Excluding the statue, is it worth a trip, or is it just another beach resort which is difficult to get to?

..I suppose it depends on what you want. I’m at a stage where I like a really good hotel with great food and booze. The weather was poor when I went, i’m 62 but felt I was one of the youngest there. I have no idea about what it’s like culturally or for sightseeing but it wasn’t a place i’ll be going back to.

One of the best things is that the locals actually like the Brits. Food was excellent (who knew that grilled limpets were a delicacy). Depending time of year, the botanic gardens and the cable car ride up there are worthwhile.
The open top bus tour round the island is also worth it. I didn’t realise that Churchill spent a lot of time painting there.
It’s not a beach resort place as there are no beaches so pick a good hotel. I’d recommend staying in a Quinta (old Portuguese colonial houses) that has been turned into a hotel rather than the modern ones and make sure you are walking distance to Funchal town centre. Some of the modern hotels are a way out and up some serious hills.

not long back after 8 nights in new york and las vegas.highly recommend both cities.lot of walking and travelling and some things on the pricey side but well worth it.

I've travelled a lot mate . 30 odd countries I reckon and most of them with me back pack. I use to make money on the road too . Fruit picking , busking selling jewellery st markets etc. So you don't really need to save up mate but that depends on what you want from your experience I guess. I first got off when I was 19 years of age to the US. Mainly New York State.
India and especially in the Himalyan foothills was amazing and deffo the Pyrenees will always be special for me.
Booked 3 nights in Vilnius and then a short flight over for 4 nights in Stockholm....in February. Best buy a new coat and some thermals.

I worked around there for a few months in spring mate.seemed to be an accident almost every day resulting in slow moving traffic.also theres a long stretch of 50mph so watch your average speed.
Leave early as possible.

Nice one mate
Last year we spent Christmas in America, in Bristol, Tennessee, with my stepson, his American wife and their daughter. This year we're going earlier to spend Thanksgiving with them, plus their new baby son, in their new home.
I get the impression that Thanksgiving is a bigger deal than Christmas in America, unless that's just how it seems in films. It'll be interesting to find out first hand.

Yes, I've been there. Spent most of the time
as it was my first experience of all-inclusive, but I remember enough to know it's a nice place. Jeep safaris are good and Catalina Island is worth the trip.
Isn't that Cala Millor? "When there's fish on the floor you're in Cala Millor, when the fish are a gonner you're in Cala Bona" (love it there)
..ah, I think you’re right. Never been let down by Majorca, even when the kids were little. We’ve now found a lovely hotel and resort in Cala Mesquida, which is our go-to early summer holiday.
busy busy busy here.
While still in Colombia will be doing our Christmas break in (cue David Lee Roth/classic Van Halen) PANAMA! and Costa Rica.
After the academic year is over, school pays round trip tickets to our "point of origin" (Arizona), which we can receive cash for as we aren't going home (next P clears that up). That and racking up points on our credit card (charge everything, pay it off every month) we'll be doing Spain this summer with basically free flight and about $2,000 in free lodging once we cash in some of our points.
Finally, summer 2020 might be The Big One. Both my wife's parents passed away in 2017 (long story short: f cancer, f doctors who shouldn't be performing a procedure performing it anyways), neither had even hit retirement age. We've been working hard, teaching abroad has enabled us to save a decent stash despite not even making US average income, so with that and with some money left to us, are seriously debating just taking a year off and traveling the world. Might even see me pop by Scotland and venture to Goodison.
