Would love to go back to New York, plus wouldn't mind California having seen the adverts on TV. Unfortunately due to us buying a house, we won't be going away for at least a few years.

I can recommend California. Its not as expensive as you would think if youre prepared for non direct flights. weve been to san fran a couple of times and its my favourite city in the us by a country mile. The drive down the 101 through Monterey etc is fantastic I'm a big Steinbeck fan and a visit to cannery row plus the Monterey aquarium was fantastic. driving around LA really does feel like youre in the movies.

On topic were off to paris in March for three days and I can't wait having not been for 20 years.

Just come back from New York, well early December and loved it. Sight seeing and plus the fact I love clothes shopping.

Just booked to go to Mexico for two weeks in August, Riviera Maya. Grand Palladium Colonial & Kantenah, five star hotel. Never been to Mexico so I'm really looking forward to it, can't wait.

I went to Riviera Maya in October last year - Grand Riviera Princess. Nice area - beaches are nice

Got a couple planned so far.

April - Every year the company rewards the top performing sales guys across Europe and take them on a VIP, all expenses trip somewhere. This year it is Turks & Caicos (Regents Palms resort) so going there with my partner in April - VIP'd through all the airports, fly 1st Class to Miami, all expenses can be put on room tab, presents every morning (bottles of whiskey, rum, champagne, ipods) - so yeah, kinda looking forward to that!

Got a familuy holiday in July to algarve and got a Villa just outside Albufeira and then got 2 weeks put aside in October to maybe head to the Canaries or Cape Verde for some late sunshine

Kavos is great for nights out but the place itself is filthy. I stayed in one night (too much the night before) and by morning my bed was covered in blood from all the mosuito bites on my body.

Anyone been to Magaluf and can you reccomend it?

I live in Cala Vinyes for the last 5 years and work in Magalufs no1 excursion, Pirates. I've been watching the shows on Magaluf and like always they show one side off Magaluf. Off course we have lots of clubs and bars in BCM square and "The Strip" but alot of stuff on these shows are set up for the programme. The 3 reps in the Lively hotel aint the reps in that hotel for starters, my job is to help the reps sell Pirates so i know the reps in the hotel. The sex games don't happen in the bar they were in. If you want the sex games and free bars you have that option but if you enjoy a good night out with a party atmosphere you'll be fine. Just for the record ive been in Hull since 16th Jan been out twice and ive seen more fights here than Magaluf.

If you want any info just give me a shout

I just got back from a trip around South America, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Columbia. Best thing ive done.

Going to Vegas at the end of the year, found a return direct flight and 7 nights in the Luxor for £800, anyone know if thats a good deal ? Also how much spending money for the week ? Want to do GC, spend some time on the tables, a few big nights out.

When are you going, if it's around Thanksgiving then it will be quiet and a lot of places closed. Gambling wise it depends what you play, I hated every minute in Vegas and I was there 24 hours, definitely see Freemont Street, the rest of it is Blackpool on acid.(IMHO)

The Hawiian Tropic bar is well worth a visit though
