Another tip if you are flying to/from the USA is to fly from LBA to Dublin, then get the flight to the States from there - you clear Homeland Security at Dublin Airport (takes 30-60 minutes max), and the flight is then treated as an internal flight for the USA, and you miss out the 2-4 hours it normally takes to clear Homeland Security when you land.

We did New York some years ago via Shannon to clear customs in Ireland.

We love Las Vegas and will never get bored of going, it's so tacky it's actually quite classy in a funny sort of way.

We've done northern California but never the south so that's something to think about.

Will only be the 2 of us - daughter is married and can afford her own holidays these days!!

Have an elderly Aunty in Old Colwyn so Rhyl is somewhere we've been, maybe I'll leave this one there .

But being serious, Thailand seems to be off as Mrs G's vegetarian but nearly vegan so food might be an issue. However, it's now looking like Dubai & Goa but the flights might be a nightmare so probably looking like 2 weeks next March in Goa and another trip later next year to Dubai. And we'll also probably end up having a sneaky week in Turkey this September.
