4 weeks today I'll be leaving for Rome ,Pompeii and Capri for 9 days,very excited.no flying this time we've booked a luxuria coach trip with all the tours, these are my favourite kind of holidays,nice bit of culture and fabulous shopping 😂😘

Take a lot of money if you want to shop in Capri. It is very expensive.

Looks like we will be having a second holiday this year in September. Not sure when or where yet but it will be abroad.

That's because you aren't used to stay-cation Lanzalover

Morning

I do like weekends away in this country if you could be guaranteed good weather we probably wouldn't go abroad as the UK has some really beautiful places for holidays/long weekends.
We are having a long weekend in Bath next month and Llandudno in October fingers crossed the weather is kinder.

Lucky you PF September is a lovely month to holiday in Europe.

Even with the hot weather here I still prefer to go abroad for the food, the more relaxed way of life at a much slower pace, the child friendly restaurants and bars and the clear warm blue sea. Also your money goes a lot further.

I like to go abroad because the hotels are better, everywhere is cleaner, the weather is more guaranteed and its excellent value for money. 

I have taken many breaks in this country and stayed in hotels and they really are not a patch on hotels abroad.  I did enough holidaying in this country when the kids were small and money was tight!

We don't, complain enough  .  I don't think that we say 'thank you' to those in service industries either.  We went to a Hotel in Brighton eversomany years ago and the on-line photos were great, think that they had nicked them off someone else's website 'cos the place was run down and needed several coats of paint plus a bit of organisation as the staff were Bulgarian.  However.  It was the most comfy place we had stayed in a long time  and on the back of that weekend we bought our Very Large Bed  .  I did have a chat to the Owner about the lack of organisation and he thanked me - they were new and he put my points forwards whilst we were having breakfast the next morning.  Quiet civilised.

My daughter and I stayed in a hotel in Bournemouth overlooking the sea.  the room we were given looked out on the car park. It was tiny. When you opened the bathroom door it actually hit the bed.  Every single drawer was broken. The room stank of mould. The wooden window frames were rotten. the wallpaper was all hanging off around the windows.  The bathroom was like something out of the 60s with the most ancient  shower head you ever saw with just a trickle of water coming out.  All the tiles were slimey and cracked.  We complained and they said they had no other rooms. I sent photos to the coach company we booked with and by the next morning we were given a large room with sea view, cane furniture etc.  It was by no means perfect but a lot better.  I have never encountered poor quality rooms like this abroad.
