Where to go on your Holidays?

Almost three weeks ago since the deadly attacks on London, the cities tourism chiefs are saying ''Business as usual,'' but is it? A dramatic reduction in the number of people bringing children to London has been reported. They have also cut a number of flights and hotel bookings from abroad since the July 7 bombings and the incidents again this week.Other European tourism caps are bracing themselves for what are now almost inevitable attacks. In Milan and Rome, the metro systems were reported to be emptier than normal this week, following a warning from the Italian interior minister that ''terrorism is about to knock on Italy's door.''
Fear is growing that Italy will be next in to suffer an attack, following an ultimatium from al-Qa'ida-linked group to withdraw its 3,000 troops from Iraq.A massive anti-terror sweep has now been launched across the country.Security at museums and galleries is now at unprecedented levels.

Army and Police patrols with sniffer dogs are now the norm on public transport and around our cities.
Denmark,whose name was also included alongside other ''infidel'' states supporting the United States against the war on Iraq, Poland, Holland and last,but not least Southern Ireland where american forces land to refuel on their way to Iraq.
Canada, growing fears Canadians will face at al-Qa'ida fury sooner or later for troops in Afghanistan. Police presence in major cities increased.We know these madmen will target cinemas, sports complex, public transports, airports,shopping malls and wherever you and I would go with our families and friends to enjoy a holiday.

I can't really afford to go abroad on holiday and i am apprehensive at going on my own anyway. soooo...I normally spend my time off going out for the day as there are many places of interest within a 2 hour drive. I have spent short breaks in Cornwall and at Ironbridge gorge and really enjoyed myself. There are so many beautiful places in the UK I have never been to, visiting them all would take several years I fear.

If I was able to travel abroad I don't think the terrorist threat would really put me off unless there were regular occurences of bombings etc in one particular area. I have NO problems going to London.

I would be interested to hear of any experiences that female single holiday makers have had as I really want to do something special next year...my last year before I retire.

I don't like heat. At all. I'm taking a mini-vacation to Wisconsin this weekend and I'm hoping it'll be delightfully cool.

Sounds like a skiing holiday for you then.

£s and $s if only they grew on trees eh ?

I've been looking at some coach trips for next year...Spring flowers in Malta - 7 nights....Landscpaes of Tenerife - 7 nights....Monets garden and gardens of northern france...6 nights.
Next year is my last chance of A holiday before I retire so I'm determined to go for it.

I have never been over seas before. I have always wanted to go to Italy, France, and England. My family and I have no money for a vacation like that. We'll be lucky to go to Chicago or Vegas next year.
