Hi there, Looking for a few ideas if possible. I'm thinking about taking a break from it all, for a week, on my own, to see/do something unusual. Any ideas?
A long train jouney (e.g. London-Somewhere in Europe) might be a good option, particularly if you're travelling alone. I'm told travelling through the alps, for example, offers some stunning scenery.
I always find train journey offer a chance to get your thoughts together without any feeling of isolation. There are numerous distractions and stop-offs available should you need a break.
Cheers Staples but I had something a bit more adventurous in mind. Looking at a week in the gambia at the mo. Some cracking last minute deals out there if you are happy to walk out your door and go on short notice.
If you're willing to change planes in the UK, it's worth signing up with http://www.kuoni.co.uk for their late offers. A lot of their offers can include free connecting flights from Dublin. last one I got from them included Goa, Kenya, Maldives, Dom Rep, many others.
Good luck
I have inlaws in Seattle and have been out there a few times. Seattlites regaled me with tales of doing the Dempster Highway that connects the Klondike Highway in the Yukon Territory to Inuvik.
There is also a cruise from Seattle to Alaska which sounded good too.
I dream about doing the Dempster trip.
If her-indoors agrees, may do it this year yet as I am currently in between jobs after 30 years constantly working . Us men deserve some compensation!
