hi everyone,
without going into too much detail about our Christmas just gone, next year i will be wanting to go away and do our own thing.........does anyone have any suggestions on where would be somewhere good to go ? so it could be a resort somewhere that does a good christmas lunch or just a great holiday you have had thats good for kids 5 and 3 (what they will be next Christmas).
can be in australia or overseas
thanks :-)
Have you thought about renting a house near the beach or mountains? Make a list of what you would like to do and go from there
If you want to do something special I would be looking into it now as many of the popular places & resorts are booked well in advance.
thanks Rivias i better look into things soon !
Fiji. It's a 3-4 hour flight from Sydney. Most resorts on the coral coast have a deal where kids stay eat and play for free (1 child per adult) as well as do deals where adults can have there accommodation meals and drinks included - naviti, hideaway and outrigger resorts are 3 that I have been to. They all have kids club to.
My advice tho search for flights that leave Sydney (or ur closest airport) early in morning so as to get a good first day in and ones that leave ur holiday place late in the night/afternoon so ur not leaving the resorts in the early hours of the morning (eg 3am)
- don't tell kids that ur going on a plane, particularly if they stress easy. My parents never told us where we were going or how we were getting there. They day before it was 'going on holidays tomorrow, pack swimmers and summer gear'
New Caledonia is overseas, Phillip Island if staying in Oz :)
peanutter: what are good things about Phillip Island ?
Minniemouse: I say a Vic trip is in order :)
We are going to go camping at Wilsons Prom, great place for families, the river is perfect for little ones, lots of pretty beaches & walks and new amenities. Although our weather can be very unpredictable so you just never know with camping.
I think Cairns would be beautiful!
Phillip island is a nice beachside town :) nice shops, cafes etc
Penguin parade is great for kids.
babyluv: thanks, we are planning another trip to melbourne this year because we want to go to the King Tut Exhibit at the melbourne museum so you have given me some other things to think about doing while we are there :-)
How about a white Christmas in the Northern Hemisphere? They have meese in Canadia :p
Maybe you could look at doing a Home Exchange and having a white christmas in the USA, Canada or UK?
Just thought of it because the movie "the Holiday" was on tv last night :)
