      London Girl, I have heard a lot of things about Cornwall, especially how Rick Stein owns half or close to all of it?? Seen the wonderful restaurants and cafes and harvesting bamboo clams off the beach. O'm sure you'll be having a great time.

         He owns a couple of restaurants there, I think - at least one in Padstow, in north Cornwall.
         
         We're actually going to Tresco, one of the Isles of Scilly, about 40 miles west of Land's End.

    Cornwall is a big county, so doubt that Rick Stein owns more than his few properties around Padstow.  Prince Charles is the Duke of Cornwall, so he is probably the biggest landowner.

    If I had to choose somewhere to go on holiday - it would be somewhere hot. I cant stand the cold - why would someone fly somewhere cold? Whether it be Dubai, Tanzania, Costa Rica, New Zealand or OZ... I'd stay clear of places i need to wear more than a short sleeved cotton top and trakkie bottoms on a casual day out.
    
    If you cant decide on where to go, a really good travel site i came across was [url=http://okbravo.com/].. They have a wizard that allows you to input your interests, who you're travelling with, how far you want to travel and when you want to go.. It provides you with tailor made guides. I chose to go to Costa Rica - AMAZING - and although we didn't book in advance (hate planning), we actually got a good deal on the accommodation and flights online.
