faraway saint Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Maybe if I keep posting in this shithouse of a thread one of the moderators will come along and lock it. I actually feel sorry for the genuine, nice and fellow Saints supporting, guy that started this thread, Lochwinnoch Saint. Just like I and others have started a thread in the past either to ask fellow buddies for advice or to show interest in what we're getting up to on our well deserved summer holidays the usual forum trolls ruin it with their petty agendas and hatred. Indeed. Another "Please be my pal" attempt by the king of trolls. Back on ignore, have fun. Back on topic, nowhere, hope it's a nice summer.

Kombi Buddie Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 not booked yet but looking at somewhere in the med with a waterpark very close by. Any recommendations. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ednz Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 It's winter in NZ, however that means it will be sunnier and warmer than Paisley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Buddie Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Is Tunisia not where they filmed some of the Star Wars films? Aye, but they filmed the famous bar room scene in Greenock. Apparently they used locals for extras so they could save money on the make-up. I'm heading for Fuerteventura, me n Mrs Buddie have spent 6 weeks discussing costs vs hotels etc, then last night she said can we think about mibbe Greece as well. Eh, no, we've spent 6 weeks narrowing it down to 185 hotels in the Canaries, if we consider Greece as well, we might come to a decision by summer 2018.

billyg Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I thought it was Tenerife or Magaluf? Certainly when I went to Magaluf as a student people said "Ah, you're off to Shagapoof!" Torremolinos is now looked on as a gay friendly resort , if you book a hotel online you have to read the feedback carefully if you don't want to end up in one of the places that cater for them !

whydowebother Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Touring the Highlands and Islands first stop Loch Leven so we can visit Loch Leven Seafood restaurant which is a cracker. Then on to Sky , Harris , South Uist , Barra then the long sail to Oban for the ferry to Mull then back to the mainland for a night in Tarbet with its many fine eateries. Predications are this will be one of the warmest summers hope so. I was thinking of Lochwinnoch or Ardbeg , what would you recommend ?

KLM to Zagreb via Amsterdam. 5 hours between flights... wonder what I could do looking forward to the music and this http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/98/gallery/ Good to hear there's flights from Paisley International next year.

davidg Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Where are you staying in playa blanca and when are you there davidg Think it's July 4th I'm heading out, rented a wee flat/villa just inland from the harbour. First time I've rented a property out there, usually stay in a hotel. Looking forward to some quite chill out time after the madness of Disney, private pool for the wee yin and a nice roof terrace overlooking the sea for a beer at night.
