We did the whole Wales thing when we were kids... (Brendy, got any pics?)
Pwhelli, Rhyl etc
Then did the 10 hour drive in the Cortina to Devon... that was nice...

Then when I was about 14 we got the coach (Dad was scared of flying) to Lorette De Mar in Spain, I think we did that for a couple of holidays... that was a swollen feet and sore backside experience
