I took my (now ex) b/f to Paris for his 30th birthday and went to the Moulin Rouge for a meal/show on the day itself. I can recommend going up the Eiffel Tower at night and a trip to the Sacre Coeur.

Mine is next year wing and because I didn't have an 18th or 21st birthday party I did think about hiring a hall and having a big party. However, lately I've started to think that with the money you'd spend hiring the hall, food, etc etc...I may as well do one of those 5 day trips to New York or something so am thinking along those lines instead now.

Thanx MK66
I suggested Paris as I was meant to go a few years back but couldn't due to health complications but thing is it doesn't feel right just me and hubby going as I would like to celebrate this with my 2 girls and Mum & Step Dad so could end up being quite pricey. Maybe I should tot it up just for the 2 of us just to see how much it would be?

Oh blooming heck I don't know what to do!!! I thought about a party but think we are running out of time as Birthday is end of March.
Starting to panic that I should have been better prepared than this!!!

wingnut, can you not all go away somewhere together? See if you could rent somewhere? That way you'll all be together.

Hi Beads! :o)

Ooooo New York!
Now hadn't thought of that!! and I am liking the idea! Maybe could have a special meal with the kids and Mum & step Dad when we get back??!!

I too didn't do anything special for my 18th or 21st, infact spent 21st moving into a house that we had to move out of almost a year to the day later so wanted to do something special for my 30th.

New York is moving towards the top slot!! :o)

Hiya wingnut - it is a bit spesh isn't it. That's why I've started to think about it for mine too...You could definitely have a lovely family meal upon your return and these breaks are pretty short so the kids won't even know you're gone and it will be a bit exciting for them too as they'll be staying with nan and grandad!.... let us know the outcome :)

Hi ~Wingnut~ , nice to see you again , can't add anything to the great ideas already posted hun :-) xxxxx

[MK66]

Oh yes, I can recommend New York too! First time I went through my job and stayed at the Grand Hyatt (very posh!) and had a helicopter trip over Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty - that was something else! Second time I went I caught a cold at the airport, flight was delayed and I ended up with flu (and deaf) by the time I got to NY where the temperature was minus numbers! Won't forget that trip in a hurry either!!
P.S. If you wanted a party, I'm brilliant at organising them (even at short notice)!
Whatever you choose to do, I hope you have a great time!

[~Wingnut~]

Hiya all :o)

I think I will have to have a chat with my Mum as NY does sound a great idea! ;o) lol

I will def let you all know what I decide :o)

[~Wingnut~]

Hi BM, sorry didn't mean to miss you out then! Nice to see you again too, hope your keeping well :o)

Thank you all for your great ideas and input and I must admit I have been thinking about seeing Ken Dodd live Red as I hear he is very good (and I grew up with him too, watching him on telly I mean lol)

New York sounds a wonderful suggestion doesn't it , that's the next place I wish to go . My sister and her hubby are going there in April as he was awarded the trip for winning the annual award at his job .
