Where to go for holiday

sandym3369 — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 11:14:39 GMT

Been looking at a few places. Bali, Thailand , Malaysia , Vietnam. and I just can't make up my mind. We have been to Bali so many times and Thailand 3 times. In a way I would like to try somewhere else to go but I don't know much about other places. We like Bali . We like to be right in the middle of Kuta so somewhere like that would suit us.
I fancy Vietnam but even though I Have been looking around I am still not sure of where to go. I would hate to go to a place that was quiet with ot much to do. So if anyone has any advice please help me decide where to go.

Singapore and malaysia is interesting coz' there's a mix of chinese, indian, etc cuture and food.

It also has the comfort of western luxuries.

I'd love to go to Ethiopia. It has only recently welcomed tourists and has a fascinating history. They do still kidnap the occasional tourist, however. The other place on my list is Nauru.

have a look at the Scoopon website - they seem to offer some nice holidays.

But I avoid Asian countries due to the way they treat animals.

My very favourite place is Vietnam. I went there a couple of years ago & would go there again

Depends whether you want a holiday or want to travel.

For a relaxing holiday go to a place you're comfortable and easy in.

For a travel adventure, try something new and exotic.

I haven't been to Vietnam, but have heard lots of rave reviews.

For me personally, I never go back to a place I have already visited - the world is so wide that I want to spend my travel $$ on seeing and experiencing something new.

I don't want a relaxing holiday. We never sit around the pool we prepare markets and shops during the day and some sort of entertainment at night . Lots of restaurants and bars close to where we are. Would like to know more about what areas to stay in places like Vietnam and Malatsia.

It IS awesome - it is Cronulla beach.

And it's exactly the kind of place I mean when I say why not holiday local? Great surf beaches, sea pools and rock pools. Loads of restaurants, cafes, pubs, clubs. Good shops. Lots of activities - cinema, ferry trips, surf school, kayaking, bushwalking nearby. Etc. A 10 minute ferry trip to the Royal National Park. And only a 30mins train trip to Sydney CBD.

It makes no sense to me to search for those kinds of things overseas when we have it on our own doorstep. ?:|

We spent three weeks in Tasmania. Hubby lived in Sydney for seventeen years we have been to Melbourne and Adelaide and also Queensland . I would like to go to Broome . KL is sounding good just now. I am looking more into it.

Re: Where to go for holiday

I would recommend Penang if you are going to Malaysia - KL has some great architecture but it is on the boring side (that is what I found). I want to go to Cuba, everyone I know has loved it there.
