Holiday Withdrawal Symptoms......Tell me where you're going?

Not posted on here for a while.

We did La Palma back in October. A canary island. Was lovely just how I imagine Tenerife or Gran Canaria was back before commercialism arrived.

Been popular with the Germans for years as it has a lot of hiking areas.
Very beautiful island, very quiet and lots of volcanoes!!!
A teeny bit too quiet for us, but we enjoyed the island anyway

What's Samui like these days? I used to love it about 10 years ago when you could get a beach bungalow for next to nothing. On my last visit 2 years ago I was disappointed about how developed it had become, especially in Chaweng where they were building a shopping mall and cinema.

Nothing booked for me at the moment. I used to like going away for a few days of sunshine over Xmas/New Year but the prices are getting silly so I now typically do a long weekend in February when it is much cheaper.

It's even longer since I've been, so would probably be well disappointed now. I loved it in the early days, as I did Phuket.

I never made it to Phuket (at least Patong) before the development and commercialisation came but hated it when I got there.

Where's the best in Thailand now for somewhere which isn't too busy but not too dead? I really like Ao Nang but I have been there twice in three years so fancy somewhere similar but different (or "same same but different" as they say in Thailand)

Last trip we headed north to Chiang Mai and Chang Rai but I missed not being at the coast

Have a look at Quy Nhon in Central Vietnam coast.
It's not on the tourist trail yet, but it won't be long.
Got 6 nights there in February, along with Hanoi, Bangkok, and Kanchanaburi.

A couple of months for me, where you staying as it's first time for us

Hi. We're staying at the
Affinia in Manhatten,- very close to Penn.station. it's a suite, though not as fancy as it sounds:)

We chose it because it has some cooking facilities and a fridge. Means we don't have to go out for every meal.

Not our first time in New York, but first time at this time of year. Hope we don't freeze lol.

Anyone got anything booked for next year yet? Corfu booked for .july, and flights to Malaga booked for February.

Looking at maybe a long weekend in April somewhere, not sure where yet though.
