Dont think we're going anywhere, Roberts only 4 months and we dont want to take him abroad.
A word of warning re Haven holidays, well Perranporth Haven, dont go its awful, we had 2 weeks there last August, paid more for a "gold chalet", which cost us the same as 4* Cyprus, it was small, dirty, the wallpaper was coming off the walls and the matresses stunk of pee!

On the good side the beach was lovely and so was Cornwall.

I really love Malta. I lived there for two years back in the late seventies as my husband was stationed there. My daughter was born there.

I've been back a few times since. The last time was around seven years ago when Sam and I had a girlie week in Buggiba. Did we have some fun!! It isn't a bit like Blackpool. There's a nice plaza which is pleasant to spend time in. The Maltese don't seem to worry about children having high spirits. As mentioned in a previous thread, they are so friendly.

I want to go now!!

I haven't been back up there since the 70s. My mum used to bring us to Fenway Park to watch the Red Sox play every year. We'd walk the "heritage trail,' go to the aquarium, watch the street performers (performers not walkers

) and taste/smell the wonderful smells of the foods being hawked!

I'm afraid to go back and see it's changed alot.

Also, per usually, will try and spend 4 or 5 days up in Rhode Island. There we'll hangout with our families, eat GOOD seafood, go to the beach, etc. Hope fully this we'll get over to Newport and maybe even Boston.

All this talk about malta is making me pine ....lol!!! I used to go every year from being 13 up until about 12 years ago... loved it over there .. stayed in mellieha ,buggiba and st julians ...loved st julians for the night life bet not good for families due to it being very noisey till early hours....

These days ive settled for the quieter life of touring in the caravan and in 4 weeks were off up to the solway firth again for the first weeks holiday but hoping to get down devon for another week in the summer , but due to my daughter sitting her exams this year we,re working around her at the mo..

I've looked at getting a caravan but my car is getting a bit too old to start having a tow bar fitted. Might look again when I change car.

Steeljack may be right folks. None of our relatives are out there so it's gotta be more relaxing. Although my understanding Steeljack is that spanish is now the official language of California!

Also, according to Rhode Island Irish and Italians, they know it all (except how to drive and keep roads paved!).

What better place to go in the US but Virginia. Heck, it was good enough back in 1607 for the Brits. Come on back and see what the Jamestown colonization hath wrought. Lots of activities to celebrate the 400th anniversary.

You've got the beaches, the Mountains, Civil War sites, Revolutionary War sites (Yorktown bring back any memories?

), Washington, D.C. sites, wineries (chin chin), NASCAR, International horse shows, hiking, biking, fishing, Professional baseball, the homested of that great carpetbagger LancYorkYankee, etc.
