Holiday suggestions!

Hi,

I'm looking to go away at the end of August - can travel anytime from 28th until the 31st and would like something from 10-14 days ideally.

Would like AI preferably and want to go somewhere exotic (not too hot though!) but with some activities to do.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, can I find bargains now or should I wait until closer to the time?

Any advice much appreciated - I know it's a bit open ended but all suggestions welcome.

Thanks!

    I appreciate the post was general but that's because I really have no idea what I'm looking for! I just want some location ideas and I'll start looking then.

    I didn't see that post as it's not sticky and wasn't on the first few pages but will bear in mind when posting in the future.

    What sort of exotic things are you looking for?

    Have you thought about going to a Travel Agents and picking up some brochures for inspiration? I'm sure when you tell them you have no idea of where you want to go or how much you want to spend they'll be able to give you quite a large pile to look through.

    Do you want to stay in Europe or doesn't matter? How about the Key West, Florida https://www.keywest.com or the Bahama's https://www.bahamas.com (you can island hop) and with both places..tons of stuff to do and also places to just sit on your bum and relax :D

    You can search on internet frist and make a plan for your trip. Last time I go to China city - Lijian, it's really a beautiful place.

    I agree with incapuppy that it's pointless offering suggestions for 'somewhere exotic' without any clue at all of your budget.

    I could recommend the following but there's not much point if your budget is around £500 per person. :rolleyes:
    Moon Palace Resort
    Mexico (Cancun), Cancun

    Average per person £1619.10
    Total holiday price £3238.20

    Holiday Provided by Airtours Holidays 5-star.gif All inclusive, 14 nights
    The last word in refined elegance and luxury, the Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort combines state-of-the-art sports and Spa facilities with sumptuous furnishings, generous accommodation
