Where are you going for your holidays 2009?

I don't think he knows himself. Won't be the long flight, he is used to that in his job and does not mind. I am sure he would go if there was a reason, like family or so, it is just going there with me that is probably why he does not want to

Canada is truly beautiful I loved Vancouver - the place is amazing so much to see if you get the chance go and spend some time on Vancouver Island.

So to go to Australia you will need about 3 weeks I will remember that. Was there a lot of creepy crawlies there? Did you just stay in the city or did you get to explore the outback too?

I did both. I'd say spend time doing what you want in the city then just head out into the bush so you don't have to keep going back and forth.

I guess there is creepy crawlies, as with every hot climate, but they probably have provisions there like helicopters in case you get bitten by something dangerous. I think there are some places you are not meant to swim, because of jellyfish. But I never had any problems with bugs or anything while I was there.

Awww lol. Well just gently nag him you will get there in the end.

wow some of you have been to loads of places! ive been to jersey, wales, france, italy, belgium, austria, canada (toronto, calgary, banff and vancouver), america (new york, san francisco, LA and las vegas), australia (sydney, melbourne, cains and brisbane) and new zealand (auckland). theres loads of places i wanna go though, i love travelling!

[di marco]

my mums changed her mind again! apparently we are not going to canada anymore but might be going to jersey instead

I have been there once years ago and loved it. The food was great, got to tour the island and I remember staying at a place called Hotel Bergerac where they had the car from the show Bergerac in the foyer!

ive been about 3 or 4 times before. it is nice there though

Loved it there you can put on weight when there as the dairy products are so rich tasting and don't feel like their full of artifical stuff.
I remember visiting the shopping area in St. Helier near where we stayed they had the department store- de grunchy- I wonder if it's still there?

i love the icecream its so nice! we stayed in st helier before too, dunno where we are staying this time. never heard of that shop, ill let you know if its still there!

You need a minimum of three weeks in Australia, I'd probably think you'd need a week minimum for each city. Plus any travelling in between/stopping off to see places inbetween

i agree. we went to australia and new zealand for almost 4 weeks and went to 5 different places and i could have stayed a lot longer. definitely need plenty of time, especially as it takes so long to get there!

when i went the only place they really warned us about creepy crawlies was in cains cos of it being tropicalish! i didnt get bitten or anything though or even really see anything dangerous! it was a bit scary to start with though having to remember to look in your shoes before you put them on and completely in your bed incase anything was in there! although i think australia is meant to have 8 out of the 10 of the worlds most poisonous spiders or something?

A friend of mine used to live in Australia and he said he only saw one poisonous spider in the two years that he lived there and snakes aren't that common in urban areas.
