Holiday 2011: WTF would you do?

randal · 5 Feb 2011 at 01:56

So, I saw 2011 in single, split from the Mrs and spent a couple of weeks moping about like a sad ****. Now, getting over the woe of being an eligible bachelor again a mate of mine voiced the idea of a holiday. We mused a couple of ideas over a few beers, and rounded up to a couple of conclusions:

1) Head off to the States, fly to Houston, see friends we used to work with, beers, then hire a car and foxtrot oscar off to California. Drive the coast, then head back to the UK.

2) Drive Europe. I'm toying with buying an MX5, so what better way to run it in than driving France, Switzerland and Italy's famous roads (stopping off on the way obviously).

Question - what would you do? I'm leaning towards option 1, but option 2 certainly has it's charms. Some of those Top Gear-esque roads and vistas, ah yeah.

Well as you're now an eligible bachelor again and the chances of an English person being able to speak more than 2 different European languages being very slim, but everyone in the states speaking English, it might be easier to pick up ladies in the states? eh? eh? eh?

You raise a very valid point!

It's a no brainer IMHO then. Not to mention your friends in the states would probably love to see you too. And they may have lady friends

the states isn't like what it's like on T.V, there's a lot more fat ppl over in the states than you can imagine...

A Brit accent usually goes down a storm in the US

Efour · 5 Feb 2011 at 03:36

U S A - A OK! for sure.

Option 2 all the way, it's easier, cheaper, probably more fun, stop off in Amsterdam and it's definitely more fun, plus you don't have to deal with the irritating accents and immigration nonsense

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1!!

Europe all the way but then I have no desire to ever visit the US.

Cosimo · 5 Feb 2011 at 07:34

Europe for the driving, scenery and interesting places, you'll have more fun.

Savvy · 5 Feb 2011 at 08:32

States by far better choice, they love brit accents

jamief · 5 Feb 2011 at 08:34

Europe. Everyone in Europe speaks English, plus the women are far hotter.

Pug · 5 Feb 2011 at 08:50

Deffo the us, bit I'd not bother with LA I really wasn't keen.

Boston is amazing, so is Miami and Vegas too. Tho they aren't exactly near each other lol

The coast road from Cali to San fran is spectacular, and the scenery in the us is mind-blowing.

Aero · 5 Feb 2011 at 09:23

I think the US is the option to take here even though I plan on doing option 2 in an mx5 sometime soon

OMG your british!!!

They absolutely love it.

[J.D.C] · 5 Feb 2011 at 09:48

Definitely hit the states.

eatcustard · 5 Feb 2011 at 10:02

Road trip in yanksville is the way to go

Badgi · 5 Feb 2011 at 10:07

Personally, option 2. There are places in the states that are nice, but, it isn't the best place I've been to and wouldn't go out of my way to go there again.

Besides, a road trip around europe would be pretty cool.
