Xela Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 The start of December seems a good time as any to launch this annual thread. So, what has everyone got planned for 2015? Last couple of years have been a bit poor for me due to various reasons from buying a place of my own to good mates becoming parents and not having the time to go away. Want to try and remedy that in 2015. Want a few more city breaks... really fancy Reykjavik and Vienna. Also Budapest in tentatively pencilled in for March. For a main holiday then Japan and/or South Korea is high on the list (again!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I didn't go any where new this year. It was just repeat trips to places I'd already been, it was the first time in years that I hadn't gone to at least one new place, so next year I'll be mainly going to places I've never been before (hopefully). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Im going to Paris this spring to watch the guy on my pic. For the summer Im thinking of a longer trip in the US. East coast from north to south is the most likely right now but that might change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnie Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) France in March for my mates 30th. Kayaking, Skydiving (ill hold the bags no way am I doing that) and climbing. Not my cup of tea but should be a laugh. In June im going on a 19 day tour of Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil. Its with Travel bag. Only ever booked flights myself off Skyscanner and hotels off booking.com before as never been keen on package deals so don't know what im letting myself in for. This is a tour group costing £2999 each which is decent for what we get to see just hope we have no annoying Yanks on our tour. Hopefully a City break in November to Istanbul or give Budapest a second chance as hated it first time I went.

omariqy Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 After an eventful 2014 (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and Argentina), 2015 also looks pretty good. Planning on going to Dubai in January as the wife's cousin has invited us to house sit whilst he and his family are away. I am not that keen on Dubai but it's free accommodation. Planning on going to Thailand in May then off to a wedding in Goa in October. Racking up the miles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 For a main holiday then Japan and/or South Korea is high on the list (again!). Do it! As I never gave you that write up, the least I can do is give you advice if necessary. 2014 was more eventful than I could really afford (Germany, Brazil, Mediterranean Cruise, Japan and Korea), so this year will probably be a bit lighter. My annual German football weekend is a cert and looking at meeting up with a few mates who are doing the Camino de Santiago hiking trail in Northern Spain. Maybe get the initial 10 days of the hike in. Hopefully life will allow one more break somewhere as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcarpet Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I've got a couple planned for next year after this year was so good. May - Berlin for 4 days with my football club for a 'Tour'. Never been to Germany but I've heard good things. June - Out to Valencia for a week to see friends September - Italy, most probably Rome again and then a couple of nights in Venice. I absolutely love Rome and my mrs have never been so I'm really looking forward to this one! October - Reykjavik for four nights where hopefully I might be able to catch the northern lights too. Only booked the first two so far but hope to get the next two done in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdabush Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Really want to get away in January for a week but want to go somewhere which is relatively warm and that is doable in a week. Any suggestions? I'm guessing Dubai is an option but can't afford to be spending a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relaxing by the pool or actually doing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relaxing by the pool or actually doing something? Went there in September so am looking elsewhere for the next holiday. I really don't mind whether it's just to relax or do something beyond that. I have to say I'm not one really for the Costas and I want to get away to wind down after what will be a really hectic Christmas period so I'm not fussed about nightlife etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I'm off to Dubai for Christmas ...
