A challenge to you all

stw48

OK, here goes.
2010 is the year of our 25th wedding anniversary and my 50th birthday.
We have set a budget of £3000 and we want a very special holiday, the thoughts so far are Japan, Bali, Mexico, Australia etc etc...
We probably want one destination, and certainly flying from Manchester. Any thoughts?
I may add other things as suggestions come in.
Anyone who has done something similar would be most helpful.

miamoo

I have never been to the far east so cannot really comment only to say I would love to visit Japan. I would say that Mexico is amazing, and depending on what time of year you want to go, should be high on your list.

My holiday of a lifetime was to this resort in Fiji, my second favourite place in the World after Fiji...

Heaven on Earth location with some of the most beautiful and gracious people you could wish to meet. Gourmet food all day every day, nightly entertainment and a full programme of available activities if you so wish.
If you have ever thought of a romantic champagne beach BBQ for two on a deserted island where a boat will pick you up the following morning, it is possible here.

Alternatively, a few of my friends have stayed at this resort and loved it...

What do you expect to get out of the holiday? - you obviously want an experience, but do you want some beach in with that? - or to see cities?

Beach would be great but experiences are also high on the agenda, help would be appreciated...

What about cruising?

I'm afraid my wife and boats do not mix.

How did you get to Fiji?
Did you go from Manchester?
I could do London for a special holiday.

OK folks, seriously any help is appreciated. It is a one off and a huge spend, once in a lifetime stuff.
