In May, I'm going to Wolverhampton for the Revival retro gaming festival.
Next year, I'll be going to Amsterdam with my brothers. I've already worked out the route:
The Dutchflyer by Stena Line. A train from Liverpool Street to Harwich, spending the night sailing across the North Sea (They have cabins onboard so we have somewhere to sleep) and then a train to Amsterdam.
On the topic of travel, my Dad's gone to Hawaii for a couple of weeks.
