If you had £1,500 to go on a trip, where would you go?

[Matt..]

I am just trying to get some ideas together for a trip this year... so, if you had £1,500 (for one person), where would you go, and what would you do?

[Zad]

Dollar and rental price permitting permitting, drive Boston - NY - San Francisco - Los Angeles?

[E31Shrew]

Sainsburys

[PulsatingStar]

Id go to Spain and do an AFF course, assuming the exchange rate hasnt hurt the price too much. But that is what im planning to do this year.

[MrV]

Next big trip for me (money/job permitting) Borneo ,I have a hankering to see Orangutans

[911motorsport]

That should cover you for an off peak ferry trip to Eurodisney, perhaps for 2 nights.

[DickyC]

Two nights in The Dorchester with someone you're particularly fond of.

[tomTVR]

It would have to be America. £500 flights (max) leaves a grand to spend traveling around for a month or so.

[DAVEVO9]

A nice road trip to Norway.. would love to see the Northern Lights.

[IforB]

Spearmint Rhino.

[dangerousB]

Easy . . . skiing with change to put towards the AFF course in Spain

[Maxf]

Some great ideas, but I'd hire something tastyish for the weekend and go to LeMans.

This is PH afterall!

The man speaks truth...

Seriously though, the collapse of Sterling means that £1500 won't get you that far any more. Was planning on joining a 2 week tour of the alps this summer, but that's now £1200 plus petrol

4 day monster Yak hoon from just west of Maidenhead to Glenforsa on Mull, via Halfpenny Green, Carlisle and Oban, eating as much as I possibly can and still get airborne, including a visit to be best fish-and-chip outfit in the world - Mr Grumpy's in Plockton - and at least one blast down Glencoe, as well as at least two new islands added to the logbook, at the start of May...with about 20 other like-minded individuals. Should just scrape in at under £1500, if I go easy on the cheese board. Oh yes.

[Nolar Dog]

Flight into Bangkok.
Couple of days there then train up to Chiang Mai.
Next stop Chiang Rai.
Over the border and into Laos.
Across Laos into North Vietnam.
Down the coast to Ho Chi Minh City.
Up into Cambodia.
Back into Thailand.
Back to Bangkok via Si Racha.

£1000.... 1 month.... $50/day.... Hotel.... Food... Beer... Women....


If Carlsberg made holidays...

I'd probably go to Thailand, where £600 flight to Phuket would get you a whole lot of fun for £900 spending money.

20 days in a month? Make that about $35 a day!
