With the nights starting to draw in by this weekend and winter being well on it's way, where is 'trending' as a fashionable destination this coming frozen season.

Yes, it's useful to know where is "trending" and "fashionable" so us Money Savers can avoid the places.

I am off to Oz for Christmas and New Year. DD is out there at the mo, so will visit her in Melbourne and then off to Perth for the festivities.
It will be my 10th visit - and guaranteed good weather at that time of year.
Can't wait :dance:

I went to Melbourne in their summer & it rained! Maybe Perth is more guaranteed.

I want to go back to Vietnam but the town I want to visit has their rainy season the week I have off work

I'd have a small wager on the following as being popular for this winter for those looking for warmth and sunshine;

Going Down

Tunisia ( decline continues...)

what do you mean by this? I am going to Tunisia in November for a cheap and cheerful bit of sunshine. Is it pretty rough?

Me too, B*gger.

The 'Great Ocean Road' is just like Cornwall in the driving rain,
miserable, chilly and wet.

I think it's more the anti-Western attitude that some locals are displaying following the interventions in Mali and the artefacts of the uprising a couple of years ago that are turning a lot away from Tunisia as a holiday destination.

I'd definitely avoid mountains though

Just take normal safeguards to keep yourself safe and all should be well
