Yes, it's coming up to the holiday season here in the UK and northern hemisphere and time to break out those T shirts and shorts!

We're off to France and I can't wait; ferry is booked, but after that it's an open road, with no firm plans.

I am most looking forward to some warm sun and being able to swim in an outdoor pool.
A couple of years ago I would also have said, 'the food', but it's different this year, so perhaps I'll just say, 'the cheeses and fruits'

Where are you going and what are you most looking forward to?

Great thread! We are on the verge of booking our annual trip to Sweden (just got to make sure OH gets the time off work approved). Looking forward to being seen in a swimming costume without fear of frightening the locals!!! And being more nimble hopping in and out of boats etc.

I LOVE my holidays and make the most of the leave we get
This year we have booked 3 trips cos its hubbys 50th year and we are off to Mexico in 2 weeks time, then Santorini in september and St Kitts with friends in November

Lucky girl, me. Hopefully the beach body will be ready by September

Hols - how we love them don't we. My OH was made redundant last November and a few other things have happened which makes me think that we've just got to 'go with the flow'. I work part-time and it's not particularly exciting and I've been thinking of changing jobs. Well... along comes an email from a friend in Tanzania saying that now hubby's out of work would he like to come visit for a week and then housesit whilst they go on their annual pilgramage back to Sweden to visit family & friends. Now - how can you say no to that! So I've handed my notice in and we're off for 6 weeks in July/August - it'll be a trip of a lifetime. OH keeps telling people we're going SKIing (Spending Kids Inheritance) - our 3 kids are all early 20s now - they're going to come out and join us for 2 weeks on safari so at least they'll benefit from the SKIing. So excited - and like Caroline it'll be so lovely to look half decent in a costume again !!! Soooooooooo excited and truly appreciate how lucky I am - just need another half a stone or so off before July. Happy hols everyone - hope we all have a fab time, wherever we may be going

How fun! oh I wish I lived in Europe so it wasn't such a big deal to go to such great places. I suppose I shouldn't grump too much, since we do get to go to Paris this summer for 10 days We're really looking forward to it. We're renting an apartment for 10 days on Rue de Grenelle between the Champ de Mars and Les Invalides.

And yes, I am very excited about the food! LOL
