i need a holiday, stat. (is that the word? I've been watching a lot of ER)


having quit my job a couple of weeks ago, visited friends and family and generally watched too much daytime tv, I now need to go on holiday before the money runs out and I have to get a job (I've got two weeks max)


I need a week in the sun on my own because all my friends are seemingly otherwise gainfully employed. I'm too tired for strenuous activity, but I don't want to end up in a resort where a nice couple invite me to dine with them because I'm Shirley Valentine in the corner (although a resort where I get it on with Tom Conti wouldn't go amiss)


mostly I want to lie down, read books and eat nice food


any suggestions?

Damn, that's harsh. How about a sailing holiday, or is that not your thing? Great thing there is accommodation is included! It's a pretty popular thing to do for single travellers...


There wasn't a lot of wind in Croatia in early August though, but it may be picking up now.

That reminds me of the time I parked the car on a lay-by to take a leak. As I was walking out from the bushes, I gazed up at a yellow sign entitled, "Danger, mines!". I'll think twice next time about p1ssing on someone else's turf!!!


Seriously though, you're only likely to find mines in Croatia if you really head off the beaten track.

You won't get hit on by men in Turkey if you don't look 'up for it' - they are not stupid, it also depends on the sort of resort you go to - obviously if there is a predominance of younger people it will have a different atmosphere to a more family resort.


Try googling Kas on the Lycian coast - it is beautiful as is Kalkan - but a bit more going on in Kas.


Also avoids Eurozone - however southern Italy is cheap even with the Euro.

I was in Egypt a few years a go with my Mum, a friend of mine and her Mum. None of us were on holiday to get laid (which I assume it was you mean), yet the fact that we were women on our own meant that we had plenty of unwanted attention.


Cleary though as we were wearing summery clothes etc, we were "up for it". Is that what you mean?

    • 🤣  After a horrible very long day at work I came home..read this post and laughed out loud....thank you! We made the error of visiting the one in Dulwich just after it opened...you missed nothing. I dont mind paying a bit more for something decent but honestly it was one of the most underwhelming badly cooked meals I've eaten,  with an accompnayment of awful muzak and dire dire service . really overpriced too I agree.
    • But you started this thread back in 2023 James! You must have known this site would be going ahead? Now you’re saying 12-18 months. 
    • Such developments typically have 6-18months resolving all the conditions imposed on the approve scheme. While this going on they'll be lining up the constructions contractors, project management, etc. I'd guess 12-18months time. 
    • this makes me realise how the world has changed...in the 90's I lived in Chelsea which you'd assume was a pretty safe neighbourhood..One night someone stole my beautiful and heavy  (they were made of stone or concrete) fully planted windowboxes from my windowsills..I lived in a raised ground floor flat with a pretty steep drop to the basement, They must have climbed over the railings on the stairs and onto the sill then passed them to an accomplice..Impossible to do this solo. They also stole a beautiful stone owl that I had on the sill. I reported the theft to the police-this was the days before ring doorbells etc-they came filed a report and description of the stolen goods AND I got a letter and phone call from victims support!
