TheValeyard · 02-09-2018 7:53pm

Sun break or city break?

The Pheasant2 · 02-09-2018 7:55pm

Hit up somewhere in Central Asia, nobody ever goes there. Let me know is it nice.

Travel dept.

Do a tour of Vietnam, across Cambodia and ending in Thailand.

Will take 2 to 3 weeks, but it'll be fantastic.

Or

Cuba .. just arrive and travel by bus/taxi

Some of the Eastern European countries are looking good.. Slovakia, Poland etc

Or, South of Spain, and get a ferry to Morocco.

Edit. Kazakhstan .. the capital looks super interesting.

We were in Spain last year, San Sebastian, great place, not your usual Southern Spain package holiday place, worth looking into

Peru.

Rome is lovely in October. Lisbon also.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 02-09-2018 9:34pm

I was going to suggest Rome at that time of year too.

2 nights Rome, 4 night cruise (Rome-Pisa-Cannes-Majorca-Barcelona), 1 night Barcelona, Home.

get to see a few places all at once, enjoy some nice food.

vivavoyage.co.uk is what I use for good rates.

Captain Red Beard · 04-09-2018 7:07pm

Kinshasa can be exciting.

Giraffe Box · 04-09-2018 7:09pm

Paris in the spring is nice, but as it's autumn Portlaoise is probably your best bet.

You could go Canary Islands.Seville is a lovely city may still be warm.

Junkyard Tom · 05-09-2018 2:05am

Aqua Dome.

Malayalam · 05-09-2018 7:03am

We were going to go on holidays in October but have postponed now, I was looking at places like Malta, Crete, Croatia, somewhere nearish with a bit of sunshine lingering.

KevRossi · 05-09-2018 7:08am

Corsica, and do some of the GR20.

Madeira has great weather, great food, is cheap and has loads to do.

demanufactured · 05-09-2018 7:21am

Myself and Mrs Demanufactured are heading to croatia for a week in October.
Can't wait.

+1 on Seville. You could do the moorish triangle Córdoba, Granada Sevilla. You could also fly into Madrid and see Toledo, Cáceres, Trujillo and Mérida.

MonkeyTennis · 05-09-2018 9:12am

Nice is lovely that time of the year.

SlipperyPeople · 05-09-2018 9:22am

Pherekydes · 05-09-2018 3:03pm

Cruise, deffo. She'll love you forever, or at least until the end of the cruise.

Grandeeod · 05-09-2018 6:32pm

Marrekech in Morroco. Its two different holidays in one. Weather great and Ryanair have direct flights from Dublin.

05-09-2018 6:50pm

Going to it this October...

I really enjoyed Beirut earlier this year.
Get a cheap flight only to Cyprus and hop across or flights from London or Paris are around €300.

Georgia (Europe) looks amazing (particularly if you are into wine).

Capt'n Midnight · 05-09-2018 11:10pm

Oktoberfest if you love the gargle and have money to burn.

Accomodation might be tricky this close.

meeeeh · 06-09-2018 12:21am

While Oktoberfest is grand as far as I can remember (I was there in 1990's couple of times) it's still just a beer festival. If I had to wait most of the year for OH to be able to go on holiday and then discovered it's a to a beer festival I would be slightly annoyed.

Anyway Florence is lovely that time of the year, so are the Alps. It really depends what kind of holiday you want.

beertons · 06-09-2018 9:04am

Dogging in Donegal.

And pretty much every bed going books up nearly a half-year in advance.

Just a beer festival......Nothing matches the atmosphere of a 10000 man beer hall. Nothing. Every red-blooded man must make this pilgrimage once in their lifetime.

I'm just back from swimming with sharks, which my wife hates the thought of.
But she knows it means the world to me and she doesn't try stop me.

Getting snotty/restrictive at your partner doing what makes them happy is no way to live.

Give me a October holiday suggestion
