New York’s too hot and stuffy during the summer… hell, even the locals head up to Martha’s Vineyard then…

I found that with Florida, I needed another holiday to get over it. 2 weeks of theme parks just didn’t appeal to me, I like to relax.

Look at New York, especially in the summer when it’s hot. Great people and atmoshpere with loads to do, loads of hotels to choose from and plenty of planes in the skies around manhatten, if you prefer the beach then go to New Jersey for a bit of both.
Chicago, my personnal favorite as there is so many things to do and the people are so nice. Sears Tower is cool, great views from the 103rd floor. Do not go in October, this is when the Chicago marathon is which is what we usually go for and the hotels are jam packed and the marathon usually use the majority of all rooms in Hilton Hotels.
FLORIDA!!!! i’ve been here well over 30 times now and still have’nt seen everything, you do have the usual tourist attractions around orlando but you’ve some of the best beaches in the world, some of the best golf courses around the world and just really nice scenery that you can sit and relax.
If you want more of a “sit by the pool and and relax” trip then look some of the carribean islands or the indian ocean, south pacific ‘ish.

Thailand is extremely cheap to get to. We’re supposed to be booking our 28-night trip with Kuoni in March in the coming days. A 3-4* hotel for all 28 nights on room only basis plus flights with what is likely to be Thai again, sets you back about £900. What a bargain. Considering you would pay £1200 or more for 14 nights in the Caribbean, it’s a bargain.
Food is extremely cheap and great tasting, too. Thai curry dishes start at about 30p (from street vendors) and a real, top notch meal in a fancy restaurant would cost you about £2.50 per person. We even fed our family in pizza hut for just £7 including drinks.
Just up the road from where we stayed in Pattaya was a nice, family-run hotel which charged 400B a night for a room. This is a mere £6 and thats also for 2 people!! The hotel had a pool, a cheap restaurant and only a 3 minute walk from the beach. What more could you ask for?

Philippines! The fear of terrorism (greatly overstated, except in certain areas – which you stay well away from), has decimated tourism. But the people are great, and there are tremendous bargains to be had. If you want to make some flights, how about PAL from Manila to Puerto Princesa (A320) for around £80 return, and then a flight up to El Nido by SEAIR LET410 (45 mins) for £21, or even a 30day pass on SEAIR to travel the length and breadth of the country for $299?
And in Palawan, you could stay here for around £7 a night:cool:

For me has to be South Africa or followed secondly with New York.
South Africa has a lot to see and has the weather which makes it for me and the crime rate is not as bad as the media (sorry Ren) make it out to be. I have been over there about 8 times in the past 6 years and I plan to move over there next year.
New York the city that never sleeps again lots to see and do. All I would say is take plenty of money with you as I must have spent a fortune on goods which are upto 70% cheaper than here in the UK.
Long winded I know(sorry:eek: ) but my tuppence worth anyway.
