The last 'proper' holiday I've had was in 1989. (A week in Malta). Since then I've had a three-day break at a holiday camp in Bognor Regis (1995), a couple of nights at a holiday camp in Norfolk (also 1995) and two nights in Madrid (a couple of years ago). That's it!
However that doesn't stop me taking lots of day trips. I've done Edinburgh, Cardiff, Dublin, Paris, Brussels, Bruges, Ostend, Calais, Rome, Malmo, Copenhagen, Bratislava, the Italian Riviera, Mainz, Bordeaux, Lille, Barcelona, Amsterdam and loads of other places.
So far I've just got a day in Paris booked for this year (late June) but I'll probably add quite a few more destinations onto that list later on.

I enjoyed Bratislava. The coach journey from the airport into the city goes through mile after mile of stereotypical ultra-depressing Soviet-era concrete blocks but the old city centre itself is an absolute delight. The cafés and bars are reasonably-priced as long as you avoid the main tourist traps, with a half-litre of beer costing two or three quid in the expensive places but just 80p in the bars used by the locals. Meals are also quite cheap. Souvenirs are expensive though, even in the backstreet shops. (You can pay £30 for a T-shirt).
From my brief visit to the city, I'd definitely recommend it for a short break but it might not have enough to offer for a longer period.
