2 years ago I spent 2 weeks travelling in Turkey by myself. It was beautiful and the people were very friendly.

Also spent 2 weeks in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands and even got married then and there!!

I went to Boracay Beach in The Philippines for two weeks. Talk about "wasting away in Margaritaville"!

A year (13 months, to be exact) traveling around South America was pretty good. It didn't always feel like a holiday, but as I wasn't working I guess it was, technically speaking, a vacation. I wish I could do it again!

Romania, Aug 2003: Mediaeval cities, beautiful countryside, great travelling companion, roasting hot weather, picnics, walks, and for once I came back with my wallet hardly any lighter!

Most recent 'holiday' (ok I'm cheating a bit here) - a day in Singapore to get my visa for Indonesia - such a civilised place didn't want to come back although spent far too much money on a "Singapore Sling' in the Raffles - well.......when in Rome and all that.

Other fantastic holidays - a long weekend in Prague, 10 days in Romania and various holidays in Turkey....(2 whilst I was working there).

Now future holidays would be more interesting........on my 'wish list' Zanzibar, Fiji, India, Pakistan, Estonia, Norway..........well most places really.
Next holiday - going back to Oman to see some friends and have a job interview, will also be spending a few days in Dubai.

Ummmm, I guess that in terms of sheer decadence and "aving it large" - Ko Phi Phi for Thai new year last year, so nice and hot, picturesque, cheap, friendly locals and friendly tourists....

For a more upmarket thing, probably my first weekend trip to Hong Kong (before I moved here), staying at the Hyatt and eating at all the nice places...

Ah, memories!

Well, one of my best vacations was going to Mazatlan,Mexico with my father in December. (when I was going to university) Beautiful weather! We played tennis,went parasailing etc. Advice regarding parasailing: When you're coming down, you HAVE to pull your cord at the right time. I saw an older man wait too long..and he came down with a thud and nailed a boat on the beach shore. We were at the ocean. I still remember his wife running to him and screaming. Shocked

Think I might give parasailing a miss... Confused

Wandering around the Peruvian Andes was the best fun I've had abroad.
