My best holiday would have to be when i went to newquay with my mum,dad and best friend.
It had been a few years since we could afford a proper holiday and we had been to cornwall a few times and always loved it.
Little did i know at the time it would be my last holiday with my mum who sadly died the following year.
That is why it was my best holiday,all the wonderful memories.
Sorry to bring the mood down a bit!

Has to be the Sliver Wedding trip

3nts in San Fransisco, then to Hawaii, 5 nts Wakiki beach Honolulu, then Island hop to spend 5 nts on Kuai (where Jurassic Park was filmed), beautiful jungle interior ringed with golden beaches, then 3 nts in Las Vegas on the way home

Well, anyone that can put up with me for 25 years deserves something special

Best holiday for me has to be New Zealand. There is so much to see and do and the people are lovely. It's such a fantastic place that I went back again, and again....

My best holiday was when I went to Mykonos when I was eighteen, for three glorious weeks.

I'd somehow managed to save up for it myself, but a month before going was offered a job working as a wardrobe assistant on a film set, which paid fifty pounds a day, a fortune to me then. So rather than budgeting carefully, I had loads o' money to splash. A bonus, as it's notoriously expensive.

Mykonos was, and is, the most beautiful of the Greek islands, in my opinion. White washed windmills, flower strewn streets, and poodles wandering about in diamond collars.

As well as falling in love with the island, it was also the place I fell in love with someone else for the first time.

I made friends with some Austrian girls, and literally had the best three weeks of my life.

I returned at the end of September to go back to college, and someone I didn't know told my mum I looked like a Greek God, when she saw me walking down Union Road, all tanned, with my hair, which was long then, a la Greystoke film, bleached by the sun.

I've been back a few times since, but it never quite had the magic of my first visit.

The last time I went, I returned less Greek God, and more Demis Roussos.

I've been lucky enough to have travelled to many places in the world, but nowhere captures the excitment of that first trip to Mykonos.

I know I said earlier that I'd been spoiled with going on cruises, but two places in the UK I like are Great Yarmouth, and Carlisle, I've been to Yarmouth on a number of occasions, its very nice a bit like Blackpool only clean

I worked in Carlisle back in 1975, and stayed there for around 10 weeks without coming home, the people are great the beers good and there was plenty to do at nights. I have been back on a few occasions since, and caught up with old friends, but its a few years since the last time I made the trip
