    After going out this morning and losing all sensation in my hands and face only to come home to the agony of regaining said sensation, I got to thinking of sunny days, 28 degrees, warm evenings swimming in lakes and dusty, lift accessed trails. So I booked 2 weeks in Whistler at the end of August. I am a happy man again.

    So, where are you going/dreaming of going?

    Off to Australia in a couple of weeks for the whole of Feb. And in California / Oregon for the whole of May. Then back to Australia for November. Both holidays tacked onto work trips. I try to time them for the worst months (May excepted, I love May in England).

    Only thing planned is for Sept, few days @ Switchbacks in Bubion. 😆

    Possibly swapping caravan for motorhome which may dictate the rest of the year.

    MrsT is away for a week in Aug with daughter and grand kids. I might use that week to explore somewhere down the East coast/Northumberland/Yorkshire.

    5 days with my mates to Les Arcs in mid-July Chalet booked, flights booked – not sure how to get from Geneva to Les Arcs, but I’m at the point where worst case I’ll rent a car in Gen and drive over.

    A week with my Family to Brittany mid-August, not taking my Bike, hopefully the weather will play ball and I’ll lay by the pool and snooze for a week in between playing with the kids.

    sadexpunk – not stayed in Ca’n Picafort but it’s very flat round there (i.e. not especially pretty) and very touristy (mostly Brits I believe). But Mallorca being so small you’re not far from some interesting day trips so if the hotel’s a good price there’s no reason not to stay but just not hang around the town so much. Personally I’d look more towards Pollenca, where there happens to be a good bike hire place and easy access to the mountains.

    last two weeks in August here –

    http://www.lesalicourts.com/en

    going with my road riding buddy and his wife/kids (his Mrs and My wife are really good friends)
    All our kids get on well (have 5 of them – oldest will be 9) so it should be a blast.
    we’re taking the bikes – there looks like loads of quiet country lanes to ride on.

    Can’t wait.

    Just booked a long Easter bike weekend in Chiang Mai, with a trip to Rotorua expected in June (well, 9 days vacation with the wife but this time I’m allowed 3 days in Rotorua…with the bike), just need to figure out what to do for the October National day holidays, possibly a return to Bali.

    We are invading Normandy this summer, first ever proper foreign holiday “en famille”, as I believe they say round those parts.

    Though I got the ferry confirmation today and it appears that MrsMC has booked it so we are landing under cover of darkness, which wasn’t in the original invasion plan, though possibly a wise precaution.

    And she may have underestimated the length of a Skoda Octavia estate. Especially with a four bike carrier on the back……
