Non-Christmassy Trips
PTTravel
#PTTravel 'ello. It seems our lovely matriarch @kate_frankie has decided to go off & do fun things instead of looking after us, so this week she's handed control over to me.
I have questions about anti-Christmas, but first, where you chatting from & what's an item on your left?
replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel in my case it's a microphone on a stand attached to my desk. Which i keep banging my arm into cos i'm not used to it being there. :D
Hi there, I'm joining from my cold non-christmassy living room in Glasgow #PTTravel
replying to @BPackersGuide @BPackersGuide you've not put up any christmas decor either? #pttravel and yes, it's a bit cold up here today even for me!
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel Amesbury and a mug of Redbush Tea.
replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW glasses spectacles, or glasses drinking? I'm assuming the former but English is a vague language #pttravel
replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @kate_frankie ah tea. I'm a very bad Brit, I alwaya found tea a tad boring .... sorry! #pttravel

#pttravel oh yeh, I'm in Glasgow, UK. Where the sun is currently steting before 4pm, which is ... interesting.
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @BPackersGuide #pttravel Neither have I ... and I'm not going to! I'm off next Tuesday, to spend Christmas with my family!
#pttravel A mundane question to start us off.
Q1: Have you ever been on holiday over Christmas/New Year?
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot No decoration in my home at all. I've just realized that I've never decorated my home 🤷‍♀️#PTTravel
replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW you don't need them to see then? I wear glasses but my eyesight is so dreadful that if I take them off I can ... see that i have a computer screen at least lol! #pttravel
replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @BPackersGuide oh awesome! Are they far away? How long are you staying for? #pttravel
A1 #pttravel Yes, a few times. It’s just a fun time to travel such as the trip I took to Germany to see the Xmas Markets.
replying to @BPackersGuide @BPackersGuide #pttravel haha really? I haven't, for a long time, but I always justified not doing so because i worked in an office, rarely took timeoff, and lived alone. Now I WFH I .... guess my excuse now is I just don't want to lol! #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel Try Redbush! I first heard of it in the Precious Ramotswe books; came across some, and thought I'd try it. Certainly an improvement on PG Tips!
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I can see fine, but reading is another matter. #pttravel
A1 Yes, many times, e.g., Costa Rica/Japan/Latvia over Christmas, Panama/Japan/Latvia over New Year's #pttravel
replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW German christmas markets are supposed to be pretty good. #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @BPackersGuide #pttravel About 200 miles. How long we'll stay is open-ended.
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Same here. I never wanted to, but in the winter time I tend to have more candles in my flat #PTTravel
replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @BPackersGuide is there any reason you need to be back in Aemsbury on any given date? #pttravel
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Used to Disney. Now just hit up gems of the Middle East. Sometimes you gotta take Christmas with you. #Pttravel
replying to @BPackersGuide @BPackersGuide cool. Which would you say was the most enjoyable? #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I thought they were. I’d like to go back to Europe to see other places. I’ve read the best mkts are in Tallinn & Zagreb, Croatia. #pttravel
A1: Every single year, until 2020. I usually go somewhere warm, to escape the winter. This is Guatemala at Christmas time, a few years ago #pttravel
replying to @TinyTrekkers @TinyTrekkers hah, I mean if you're gonna celebrate Christmas, that's much nearer its origin I guess! #pttravel also, warmer than certainly I'm experiencing ...
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I guess it depends. I've really enjoyed Costa Rica because it was far away from everything. Not even the weather felt like Christmas at all #PTTravel
replying to @TinyTrekkers @TinyTrekkers coool #pttravel I think if we tried that here we'd freeze.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @BPackersGuide A1 #pttravel Not at the moment, but I don't like to leave the house for too long if it gets too cold.
replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith I always liked doing that #pttravel No-one around to annoy me with silly questions.
#pttravel A1: I did once spend a Christmas in Zakopane, in the Tatras, in Poland. That was ... cold! I've also been to a hotel set in a castle in NE England. DIfferent, and low-key.
replying to @RTWBarefoot #pttravel A2: I mean not Christmas specifically, but I was in Tunisia one year over New Year and you could barely notice.
