1960maaan Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 All feels a bit rushed , but after 14 years I am getting married . Next July so I am after interesting and sunny potential destinations. We will have a few days at Burgh Island in Devon straight after the 'do' and will probably go away in September . I have had a knock back for Japan or China, the Amalfi coast is a possible but have no set plans. I think I saw that Bali was wet then so any where you can say this is the place and it won't cost £20k a week as I saw for one place, and 2 safaris. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"As we stand outside the local watering hole named The Seagull, we spot the long legged Pontins dweller and his mate, weary eyed after too much watering. It appears that the male wishes to mate as he begins to perform the wobble dance and exposes his rear to the female to which she applauds. They begin to cuddle and sway and occasionally tumble as they follow the sand track behind the watering hole, that leads to the secluded beach where the animals can procreate to the sounds of the mud flapping and slapping as the tide moves in and out..."

Thanks in advance We did Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC and then flew to Los Angeles and drove up the coast. We stopped in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Cambria, Monterey, Santa Cruz and then finished off in San Francisco which was probably the weakest part of the trip. An amazing honeymoon but a lot of travelling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Mauritius was very nice, mid to high 20s in June, friendly people and great food. Not replete with nightlife or touristy days out, just beach relaxation which was fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Got married on a Friday, went up to AG for a home game v Hull on the Saturday and straight down to Salisbury afterwards. One night there and then across to the Isle of Wight for a week. The new Mrs RRH wasn`t best pleased though when I went up to Oxford on the Wednesday for that Zenith Data Systems cup game where Dave Rennie blasted his penalty out of the ground - particularly since it was her birthday too! Left the IOW on Saturday morning and drove to Ipswich for an away game. Amazing she`s still married to me really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Burma is amazing, the people are very welcoming and not too spoilt by tourism which is just taking off . You can visit temples , see artisans making lacquered items , jewelry etc , go to Lake Inley and finish off by the ocean at Nyapoli beach and still have change for bag of chips .

And Its Smith Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Croatia is fantastic. Split and Dubrovnik. For City breaks I've not found one better than Berlin. If you want something a bit more exotic then a couple of weeks visiting Hong Kong, Vietnam and other areas around there is very nice mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Try Palawan in the Philippines if you want to go somewhere really far and exotic. If you want somewhere closer to home, Barcelona is a great city, loads of hotels and really easy to get around and see the sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy31 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Cathedral Cove? Hot Water Beach? (dig your own hot tub) Pool? The Coromandel weather is sub-tropical, so you'll get warm weather and not too many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue is Hubby will want a traditional Maori tattoo done with a chisel. Probably a huge strip across his face. So will have to wait til he abandons that thought.
