Fun Monday # 110 We're all going on a Summer Holiday

When Patience decided on the topic for this week she must have known that I will be going on holiday in three weeks. She says:

Y'know, it's getting on to that that time of year. Everyone's already thinking of what they'll be doing on their summer vacation. So, let's hear about it already!! (And pictures are always welcome!) And if you're not planning a vacation, tell us about vacations past.

Well those of you who read my blog regularly will know that I have been extremely lucky, since I retired back in October 2006, to have been on many memorable holidays. So I'm not going to to tell you about any of those or re-show pictures.
Last week (before I knew holidays were to be this week's topic) I wrote a very short post on planning a trip.

For those who didn't read that post I will be heading for China and Dubai. I have always wanted to visit China so, last year, when the opportunity came up I booked my place with a group going on one of Wendy Wu Tours.
This where we will be visiting
"This tour is designed for the visitor to experience the majesty of the Yangtze River and see the dramatic natural landscapes of the Three Gorges as we sail along the world’s third longest river. The tour also uncovers the treasures of cosmopolitan Shanghai, ancient Xian, the capital Beijing and the Panda Reserve in Chengdu". So I'm hoping that it's as good as it sounds.

On our return journey we are having an extended stay in Dubai just to see how it has developed and to see the Palm Islands where the rich and famous live and maybe do a little shopping!
When I get back I will be sharing all my photos with you so anyone who is interested can come back to my blog in the middle of May.

Then in October I am hoping to go herebut I have not had final confirmation from the friend who is organising the booking. This is a short tour again staying in different places to see ancient Tunisia. You never know I might even take a camel ride, although I've always thought it looks pretty uncomfortable!

Happy Fun Monday, I think when I see all your holiday destinations I might be adding a few more places to my bucket list.
