So I've just done the whole family holiday thing......first week back to the grind and want to go back on holiday :(

Thinking of taking Mrs leesparkykent away for a week the end of August as the mother in law has agreed to have the kids for a week.

Can anyone recommend best hotels, places etc? Plenty of food, drink, sun Etc.

if you and mrs lee are going away without the kids, you must go italian, Venice, Florence, Rome. any one will do.
 
I suppose it depends on what you want to do? The Canairies are always hot and sunny and Tenerife has the best water park going!!! If you are looking for something more relaxing, Cambrils near Salou is very nice and posh/expensive. It does have lovely little bars, restaurants etc and the harbour offers lots of excursions.

I personally like Benidorm!! Yes yes, I know!! Sticky Vicki has now retired but there are still plenty of other sites to see.

was thinking about the romantic aspect, not the stuffing yer face. no kids, italian hospitality, can't go wrong. you could even pick a date to coincide with F1 at Monza.

Yeah, you've just got to be careful which streets you walk down!! Last time I was there, I was pushing my little 1 year old girl in her pram and I was approached by someone trying to get us to go in this bar. He said there was a live sex show on at 3pm. I said I would but I am with the kids. He said it's Ok, it's a family pub.lol

Barcelona is very nice in the summer months, like everywhere on the continent it has better food and whether. I went to Prague for a short stop last year and was blown away how nice it was, although these are city breaks so not very lay about and sip Mojito's types of places. For that id go south of France or Spain.

I feel your pain, i went to Florida a few years back for 16 days almost cried on the way to work in the van the morning after i got back.

I cry when I go back to work after a long bank holiday weekend!! And that's when I don't actually go anywhere. All we can afford this year is camping in the lake district. Unfortunately we got to take the bin lids.

This years been expensive starting up aswell, I might go to Keswick this year for a spot of camping too.
 
I'm in Greece right now and it's very nice but if you are going with the mrs alone try thalaso Spa in fueteventura. I've been there 4 times. Also castilo beach in fueteventura is really nice. Both barcelo hotels very very clean and sooooooo much food
 
Love Italy, we tend to get a villa in the middle of nowhere - may head out for a meal once or twice but mostly just fend for ourselves at the villa. So much to see there, such a rich history. Florence this year, can't wait.
 
Rome is amazing, but it was not super relaxing.

How about Paphos? It is great there, or one of the Greek islands?
 
Love Cyprus
They also follow bs 7671 and all the sockets are the same as ours so no need for all the adaptors I bought o_O wonder if there is a shortage of sparks ?

There wasn't when I was there mind you that was 40 years ago
 
it's even warmer now if we are to believe the global warming prophets of doom.
 
Eyy ought, Eyy ought, Eyy ought to try that donkey milk - sounds earthy and something that would need to be sampled to be believed!
