    I'm trying to send my sons and husband on a man trip at the end of September and everywhere I've suggested is pretty much booked up.

    Warsaw has a film festival that is on the week they can all get. Budapest is too expensive and one son won't go to Berlin. Even Gdansk is pretty much sold out. (Bear in mind, I'm looking at airfare from western Canada)

    Budapest is cheap when you get there, if that helps!

    Still nothing booked up for 2018 as work has been crazy so far this year. I may have a window for a last minute break in the middle of May but if I do it will just be somewhere cheap and warm-ish.

    I did have plans for a week split between Helsinki & St Petersburg but we're sticking to Finland now. Only 5 weeks until we fly but fortunately hadn't booked anything so it's easy to change our plans.

    I also have a couple of week in the Philippines for November.

    I am going on an Explore tour from Budapest to Prague via Bratislava and Vienna in late June. I will also be in Bologna with a brief stop off in Venice in September. I may book a trip to Romania in October.

    Why is one son so against Berlin? I really like it there and it is one of my regular stop offs for a short break.

    We've had a week in Fuertaventura in February, and we are going to Rome for four days at the end of this month.
    Four days in Spain with my daughter in June and Majorca for a week on July.

    Long weekend in Dublin in May with a friend as well. We've also been to Brighton and London this year for weekends.

    Week in France in September.
    we'll also have a few weekends away locally in our campervan weather permitting.

    Meant to say this is more holidays than we normally have. We used Avios for the Fuertaventura flights and for the ones to Malaga.
    Also, the accomadation costs for both of those trips were absoloute bargains!

    If you not been to Malaga before, it's a lovely city. Most people skip it completely in their rush to get to their sunbeds.

    We're actually staying in Benalmadena Pete. Lovely apartment near the beach. Went to Malaga last year in it's own right though for a city break. Like many people, we've flown to it numerous times but always on our way to the coast.
  • Italy for me, as usual. A week at lake Garda, then a week in Milan, including two days at the Italian GP.

    I expect as usual everyone I talk to in Italian will reply in English :rotfl:
