Hey folks. Looking for inspiration. We’ve got a holiday (without any kids) coming up at the end of February and I’m looking for some ideas. Warm and good. Any thoughts?

Mauritius – best holiday place ever, i even got married there.

Kenya? 20 years ago but it was fantastic seeing heffalumps in the wild. Not that expensive either then
Seychelles was fantastic as well

Warm really means outside of Europe apart from the Canary islands where I did enjoy a holiday even if it was like blackpool but warmer

Those are kind of where my thoughts have been. Not massively keen on the Canary Islands … must admit.

South Africa, cheapish too, a friend recommended Namibia as well

Barbados.

Ljubijana. Not warm, but cheap, nice, a bit different. Trip to lake Bled is a must. once got properly monged in metelkova but that might not be your thing.

Toss up between hawaii and lake garda. Food better in garda….

Trinidad and Canada

Botswana, Namibia or Mozambique

Madagascar

New Orleans

Maldives, end of thread.

Canaries are shit if you have no vision or enthusiasm to go anywhere other than where the tour and transfer buses go. If on the other hand you have a bit of a sense of adventure and don’t mind hiring a car then they’re a great source of cheap flights and accommodation out of season. Lanzarote or Tenerife for the win.

Helps if you can lead a conga or start a rendition of Agadoo though 😉

If you want somewhere off the beaten track try Lord Howe Island.

South Island New Zealand

Or St. Martin’s IOS

Cardiff?

Either Zimbabwe or India.

Costa Rica probably.

Wow, Lord Howe island looks interesting. Bet there’s some big fish around those parts. Have you actually been Scuttler or is it a google maps fantasy like my Micronesia surf obsession?

NZ and Chicago at Christmas.

Leeds then Cairns

@themilo.

Been 🙂

Truly remarkable place that I saw a picture of when I was a kid and then many years later lived in the neighbouring (600km away) part of NSW at Port Macquarie that LHI shared the phone book with. Naturally I took the opportunity albeit via Sydney as that’s where the daily flights go from.

My parents who frequently go to Oz just came back from there after 10 years of me mithering them to go and they were equally impressed.

I will go back even though there’s plenty of other places equally deserving – Marquesas Islands for instance which is harder to get to than West Cornwall in August.

Sri Lanka

Iceland. It’s warm indoors and definitely good 8)

February holiday?

Shirley that means heading to the slopes?

the-stw-ski-snowboard-thread-the-2016-2017-season

Argentina and Uruguay. It’s not even a contest.

Queensland for me.

east coast of Australia, East coast of thailand and Hong Kong are the only places Ive ever been to that are warm in feb.

Easter Island is pretty special.

Can also recommend Bora Bora & Moorea in French Polynesia and Aitutaki in the Cook Islands.

Whilst you’re over that way, you might as well pop in on New Zealand.

Warm and good.

Budget, or no expense spared?

Throwing the rest of my Pacific Island cards into the ring – what JimDubleYou said. NZ > Tahiti > Catamaran across Society Islands, LAN Chile flights to Easter Island > South America. Could be pricey though.

Sheerness

Western Australia last winter… Only holiday I haven’t wanted to come home from and cried when I got home.

Lesotho.

I’ve been many times. I plan to live and work there one day, even if only for a year or so. I have never, ever met a more welcoming people.

Warm in February? That rules out everywhere I’ve been. I’m thinking of Reykjavik for next February/March.

I think the best place I’ve been is probably New York City but it certainly isn’t warm there in February. Nor I suppose would Vancouver, Banff, Canmore, Calgary, Toronto or Niagara Falls. Or Stockholm.

NYC

Reykjavik is wonderful, but Akureyri/ Myvatn are even better. Even in February. One of the most chilled and relaxed places to be. Husavik too, if you like whales, harbours and amazing seafood.

Lesotho.

I’ve been many times. I plan to live and work there one day, even if only for a year or so. I have never, ever met a more welcoming people.

My guide keeps on telling me to go there, and set up some mtb there…. will be there next winter..

Cambodia. Loved every minute of it. People, scenery, food… Fantastic
