Why save money when you have the chance to go away. I love BOTH those places too. Sod the saving and enjoy matey.

Well I've taken that exact attitude and it's meant I haven't put away enough, see your point though!

Haven't been to krakow but heard great things and it will be my 5th Ibiza trip, don't think
I'll ever be able to say no to that place!

Vendee, France 12th consecutive year, all but one within around 15km of where we first stayed. Fortunately we do like it there a lot. Hoping to do the Ciniscene show at Puy Du Fou this year, have been to the park on several occassions (highly recommended) but never to the big show.

It's brilliant, perhaps a bit long if you've got young kids (make sure you get a headset if so), but still well worth a visit. It's a couple of years since I last went to the park, but been several times.

It's a cracking place for the summer the Vendee, we've just sold our place out there so have spent many weeks out there the past few years. Good beaches too.

 

[Algernon]

To Slovakia (High Tatras) for a week at the beginning of Feb, then my 50th in Cyprus in September (ish)

Those flight prices are expensive especially for Oct. Look at Monarch or Easyjet. Keep a close lookout for price drops. I paid £287 for two people with 20kgs of luggage each with Monarch. Flying out on June 23rd.
Holiday insurance i strongly recommend. Atlas direct is cheap as chips. They also pay up without hassle as i should know. I spent 3 days in a Turkish hospital. Don't change up any money here. Where are you going.?

Cheers - yes, those two look like the best airlines. I'm going to keep an eye on the prices and hope they might dip a bit after a January rush.

We're going to a place on the coast near Marmaris. Went to Turkey a few years ago at this time and loved it.

Sister in law and her husband went couple of years ago. They enjoyed it but a lot of curfews and out of bounds areas due to the exceptionally high rate of crime. They had their room broken into but the culprit was found and according to the local police will spend about 18 months in custody awaiting trial. They take great exception to tourists being robbed as that is the islands livelehood.

Yes, we have read a bit about the crime rate, by all accounts its got a lot better because of the reasons you state, and apparently it's very stupid to enter the Out of bounds areas! the complex we are on has absolutely everything and its all to a very high standard, must admit we are looking forward to it.

If you get the weather, there is no better place than this country to holiday! of all the forign destinations we have been to, I still rate Scotland as the best holiday we have ever had. Dorset is awesome.
