I am going to Turkey (Cappadocia and Antalya) for 8 days. I am looking forward to that, I've heard some great things, so I have high expectations.

We only chose to go there as it's somewhere we hadn't been and that hasn't been trashed by various hurricanes.
Bonaire is where you want to go if you don't care about lying on a beach and just want to dive. Basically, you get your accommodation and a pickup truck for the week. Each day you put your gear in the back and drive around to to the tank station, grab a couple of tanks each and then follow the road around the island coast. Every few hundred metres there will be a pair of yellow stones by the side of the road indicating a good place to park and enter the water. If there's already a couple of trucks there just drive along to the next quiet one. Dive as often and when/where ever you like.
We only bother with shore diving but boat trips are available. However, the beaches are quite stoney and there is literally nothing else to do.
If you like wrecks there is ship that was scuttled named hilma hooker. The yanks all travel on Saturday morning so Friday afternoon and Saturday there's no one else around.Comment

No plans. Got a week off coming up as my Beau is down for a visit. Might have a trip to Glasgow early August.
Hoping for a decent flight sale so I can book up an Oz revisit in October for a wine festival.Comment
