This was our first 'really chilled' holiday. We would leave our swim up suite straight into the lazy river pool and float aimlessly around while drinking cocktails. Then maybe hit the beach while deciding which restaurant to go to....bliss!!

Viareggio is a seaside town in Tuscany, where the pace of life drops to a near standby. The beaches can get very busy, but the bigger hotels have their own stretch of reserved sunbeds,so never a problem. A good base to travel to Florence, Pisa etc.. Great food and wine.

This was our first December holiday abroad, and as we didn't fly home until three days before Christmas, it took away the 'end of holiday blues', as we had the festive period to look forward to. We will definitely do the same again sometime!

We chose this mini-break on the spur of the moment back in March 2008.  A colleague of mine had a flat in Marbella , and always spoke highly of the area..... so when we were offered a chance to try a new complex in Puerto Banus at a bargain price, we jumped at the chance.

Without doubt, one of our all time favourites. This destination had been on Lea's 'bucket list' for a long time, and came in between the weddings of our two sons and before our move down to Cornwall.......2019 is certainly a year we will not forget in a hurry!!

This was our 4th holiday in Vegas, and my personal favourite, because for 10 days both our sons joined us out there. We had some fabulous meals, saw some great shows and generally just had a fun time. Unfortunately, I didn't win anything at the tables. Still..... great times!!
