that there are not many people.

I love cities, like Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin. I have just booked a 5 day trip to New York with my sister and the girls which should meet all of our holiday needs! I know what you mean about the enforced sociability of the cruise situation too. I found an element of claustrophobia on the walking holiday last year, but the scenery, the sheer niceness of most of the people and the good food made up for it - and it was only for a week. The problem with the cruises is that you only get a few hours anywhere and that is just not enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-53090602756598715252011-02-27T23:07:28.796+00:002011-02-27T23:07:28.796+00:00Have to be doing something on holidays.
