I don’t think I’ll be playing golf pal, the prices are really expensive, going with a couple of friends and their other halves, might get some crazy golf in. How’s life in Fleetwood? I’ve played that links course, tough track.

Lovely over here, different world to Oldham or even Blackpool (get in and out of there quick or early morning).I don’t think I’ll be playing golf pal, the prices are really expensive, going with a couple of friends and their other halves, might get some crazy golf in.

Not had chance to play golf yet with moving think it'll be next year now.
The links course looks fantastic but apparently has a big waiting list and is very expensive yet hardly anyone plays. The times I've been walking/cycling past it and it's nearly empty is criminal.
My favourite place Clearwater,stunning beach.Going on my first holiday since 2018, week in Orlando then a week in Clearwater, never been to the latter before, bit of a treat for Mrs H who has put up with a lot this past 4 years.
I’ve played it twice, the rough is unforgiving but that and the wind is it’s only defence, if memory serves there’s just the odd tree on there. Glad you’re enjoying it, the sea air must be great, hopefully see you next year, cheers.Lovely over here, different world to Oldham or even Blackpool (get in and out of there quick or early morning).

You’ll be bowled over by the friendliness of the locals in Toronto I went there a few years ago, had a map out looking for some place and a guy on his way to work approached us and asked if he could help, which he did, not an isolated incident.
Niagra Falls is good for a trip on the water but the Town is Blackpool with a big waterfall. Kiss me quick hats, tacky shops, amusement arcades, etc. if you go on a coach trip a visit to the Ice Winery en route is worth it.
Beautiful place but the highlight for me was a stop at Niagara on The Lake on the way to the falls. Unspoilt (at the time) village with the most amazing buildings and a Christmas shop all the year round.
In one of the shops the assistant noting my accent told me he was from Bolton and after a short discussion on schools it turned out that one of my friends had taught him! :-) Small world. Loved it all.
It was the beginning of December and they tested out the lights over the falls and it was out of this world. :-)

We've been lucky enough to have a month in Barbados, 3 weeks in Mykonos and 2 weeks in Majorca since February. I bloody love early retirement.

Salou the first week in September for 10 days, First time we've brought the kids to Salou so really looking forward to it. We went to Palma 3 years ago that was our last holiday abroad it was a lovely place and highly reccomend it.

We went to a Theatre on Yong Street (Jersey Boys) in Toronto and had a drink at the Interval, was talking to Mrs H and a woman around the same age approached us and said she could recognise our Ashton accents, she was from Denton, small world.

It’s a great place but very expensive, was over there for the test match, loved it but was eating beans on toast for a month upon return.

Took my daughter there when she was 11 and said I'd give her 10 euros if she went on the shambhala(Europe's biggest roller coaster at the time) with me.
Cost me 60 euros in the end, she loved it!

I spent 3 months there with work and didn’t have a great experience no doubt there are some places worth a visit but I gust found it all a but meh, luckily my company at the time allowed me a couple of long weekends in Hong Kong a place I would have in my top five places to visit.

As someone else says it can be bloody expensive but there plenty of local places to eat that are sensible. As with many places the exchange rate since June 2016 shafts us. I wouldn't go into debt to go there though as from May onwards the weather is more reliable in the med than the Caribbean.Barbados..wow I'd love to go there if I had the savings..would you recommend

If you don't mind me asking mate, what was it you didn't like? Nightlife? Scenery?

It was probably about 10 years ago and I just thought it all a bit dreary and grey, I just couldn’t get into the place, maybe I was missing a good guide, food was good mind but the Soju is lethal stuff I remember eating in some tented grill place sat on a bench drinking the stuff and the next minute falling backwards off the thing, the agent and locals had a proper hoot, I probably had better times in South China and Taiwan.
I am sure it’s got plenty of upsides but it just wasn’t for me.
