I just had a look for my next holiday and booked a couple of days ago my holiday for next year 🙂 I have been this year already and the work doesn't allow me to take another time off. However, where I am going next year it's just amazing.

To be honest KOP, I was at work when my wife told me she has a surprise. I roughly knew what it was as I was telling her for for couple of weeks that I am craving for another holiday. However, that it turned out Aruba that wasn't expected. She hasn't booked a package. We are going for 14 days pure heaven. Best months to go is actually any time as it's the best Caribbean island. It's the least rainy island it has 3 rainy days a month which is nothing as the rain is like a hot shower. Just make sure you are going out of hurricane season that's all.
I just can recommend carribean islands , once you taste them you won't to see all of them. If you need anymore infos let me know

Where have you been?

Kind Regards,
Ron

That's great spot though. I should go there to one day. What's Cyprus like any good ? How did you find it ? Is that expensive over there? What about the trips, did you with your partner on any trips?
 
Been there 4 times bud so have seen most of the major sites , been up in the trudos mountains freezing up there but worth going , jeep safari , various boat trips , turtle watching , sunset cruise , plenty of watersports to do if that your thing , mrs booked it in january online with Tompsons , prices are aboutv the same as here car hire is cheap though £20a day for a small car . cheers kop

KOP you should go one day to any of the carribean islands it is heaven trust me. I have been this year to St Lucia and I cannot recomm me it enough. It is such a great vibe over there and food it's incredible.
 
Been to Mexico and the Dominican Republic nice but the 10 hour flight puts me off , formentera is my favorite destination , 2 hours 40 minutes flight , then high speed ferry to the island , totally chilled out place will be back there next year . Cheers kop

Oh..so that's where the paddle board was invented.

Beautiful locations, beautiful beaches, beautiful weather.......not a wave in sight.

Might of been the original place where sailboards and wind surfers were invented, but there's no wind.

Evolution in progress.

What was the fishing like?

I might sound cynical, but we're in the middle of winter.
Those pics make me want to go somewhere sunny - albeit with a wave.

Grrrrrr I hate you KOP, now you put something in my head for this year 🙂 .. it looks pretty amazing ... I may go there to see how beautiful it really is. Pictures are always a little bit different but according to you it's amazing.
 
Zoom in on the bottom picture bud tell me what you see ????????. He he , Dont think you would regret it match Es pujols has plenty of bars and beachside restaurants and is a more lively place its real easy to get about, we stayed at the Rui la mola which is a more sleepy type place but is probably one of the best hotels i have stayed in check it out . cheers kop
 
You want waves oz look at fuertaventura , correlleco is the place to stay fishings great aswell 4 -3/4 hour flight like being back home cheers kop.

Get much / Any snow oz?

Based in Melbourne.
We get the odd sprinkling of snow on some mountains away from the city.
But we get a fair bit up on the mountains.
Closest one for skiing and snow sports is about a 3 hour drive and plenty more if you want to spend some more time in the car.

I'm not a snow person - as far as I'm concerned I would rather watch paint dry or grass grow than strap myself to a pair of skis or a snowboard.

Bit more of a flight for me than that.
I'll just stick to the southern coast of Victoria.
Water is cold most of the year - but you get used to it.
