So far this year I've got a weekend in the 15th century in July at Tewkesbury, then a week in Norway Skien and Kristiansand seeing one of my favourite singers at a couple of gigs. I have a week free in September and November but nothing booked yet probably Port Isaac or Port Quin in November.

We've just booked a week away (9 nights actually) and we're closing the restaurant for it! We deserve it after a hard work summer!
we've booked a 4 night comedy cruise in August with P&O (unfortunately, it's the only cruise line out of Auckland this time of year), leaving Auckland and arriving in Brisbane, Australia on the Friday, then we've hired a car in Brisbane to go to the Gold Coast for 3 nights in a high floor studio right on the coast with views out to sea and the city. We'll be driving to Byron Bay and Currumbin nature park to see the lorikeets feeding from your hand, and koalas / kangaroos etc. Then we're staying one night in Brisbane before we fly back to Auckland with air New Zealand on one of their new A321NEO's and because we land at midnight, we're just staying at a hotel there for the night before driving home the next day.
So looking forward to it! Just under 10 weeks to go.

Dublin and Japan to come this year.
Thinking of going somewhere in June but I’m not sure it’s worth the outlay for 48hrs away at the moment.

I paid £480 for my virgin flights using my air miles from mine and the wifes credit cards
Well when I go...I gamble!!
In each of the groups I use their cards all the time when I do so they can track my play (mostly slots and I don't play crazy spin amounts say between $0.75 and $1.50 a spin).
I tend to visit and concentrate my play over days etc in the different groups on the strip and therefore they're happy to throw me some complimentary nights at their resorts.
To maximise things I'm also happy to move which means I can make the most of what's on offer during my stay to keep the cost down rather than stay for 2 weeks in the same place and pay the cash to do so.
Cosmopolitan = Identity Card
Planet Hollywood = Ceasers Rewards (Ceasers group of casinos)
Park MGM = M Life (MGM group of casinos)
If Glasgow had better options for flights I would not have to go BA
But I suppose I can't complain as I used my avios for some money off.Nah, I used to but now just stick to my gambling when I'm over there. Was last there in March and my biggest win was $910 on a $0.75 bonus on the Walking Dead Slot. Honestly low rolling and high drinking is the way to go
Jesus. 14 nights in Vegas. I go every year to be wined and dined on expenses and I can barely make it to day 6 without wanting to kill everyone! And that's generally with a good crowd that I'd consider friends, not naff corporate types!
Not going to lie 14 nights this time will be the last time I do this, I'll be sticking to multiple shorter trips throughout the year.
It's certainly the ultimate marathon of a trip to survive it for that long.
