Who's thinkin of summer 2010?

Options
Hi everyone :)

I'm thinking it's time me and the other half start looking for a holiday for summer 2010. Anyone else thinking of their summer hols yet? haha

We don't really have a clue where we want to go, and we also don't have specific dates that we need to travel.

If I go to the big usual sites I have to specify dates and locations for any flight searches out of the Belfast airports. There are of course lots of adverts for those who can fly out of the big mainland airports, but I'd rather fly direct. So are there any useful sites that cater for us Norn Iron folk and I can do big searches for all holidays flying out of Belfast?

I'm also looking ideas for somewhere to go if anyone's had a really good holiday in the last few years and wants to recommend somewhere. I'm 32. She is 24. We want somewhere that is sunny and we can get a tan. Also nice bars and restaurants in the evenings, and she is also insisting on good shops too! Left-field ideas also welcome as we have done the usual Spain/Med/Greece holidays in the past.

Hoping everyone wants to share, and maybe start getting excited about some warmer weather haha

    For flights I usually use one of the Screenscrapers sites that Martin Lewis recommends - http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-flights

    You can put any airport in as the departure point.

    I'm thinking of 2010 hols too. Have loads of ideas but the flights are so much more expensive than last year :(. We are tied to school holidays because of DH's job.

  • I got good flights to Pisa for a week - £239 for 5 of us return and we are self catering for a week plus 1 weeks car hire for about £400 - all in was half the price of a trip to France, and despite trying to support the UK economy and holiday industry again this year ferries to England were £380 - fingers crossed for some sunshine for a change!!
    Feel free to thank me, it makes my toes tingle and my ears go warm :T

    :) I love Hols!! Going to Lanzarote in 2 weeks and already planning the summer.

    What about Easyjet flights out of Belfast to Palma or Nice - book a hotel on-line with a pool. Both places have good bars/restuarants/shops.

    Enjoy looking for something - I love it!!!
