Holidays

Mrs H and myself off to the Far East in Jan/Feb, probably our last long haul trip, appreciate any tips.

Singapore - 3 nights
Cruise:
Ko Samui - 1 day
Bangkok- 2 days
Hi Chi Min City - 1 day
Na Trang - 1 day
Hong Kong - 1 day
Taiwan - transit only, cruise docks there
Kuala Lumpur - 3 days

Never been to that part of the world and was going to do a self planned tour but there's pitfall's for a couple of mid 60's travellers so we've gone for the easy option.

Any must see sights, recommended restaurants, travel tips, etc.

As an aside I only miss home games depending on the draw for the last CL round and the 4th round of the FA Cup. I'm assuming the Arsenal away game will be moved to the Sunday (all CL games following are played Wednesday at 8pm), if it is I'll be in a Bangkok bar cheering the lads on.

Nice one, should be a good do, we're in Singapore until the 30th then Koh Samui on the 1st! Be great for you to meet up with your daughter, sure you'll have a cracking time.

Cheers, going to keep this post in my photos along with a couple of others, didn't expect to get so much advice, really appreciated.

We're staying near Chinatown in Singapore but I've booked a hotel that's inclusive of all day snacks in addition to breakfast and from 6-8pm there free drinks so we'll probably go in there and have a few cocktails on the house.

Thanks for posting.

Quincy Hotel by any chance?

Though I think a few hotels in Singapore offer the all day snacks type thing.

Has anyone mentioned 4 floors of whores yet?

It's the Furama City Centre Hotel, by no means the most luxurious hotel in Singapore but it'll be fine for us, still quite expensive though but will save a few quid on drinks.

4 floors of whores? Sounds like a Steel Panther song.

Had a great day in Berwick Upon Tweed on Friday at a small but very good Lowry exhibition.
Saturday another great day at the Durham Minefs Gala day.Well worth a visit.
Yesterday, and today, in Anstruther.
A relaxing couple of days doing nothing but drinking and eating from the numerous chip shops,cafes and ice cram shops.
The only football top so far is a young lad with the new City top and Foden 47 on the back.
Sorry no photos.File too large for this site.

I'm off there next week. Can you recommend any trips? Thinking of trying to organise a boat tour if the weather is ok. Will probably do Seahouses and/or Eyemouth.

Not much in Anstruther itself.

St Andrews and Crail quite close
A nice quiet part of Fife great if good weather.
 
In addition to Rhodes next August Mrs J has booked a 4nighter for Seville in March to celebrate my birthday.
Typical woman missed out on a Seville v Bilbao game by one day :-) however there is this to consider
