NFR - Holiday destinations for January 2015'

[Admin]

Normally go at the end of January, mainly due to work commitments, time off etc. For the past 2 years, I've done Egypt, first the Nile Cruise, then Sharm el Sheik, throughly enjoyed both, although Sharm was a to commercialised for me, I was happier knocking around the Valley of the Kings, Luxor Temple etc.

I'm tempted to go back and do the Nile Cruise again, mainly to do the Pyramids at Giza and Abu Simbel, couldn't do them last time as it was kicking off, but at the same time, I don't want to bore the Mrs.

Considering that time of year, where else is quite good to go? The weather is still around 25 degrees in that part of the world, but I'm stuck or idea's. P.S: Barbados etc, is out of the question.

Indonesia long flight but it's cheap when you get there

In all seriousness, San Francisco is one of my absolute favourite cities. The missus would love the romance of it. Plus you've got Alcatraz for a bit of masculinity.

Only if you live there. Otherwise it goes by the old native American name of "that of the over priced real estate".

Not very nice in January and the weather is hit or miss all year round.
Lots of 'romance'  Alcatraz (not a nice boat trip in January)  Fishermans Wharf, Beach (too cold) Cable cars, Haight Ashbury ( from the old hippy/Woodstock era) Carmel (Clint Eastwood was mayor)
I'd combine it with a trip to LA; Greyhound through Bakersfield etc

I haven't been there since 1974, my only connection there is an old friend of mine: Rick Jones,  who for the older members was 'Mr' Fingerbobs, Play School and the co-writer and keyboard player of 70's 'cult' band  Meal Ticket

Cambodia. Went there a couple of years ago and the people are very friendly.

Borneo or Costa Rica. Both fabulous destinations. Both brilliant for a week of touring followed by relaxing on a beach.

W Indies, Cuba as above, Mauritius, Seychelles, Gambia.  (I assume skiing not on your agenda?)  South America?  Anywhere but Warrington really.

Dunno. The Arndale centre in Warrington is pretty nifty. Is that fancy bus garage still there?

I'm off to Verbier if it helps.

Try Dubai, if not Cuba or Gambia....

A bit closer to home, Madeira is always worth a visit, as is Gozo. Both lovely. For more guaranteed weather one of the Canaries would be good, especially out of season.

In the US, all the festival goers/Jam band lovers do this and I wish I could go but Jan is not a good time for me. Excellent bands and a very fun crowd am sure. An excellent funk band from Leeds called the New Mastersounds usually plays this and would check them out for some good music.
