Where Shall I Take Hubby For His 50Th??

[mumstheword1]

Mu darling hubby is 50 at New Year and I have started saving to take him away for his birthday. But I am unsure where to take him. I was thinking about a week in the sun or should I do a city break like Praque, Berlin, Krakow or Amsterdam some where like that or maybe Dublin, I just don't know any suggestions please?

[mumstheword1]

I'm saving to take mine to see the Northern Lights, his birthday is in December, just haven't decided where to see them yet.

Well I won't be making any more suggestions, after you ridiculed my suggestion of Paris !!! How was I supposed to know you'd been there ???

At New Year the only place to go is Edinburgh!!

Viv38 I am so sorry I didn't mean to ridicule your suggestion it was a very welcome one. Please accept my apologies.

Toronto/Boston in the latter part/early part of the year---wonderful. Proper weather, ice, snow, plus hot dogs, fish, and ethnic meals to die for.

i am worried now that I have upset Viv38

Don't be. Viv is being a bit sensitive. There was no ridicule there, only fond remembrance as far as I can see.

Mum....don't fret !!! Hope you go somewhere nice....Edinburgh ..my home town I know but brilliant over New year....honest !! X

Mumstheword, I read her post as being tongue in cheek.

I absolutely agree with BGB's Boston suggestion, I took my OH there for his 40th and had a fab time, it's such a lovely city with loads to do.

Thanks guys Edinburgh sounds promising. Any recommendations for hotel by castle preferred x

I haven`t been to Edinburgh for eons but I remember that the Caledonian Hotel was pretty well thought of. It`s part of the Waldort Astoria group now. Might be worth checking out if you want something special. It`s not next to the castle - it`s on Princess Street but that is where it`s all going on anyway, especially at NY.

If I had to stay in any hotel in Edinburgh I would certainly try this one...Located on North Bridge and a 2/3 minute walk from The Royal Mile and Princes Street... Whatever you decide Mum I hope you both have a great time x ( let us know what you decide)
