Anyone heading away to turkey on this 'great deal' the ifj is doing? !!!! €129pps for 15 nights. ..

It's a seriously good price. Ankara and Istanbul should be pretty safe

I look at that and think "who in their right mind would go there now".

Then I think back to when I was single and me and herself went on an equally cheap holiday to Egypt, just three weeks after terrorists killed 60 tourists in a gun attack. Wonderful holiday but looking back maybe not so wise.
We even visited te exact temple where the massacre occurred.

I flew to the states a few years back on seriously cheap flights. It was when it came close to the date that I realised why....Friday 13th.

Probably no safer time to go to any destination than just after a terrorist attack

In 2006 I went on a 6 week holiday to Uganda which included a trip to see gorillas in Bwindi National Park (also referred to as the Interoperable Forest) which borders DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo). 5 or 6 years previously there was a massacre involving the deaths of 8 UK & US tourists.
On the trip we were accompanied by 8 armed UPDF soldiers and apparently another 8 in the forest out of sight, as well as 4 armed Park Rangers.
Uganda is a beautiful country and the people we met were friendly and hospitable. However we only travelled to to know safe areas and stayed away from the North of the country - Gulu / LRA

You never specified whether she should behave well or badly. I'd be plumbing for badly. Cut loose whelan. At 9.99 for the flights this weekend can only be considered a success if you miss the flights on Mon.

Yeah, I know the feeling.

We booked flights and an apartment in London for a few days in July. Only trouble is fitting all the stuff the kids want to do into 4 days. We'll want a holiday by the time we get home:)

Booking flights this week to go to spain in early july, staying in a different place to normal at half the price of what we paid last year. Will go to a liverpool game at some stage too :cool:

I take it you enjoyed the trip. I love going over but can't get there as often as I used.

It was class, plan is to bring 2 youngest over in May for the stadium tour- not a game- and stay over night and then bring the eldest lad for a game at the end of the year.
