Any Holidays Planned This Year?

[Treffie]

Ok, I've narrowed my list for a week's break this summer, I think it's going to be Canada (again). Not sure where exactly, it could be St John's, Halifax, Winnipeg or Edmonton. Sorry Aemms, I won't be gracing Ottawa this year!:mad:

Anyone else planning or planned a holiday this year?

[Absinthe]

I am thinking of planning a spring trip to Latvia, Estonia and Finland. :)

[Vargtand]

well I'll be going down to the netherlands during easter if I can pass my tests :P

A snow trip may be on the agenda for my family and I. Either in our Snowy Mountains or NZs South Island.

[Fortis in Arduis]

I am thinking about a spell in New Zealand after the summer is over in blighty. :D

I think that I would head for Auckland or Christchurch.

It would be for work of some sort. My plans are fluid and I am just not sure what to do.

[SwordoftheVistula]

I have spring break the week of the 17th. I'm thinking of going to Europe somewhere, since flights are cheap and the dollar is strong thanks to the economic turmoil

I am actually thinking about taking a break in Minsk, Belarus, when I get back.

I cannot, however, go alone to Belarus. Anyone want to join me?

I think that Osiwu would like enjoy a fast weekend in Minsk... :D

If it's the week of the 17th, I'm down. I can even make myself a shirt, "I went to Ireland on St. Patty's Day...to change planes for Belarus"

It has, apparently, a certain time-warp appeal.

I would expect it to be very flashy in parts and worth packing the Dolce and Gabbana and getting into sort futuristic revival mood for and there will be a few places where the food is really good.

There is a full range of hotels from $20 to the very luxurious. I am looking for a budget stay.

I will probably select a hotel for good vaasthu.

I think that Minsk has poor vaasthu generally with the mitigating factor of an open space of water in the North-East.

Actually there are central apartments which are a good price when shared.

Just think of the mischief! :lightbul:

However, I am sorry to say that I will remain in India until the 15th of May. I really needed a proper break from my whole life, so I am determined to stick it out here. I just got a mobile internet connection so it is not all bad... here on the health resort... :( :)

[Absinthe]

I think Oswiu wants to go to Misnk! :) Also a friend of mine from Greece does. Around late May or so, after he attends a wedding in Lithuania.

We could go self-catering for a week, Wednesday to Wednesday perhaps? :lightbul:

Could you come along too? :)

It will have to be after 15th May, but I am free.......

[Absinthe]

That's about the time I plan on being in the baltic region. If not too costly, I maybe able to arrange a detour. :)

[Lady L]

We will be going here (http://www.beachsideresorthotel.com/index.htm) in July :D I can't wait!!! Gulf Shores, Al btw. :) You can view the virtual tour. :) :)

[Loyalist]

None this year, unfortunately; with school, as well as last year's trip, I've exceeded my spending limit. Next year is a possibility, and in that case it will be either Germany/Switzerland or Scandinavia. :thumb001:

Definitely New Zealand's south island. I booked for us to go at the end of August. Can't wait!

[Sarmata]

Maybe finally in August I will move my ass over 500 km north to Wolin, on "Slavs and Vikings festival" (http://news.poland.com/result/news/id/786)

[Osweo]

Norge, this year!

Hiking, sight-seeing and fishing with two Russian friends. (Well, one's Estonian/Hutsul, but you get the idea).

Oslo, then Flam to Andalsnes. :D

[Inese]

In summer we want to travel home to Latvia to visit friends and family!! I hope we can have two weeks but when it comes bad we have only 1 week there.

[Tabiti]

In August I may travel to Hungary for few days...
There will be probably some excursions here, but not planned yet. In fact, I have practise for professional qualification till the mid of August, so I really havo no idea how to plan my summer from now.

Get yer ass to Haugesund and I'll meet you there mate:)


I for my sake, are going to my uncle's farm and go hiking ass much as possible, with about 40kilo's off stuff in my back pack and a rifle, why? prepering for the army;)

[Beorn]

Ceallach saved the holiday tokens that the Sun newspaper was giving away, and booked us a two week break for the family near Cheddar Gorge.

Not bad for £40+.

We'll be going to that in the September period I believe.

[The Lawspeaker]

Jeg skal til Norge om sommeren. (God I hope I wrote it the right way). Me and a friend will be visiting the Bergen area and travel south following the Atlantic Coast. So mainly Vestlandet and perhaps a bit of Sørlandet.

Since my girlfriend will visit the Netherlands in september I don't have to save up for a trip to Texas just yet.

[Thorum]

My wife is going "home" to Blagoveschensk (Amur region) for 2 or 3 months with our 2 daughters. Their first time meeting their grandparents and great-grandparents. I hope they pick up a little more Russian language...

[Vargtand]

Nope nothing planned.

[Fortis in Arduis]

I am now attending a wedding in Belarus and then going on to Moscow via Riga, so yes, dreams do come true... Maybe this ties in with Absinthe's plans.
