Russell Martin has a holiday coming.
If his Hols are anything like his tactics he won't get out of his own back yard. |  | | |

Noticed a Saints flag during the West Indies v England T20 cricket match on Sunday night. Barbados - never been, but wouldn't say no !!
Depends what you want and when......
I'm looking to get a bit of Skiing in and a warmer option
The Missus is currently looking at Lisbon / Porto for Spring
Between us, we have a 'short list' of about 20 holiday destinations, ranging from Alaska, Yosemite, and Tanzania, to Copenhagen, Giants Causeway and The Isles of Scilly. |  |

Isles of Scilly and Barbados are both nice places and worth a trip.
Not done Ireland or Dublin for a few years so maybe another short trip there is in demand, although avoid Temple Bar like the plague nowadays as it’s just another standard overpriced tourist hotspot now.
Thinking maybe a short trip to Turkey, but if funds permit maybe Asia or Central / Southern America (not done any of the latter SA Countries as yet). [Post edited 12 Nov 2024 8:39]

I've travelled South America a fair bit as i have family there, of the places i've been Venezuala was amazing especially the mountains and i really liked Argentina.
Both were before the current political situations though so i'm assuming they might've changed a fair bit.
But of all of the places i went the one i loved the most was Brazil. Rio is probably one of the best places i've ever been, and don't believe the stuff about it being dangerous, just don't act like a d*ck and you're fine.
Salvador was also incredible and the music there is everything you'd expect from Brazil (far more so than Rio interestingly), but it was a fair bit more sketchy and there were roads you just got a gut feeling you couldn't go down |  | | |

I preferred Porto to Lisbon although if you are staying for longer than a few days possibly Lisbon might be a better option .
Air Portugal were doing a good deal with regard to stop overs, ie fly to Lisbon or Porto and then on to another destination after a few days stop over |  |

Cheers Nick
The Missus has been before and wants to take me, as I've only been to the Algarve.
She also prefers Porto and was looking at a 3 night city break.
I would look at getting some football in whilst over there. | |

Can you fly to Portugal from Southampton or Bournemouth do you know? Bit of a snob when it comes to going to Europe in that I cannot be arsed to do London airports simply cos you spend more time there than travelling on plane.
Franniestache - think it will be a short trip to Turkey but deffo like the sounds of South America. Got a guy at work who is Brazilian and he said same, but to be honest he did say there are a few dodgy spots. Same applies in every country as well, travel like a complete numpty and you will always be prone to trouble. Respect the culture and people and nine times out of ten all is ok.
Remember a trip to Barcelona and being followed by pickpockets, so long as savvy and street aware generally fine. | |

There's more to do and see in Lisbon, but for Porto you can always add trips along the Duoro which is def worth it
