A couple of trips planned.
But mainly work and doing my Medics training / qualification.

Was planning on a cheeky little trip to Dubrovnik with the Mrs to help distract me from the 3 months of incessant booing I'll be doing at our lack of signings and RDZ leaving.

Going on a cruise with John Inverdale, Polly and Giles in June which should be an absolute hoot. Also going to Wiltshire for a week in July.

Going to Bosnia in June, and trekking in Cantabria in early September.
Will get to a few Sussex matches, hopefully the minor counties one dayer at Arundel.
A beer festival or two
My mum's 90th birthday party (the most important event, of course)
Catering for 3 weddings, work wise

Not done that as one round trip (not for a holiday anyway) but have visited all of the places listed (bar Blarney), for work or leisure.
I wouldn't go a bundle on Dublin, personally - it kind of feels like any other generic big city, these days. And Limerick is a bit rough round the edges. But would (and will, courtesy of family all over) happily spend time in Cork, Galway, Waterford or Kilkenny
Its a fabulous country and well worth your time. Unfortunately, the state of the pound, means that it is very expensive now - especially hotels and eating out.
Definitely make the effort to include Cork (city)- even though its a bit out on a limb - and if you've time, a day or two in West Cork for the scenery.
All my maternal family live in Belfast, Lisburn and the Antrim area. Much nicer these days than people would think.
I love visiting.
And (re @Shropshire Seagull trip round Ireland)...
Visit Cobh while you're down in Cork. You'll only need an hour or two there but its an amazing spot. A tiny little harbour town, from which TWO AND A HALF MILLION people set sail for a new life in the States, to escape the hardship that was life in Ireland at the time (equivalent to HALF of the current population of Ireland). There's a small museum at the harbour detailing it all. The sheer scale of the exodus is mind-blowing.
It is also where the Titanic stopped off on its journey to Southampton (picking up a couple of hundred doomed souls) and where the survivors and victims of the Lusitania were brought ashore.
Important / interesting spot, if history is your thing.

There is a taxi tour which takes you to both sides of the wall, with a commentary. I found it fascinating but disturbing at the same time.
We've done two ski weeks and we're just back from NYC, that's it now for 2024. Feel satisfied and no more airports.

No holidays planned yet but I have some London concerts booked; Kim Gordon, Patti Smith, Black Uhuru, Stevie Nicks, PJ Harvey, Saucerful of Secrets and hopefully some more. Also Sussex at Lords in a few weeks time.
As to myself - already had a terrific three-day break in Rome...
Ireland (probably by car) for 3 nights for a family party in June, then nothing else specific planned yet.

Main event is son’s wedding in July. Getting a couple of holidays in September and November.
I’ve got a three day European stag do on Friday but can’t tell where in case the groom reads this and he’s oblivious as to where we are going.
And then bugger all booked up. Fancy a swanky spa or posh hotel with some fine dining for June though. Any tips on that. Yes 2 nights no more than 2 hours drive, dog friendly . Nice walks and good food.

This ticks all your boxes - on the edge of 2 hours - but isn't cheap. It is superb though

I am. Let’s get a game sorted soon. Finally all the holes are open. The wet this winter has been a killer. New course manager who has the greens great already. I am still lower than my lad at the moment but at 8 he will be beating me this summer I reckon. Lucky sod. Let me know if you fancy a game. Last few weeks of hockey and then evenings and weekends should work. It is always dead Sunday pm but might clash with your cricket.

Hmm. Bit of work in Yangon, Myanmar and then chillin' out in Phuket, Turkey (Istanbul, Kusadasi, Bodrum), Greece (Samos and Kos) and then in sunny Worthing with family 4 to 17 July (unfortunately not in football season) and then home to Jakarta. Oh, and if any of you out there who reasonably like my posts, I could be well up for a DM and a beer.

Having done two ski holidays this year my knees are now absolutely f***ed. I'll need to rest them on a couple of Mediterranean beaches in the next few months, and some weekends or midweek breaks at UK hotels putting a few miles on my mid life crisis. I have very simple tastes

I'm assuming that's your son in law to be Lenny, or that would be a little unusual
