I hope its here next weekend we're off camping!

 

[cherl889]

Wimp! I love hot weather. I hope its nice too Linz, working fri and sat night which will he hellish if weather is good but im off on sun and mon

 

[fortyandfat]

it will get very hot and sweaty in the tent. dont forget to take a cooling fan or you wont be able to breathe at night

 

[cherl889]

Lol. Dont have that problem in a caravan or on a boat!

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Our tent is very well designed our bedrooms stay warm in the winter time & cool in the summer.. so thankfully so far no fan has been needed!

 

[fortyandfat]

i dont DO boats. my other half wants to go on a cruise. whenever he ask i say 'off you go then' :8855:

 

[cherl889]

Why? Im petrified of water since my friend and his dad drowned but i love being on a boat in calmish waters

 

[fortyandfat]

i would feel trapped knowing i couldnt get off it when i wanted to. i know you can get off when it docks but i just dont like them. i dont mind cross channel ferry's but thats about it.
i also dont like the sea. i will paddle if there is no fish about! one time i realy want to parasail but there was lots of fish about so i had to have 4 friends surround me as we walked out in the sea to the boat. i was a nervous wreck getting to the boat. then when i was up in the sky i sort of had a panic attack that i was going to land in the sea and not on the boat. luckily i landed on the boat :8855:

That fat phot of me is feeding fishes FAF, look closely and you can see them.

 

[fortyandfat]

i spotted them long ago jim lol. i did swim with dolphins in jamaica once and the fish stayed away. only had one come near me and i kicked it coz i freaked out lol.
dont mind dead fish. fed the dolpins in florida.
i am a dolphin fanatic. i love them!

 

[Jim]

LOL, it was fun feeding them love, only little ones they were.

 

[cherl889]

I swam with dolphins in Cuba. Amazing experience but was totally petrified of the sea and the fish! Im probably the only person that goes to the maldives and only goes in the water when the sharks come into the shore!

 

[fortyandfat]

wow sis. i would love to go to the maldives. i want the island on the north that you have to take a sea plane to get too!
i dont like little fish but dont mind big fish. i am the same with spiders. dont like the little ones but fine with the big ones! yes im weird :8855:

 

[cherl889]

We got the sea plane. It was a fantastic holiday. After that bad news we went through. We decided to splash out before falling pregnant! Mark as a treat even booked us onto a private island for a weekend. It was about £900 per night i think and wow is all i can say. We had a sea appartment that was bigger than my house, a jaccuzi overlooking the sea, food was the best ive ever had and the bit that made me feel a little out of place was the 30 staff all to ourselves. 24hrs a day for whatever we needed. It was weird walking on the beech thinking we were the only ones there but an experience im so glad we had the chance to see. We both had full body massages on the beech and then the ladies ran us a beech side bath with petals and bubbles. Bubbles to drink and a huge platter of fresh fruit. Soooooo romantic. It was just what we both needed. I hate to think how much it would cost now as that was almost 5yrs ago!

 

[fortyandfat]

wow. sounds amazing. i have travelled a lot but never been over that side. i have looked in to the maldives and one day i will go there but as you say it is very expensive. i think our next major trip is to go back to florida in a few years with the little uns. went for a month last time and that wasnt enough time to do everything! i wont take them out the country when they are little as the sun is too hot so we have a few camping holidays a year in the uk which is better for them as they love the entertainment.

We took oliver to Turkey at 18mths old and we've been to different parts of France. I think the heat is ok as long as you protect them ok and keep their fluids up. A fan in the room and a dunk in the sea or pool.
