    We're all going on a summer holiday!

    Myself and a couple of like-minded chums are off for a week of debauchery on sunny Ibiza; Playa Den Bossa to be exact. Though I do wonder if we're getting a wee bit old for that kinda thing, I've no idea what the kids are wearing in the superclubs these days, are tweeds & tank tops still the in thing...?

    Anyway, what's everyone else got planned for their summer jolly?

    Its Ibiza mate - No one will care what you are (or not ) wearing there, more so in Bossa

    Just go out comfortable and you'll be fine. If you're really worried though, grab a copy of Mixmag and have a look through it. As the pictures are from actual clubs within the last few months, it gives you a good idea

    Re: We're all going on a summer holiday!

    I've got a week in Ibiza planned too, although I don't plan on any clubbing.

    Supposed to be meeting my parents in Amsterdam for a week too, but looks like I will be working instead.

    I think clubbing may well be on our agenda; as illustated in this little diagram.

    Re: We're all going on a summer holiday!

    I'm getting a summer trip this year, first time in ~7 years, how exciting!

    Going to Italy for a weekend, Round 3 of the FIA GT Championship at Adria

    Not very long at all, but it'll be fun for sure!

    (btw - anyone used trains in italy before/had to get from Marco Polo airport to a S.Lucia Train Station in Venice?)

    You're stopping at a nice place - I've been there
    Not huge, but very clean

    Don't bother with the water park though, its really bad. Save your money and spend it on the water activities at the beach (like the Sky-surfing, banana boats, or jet skis)
    If you want to go diving over there, let me know and I'll put you in touch with a good bloke (assuming you have dived before )

    Not a sinus problem, but I can't re-pressurise my ears properly either...well, not until recently.

    Going 3/4 meters deep would cause me immense pain. Getting down to 20M would take me the best part of 15 mins. However, diving has helped if anything. I can now repressurise a lot easier - certainly makes a big difference on planes
