Holidays. Where do you want to go on Holiday this year?

[Midnight Georgia]

I'm already dreaming of escaping the dull UK weather searching for some rejuvinating sunshine.

[StringTheory83]

I've booked Malta for June

[FrostBear]

Greece bekons for my May school hols. Skiathos

[DiamondDallas_X]

Mexico before the World Cup for me

[FrostBear]

I havent booked yet. But Beniform sounds cheap as chips for me

[Myles]

Agree, and the implications are bigger than most people realise. This feels like one of those topics where the longer term effect matters more than the daily noise.

I will keep following it

[Inland Sienna]

Fair point, that is a better way of looking at it. I appreciate people explaining the detail rather than just the headline.

That helps a lot actually

[HitmanMarcus94]

Somewhere in Greece is still at the top of the list for me.

Good food, warm evenings, little tavernas by the sea and enough history to wander around when you've had enough of the beach. That combination is hard to beat .

[Piston]

Japan keeps creeping higher up my list every year.

Not exactly a typical sunshine holiday, but the mix of old temples, modern cities and amazing food looks like the sort of trip that sticks with you for years rather than just giving you a tan.

[Evan0]

The older I get, the less interested I am in rushing around trying to tick off ten attractions in a day.

A small coastal town, a decent book and somewhere that serves good coffee sounds like a much better holiday than standing in queues all week.

[Cass]

Scotland, believe it or not.

Everyone jokes about escaping the UK weather, but on a good summer day the Highlands are absolutely stunning. The trick is getting one of those good days .

[Kev96]

Portugal has been recommended to me so many times that I feel like the universe is trying to tell me something.

Apparently the food is fantastic, prices are still fairly sensible in many places, and the coastline looks incredible.

[Andy99]

Can't say I'm chasing guaranteed sunshine anymore.

One of my favourite holidays involved walking around old castles in slightly miserable weather. Somehow it suited the atmosphere perfectly.

[DiamondDallas]

Croatia would probably be my pick.

Friends came back with photos that looked almost edited because the water was so clear. Every picture made me wonder why I still haven't booked it.

[Highland Dylan]

Sometimes the anticipation is half the fun.

Reading about destinations, looking at maps and planning routes can be surprisingly enjoyable before you've even packed a suitcase.

[NoMercyMatthew89]

People underestimate city breaks.

A long weekend somewhere with museums, good restaurants and plenty of walking can be just as refreshing as lying on a beach for a fortnight.

[Molly28]

One thing I've learned is not to cram every day full of activities.

Leaving room for random discoveries often produces the best memories. Some of the nicest places I've found weren't even on the itinerary.

[Bright Hermit]

Everyone has that one place they keep returning to.

Some people think it's boring, but there's something comforting about knowing you'll have a great time instead of gambling on somewhere completely new.

[Always_David72]

One year I'd love to rent a cottage somewhere completely isolated.

No constant notifications, no schedule, just countryside and peace. That sounds more luxurious than a five star hotel these days.

[MJF02]

My ideal holiday usually revolves around food first and scenery second.

Some people come home with hundreds of photos. I'd probably come back talking about one tiny family-run restaurant I stumbled across.

[Kernel]

A road trip around Ireland appeals more than sitting in one resort.

Stopping whenever something interesting appears sounds much more memorable than spending seven straight days beside the same swimming pool.

[George94]

A cruise has never really appealed.

Nothing against them, but I'd rather spend several days getting to know one place than constantly unpacking and repacking for the next stop.

[Ava50]

Whichever destination you choose, giving yourself an extra day before going back to work is one of the best travel tips I've picked up.

Coming home late on Sunday and starting work Monday morning always felt like the holiday ended before I'd even unpacked.

[Puma22]

Spain still wins for me.

It's familiar enough that travelling feels easy, but every region has its own character. You can visit several times and still have plenty left to explore.

[Shannon44]

Norway is on the bucket list, although my wallet starts crying just looking at hotel prices .

Still, those fjords look like something straight out of a painting.

[TokenStream Cheetah]

Iceland isn't exactly the answer if you're escaping for heat.

The scenery looks spectacular though. Volcanoes, waterfalls and black sand beaches are a pretty good trade for thirty degree sunshine.

[Cheeky Shaun]

Italy keeps calling my name.

Every region seems to have its own food, architecture and atmosphere. Even if the sightseeing disappointed, which seems unlikely, at least the meals wouldn't.

[LuckyDrifter]

Turkey offered great value the last time I went

Lovely beaches, friendly people and portions so generous that skipping lunch became a realistic option. \

[Emily81]

There's always that moment when you spend months planning a holiday, then half your suitcase ends up full of things you never use. Every single trip. \
