Where do you go in March?

u2nick79

Hello all,

I will be 30 in March 2009 :T and would like to go away with the hubby for a week.

I am looking for ideas on where everyone else goes for a weeks holiday at this time of year? Asking now as I can keep an eye on the various weather conditions in different places.

If you have had a great time in the UK or abroad in March, please reply to this discussion and help us choose where I can celebrate the big three oh in style!

Thanks in advance!

It might help people if you gave a bit more information about what sort of things you like to do and see while you are holiday?

Beach/cities/culture/sightseeing/nightlife? Would you prefer SC/BB/HB/AI, how far are you willing to travel and what is your maximum budget?

My starter for ten is Egypt. A week in Luxor or a week on a Nile cruise. Nice weather and about a five hour flight from the UK so not too far for a week.

the gambia is also an option.
6 hour flight,no jet lag and a week in guaranteed sunshine (its 36 degrees at the mo according to the bbc) for about £300 each.

we went a couple of years back and although there isn't a huge amount of sightseeing etc to do there is enough to keep you occupied for a week (and to be honest there isn't much you want to do bar sit with a drink in hand in the sun)

Thanks for replies so far.

I am after any ideas what so ever. Any budgets from a tiny b&b in the yorkshire dales to huge blow out holidays. I am just after great times that people have had around March time.

Markymoo - went to New York last year as part of our honeymoon - fantastic! Hearty recommend the 3 hour boat trip which goes all round Manhatten - you see so much more you wouldn't expect. Most tourists go on the hour trip which seem to miss most of it all out.

How about a nice skiing holiday in the Alps (or further afield)?

I'm off to Athens - no idea what it will be like....

Amsterdam if you're a flower lover...you can include a trip to the Kookenhuif (spelling!!!)

*grins*. i'm kinda resident on the New York threads on this board, because i've been on *counts* 9 trip to NYC already, and my 10th is in 5 days time. Boat trips ain't my thing now, as i've done most of the tourist attractions that I want to do...
