Starting to plan Costa Rica next March 🦜

We had a great time there last year about now. Just a heads up on the "whale watching / dolphin spotting tours". Seems to be a euphemism for party boats. Never saw a whale or a dolphin but had a great time. Pic of another "whale watching" boat.

Perhaps Gozo but the cost has risen terribly since our last visit in 2013.
Edit: I have joined ‘my Jet2’ and have had some splendid offers so might be this year we go yippee

Won’t bother with that. I’m going for the birding and other wildlife

No caravan this year but booked up a fair few 'adventures'.

March - Prestatyn hotel for four nights over for two weekends, Llangollen hotel for two nights also.
April - Prestatyn - Camping on a basic site for 3 nights (with electric) !
May - Bala Lake, Camping on a posh site for 5 nights (with electric) !
June - MrsF away for a week in the sun
July - RAF Fairford for Air Show - Camping 3 nights - basic field, and night in Llangollen hotel for 'Madness Concert'.

Most likely more hotels/camping over the year. Nothing 'overseas' yet, but may save that for winter sun (when I generally need it).

I’m planning a cycling adventure in Portugal next year. My idea is to rent a bike and explore routes such as the scenic Costa de Prata Coastal Cycling Route, which runs along the beautiful southern coastline. This area boasts some of Portugal’s finest beaches and provides captivating views of quaint seaside towns and untamed nature. In the south, I’m also keen to traverse the Alentejo Wine Country bike route, pedaling through fields of wildflowers, vineyards, historic castles, and cork trees. Additionally, the Douro Valley offers an exceptional cycling experience, renowned as one of Portugal’s top routes with its awe-inspiring landscapes and dramatic vistas. After days of cycling, I look forward to unwinding and discovering hidden gems in places like Sintra. I also found some interesting day-trips like Monsanto, Monsaraz, and Peniche in here https://gowithguide.com/blog/tourism-in-portugal-statistics-2023-the-ultimate-guide-5600

Hello cycling enthusiasts,
I would like to take the bus to Dieppe in the summer and from there to Le Treport by bike. I plan to reach Dieppe in the evening from the Czech Republic.
You can spend the night somewhere in the wild (under the open sky) or you can arrange with the locals a place to spend the night peacefully in the garden.
The next day I would head back home.
I would go to Amiens - Saint Quentin - Arlon - Luxemburg - Trier - Bausendorf - Oestrich-Winkel - Aschaffenburg - Arnstein - Scheslitz - Cheb - Opava.
I have the crossing points planned, they are fixed.

Thank you.
