    What about yourselves?
    La Gomera ((Canary Islands) to stay in a Parador for a week in April. Then Isles of Scilly (St Mary's and Tresco) for a couple of weeks in July. Off to France in August visiting various friends in Brittany, Burgundy and Avignon) then finally three weeks over Christmas in the south of Spain. Oh, how I love being semi-retired!

    Next week, Bali and Komodo for 6 days. In March, 2 weeks in a camper van South Island New Zealand. After that, back to UK and home for a proper holiday, ie 30 plus years of retirement, hopefully....
    I can't recommend Bali highly enough, provided you stay away from Kuta. Perfect temperature, great beaches, lovely people, very cheap to stay and live (air bnb has some outrageous bargains) and plenty of cheap airfares if you're on a budget. Just keep an eye on that volcano mind...

    I find travelling to Cusco to be dreadfully sad. It's awful seeing the ruins of the Inca empire, destroyed by the Spanish.

    You need to treat yourself to something special once it’s over.

    As for my holiday plan? It will be 10 days in Spain or Portugal though tbh I’m just as happy staying at home and since retiring have big plans for a vegetable garden.
    Holiday to Spain, classic Brit tourist.

    I thought China was totally ghastly.I stayed in the most melancholic town in all of history, called Fangshan. What a dump.

    Just to search something online took 5 minutes. It had to approved by censors first. I was tempted to search (they don't have Google) Tiananmen square massacre but I decided that I didn't like Gobi desert gulags.

My wife has the travel bug which I benefit from, as she does the arrangements. Most recently with a friend, 3 weeks in Devon and London.
    Devon - what a special place. Sidmouth is so pretty.

    Going to Cuba (at least when I went) is like stepping back in time. The sanctions had that affect.
