    Hi i have only just found this forum on here and think its brillient. Would you please be able to help me see if i can get this deal cheaper. Me and my three friends would like to book this holiday tonight. If their are any hotels which are similar are either in the same location or nearer the beach (if you can call it in that in marmaris) then we would look into that too. Our main concern is that we have a nice pool as we will spend our days around it. I do think this is a very good deal though.

    Hello can anyone get me a better price than Travel Republic £258 to stay at the San Eloy Tossa

    Date 9 - 13th June (4 nights)
    2 adults
    Board basis - all inclusive

    I can book ryanair flights Durham Tees - Girona £60 all in return

    I did have an all in budget for the break of £200 but because of the way the flights fall I am going to have to do a 4 night break as opposed to 3 night.

    LOCATION - CALAN BOSCH
    DATE - 31 MAY 09 (OR UPTO 3 JUNE 09)
    DURATION - 7 OR 10 NIGHTS
    BOARD - HALF BOARD
    PARTY - 2 ADULTS, 2 CHILD(AGED 3 + 2)
    AIRPORT - BIRMINGHAM OR EAST MIDS(NO MEALS)

    FOUND XCAPEWITHUS DOING ACCOMODATION FOR £487 STUDIO
    AND BMI BABY FROM EAST MIDS ON 31/5 FOR £367.92 (+£78 EXTRA FOR 3 BAGS). TRANSFERS WOULD BE XTRA.

    Need flights as follows:

    London - Sydney - Fiji - London

    Dates are flexible but ideally leaving UK April 8th, leaving Sydney for Fiji on or around April 22nd, leaving Fiji on the 29th.

    Have found:

    London to Sydney return for £590 with Japan Airlines, including a two night stopover in Tokyo.
    Sydney to Fiji return for £285 with....can't remember right now.

    Happy to do the trip either going from Fiji back to Sydney then London or Fiji direct to London. Like the idea of the two night stopover as I get a chance to sample another country....and break up the journey.

    Can anyone better the quotes I have?!

    Thanks in advance,

    Dan
