My parents went there on a coach trip (as they do ) and they loved it -plus they made really good friends with people who they still keep up with.

[rugeleyboy]

[Booldawg]

Yes, its very nice. Sandown beach is nice. Shanklin Chine, Brading Wax work museum (quite gruesome in places). Blackgang chine is a must if you have kids. Theres loads to do and see, Osborne House, Cowes etc.

This question has been put in the "Music" section.

May be better in the "Travel" section, or "Destination" that is under Travel.

Thats where I got confused after i posted the first time.

You will love it -i've never heard a bad report.

Thanks to the other peeps who realised where I was coming from -lol

[rugeleyboy]

im sure i put this in travel?

never mind ..............no one died?

Anyway, just to expand my answer, the beauty of the IOW is that you can stay at one resort, say Shanklin, but nowhere else on the isand is too far away to travel to as it is only about twenty miles wide, and the diversity of what you can see and do is far larger than what you'd get if you stayed at a mainland resort.

postdog it sounds great.

we are stopping at a hoseasons caravan park and i cant wait, its a place ive always wanted to go to but the far away places always won, finally after 10yrs i have got my own way and we are booked up in august.
