    I have stayed in a few Riu's and never been dissapointed , you even get optics in your room for a tipple on your balcony as well as soft drinks, beer and water the Riu Bachata is very good but couldnt find any fantastic delas for that hotel but the Merengue is close by and the Mambo and you get to use all 3 except for the evening meal.

    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel

    Hi, looking to join my family for a week in Orlando. They are staying for 2 weeks but I can only manage one. They are flying on 24 May 2007 (Whitsun week) from Gatwick. I'd prefer to fly from Cardiff or Bristol as I don't really want to travel to London just for a week away.
    I'm looking for a flight only, just me, and understand that charter flights fly into Sanford and schedule into Orlando International. What are the advantages/disadvantages of Sanford?

    Hi There!

    Sloppychops suggestion of Gozo was ideal but sadly beyond our budget.

    We've narrowed our requirements down to Greece perhaps Kefalonia, Ithaca or Thassos.
    Happy with mainland, too or would consider flying to Athens and jumping on a ferry (we are adventurous travellers)

    1-Birmingham or East Mids but can do Manchester if we have to.
    2-7 nights
    3-Between 30th July and 4th August 2006.
    4-Night flights acceptable
    5- 2 adults
    6- We prefer basic! So room only, self catering or B&B if the price is right.
    7- Fairly quiet,chilled out maybe a handful of tavernas/bars that serve local dishes.
    8- Blackpool in the sun..no thanks! No theme pubs, burger bars, lager louts etc., Not into family resorts, built up complexes or screaming kids.
    9-Nice beach, a few tavernas/bars, some historical interest or natural beauty is always a plus.
    10-Beach essential. Don't mind sand or pebbles! Recently had surgery but okay with moderate walking.
    11-Up to around £700. That's the total budget for both of us

    So far we've found Thassos for £259 (including all flight supplements, fuel levies, etc). Can anyone out there do better?

    Cheers :beer:

    Would like to go to Corfu/ Crete or somewhere in Turkey

    Leave Gatwick
    2 wks
    between 31st July - 4 th Aug
    Night flight fine
    2 Adults
    Any board
    Would like to be near resort centre and Sandy beach and would like to have a pool

    Have not been to these places so am up for advice - did look at Sidari in Corfu and Hersonnisos in Crete but don't know if these are the best places. We are both only 30 so would llike some bars - especially cocktail ones!!! would definitely like a bit of life but does not have to be major
    Many thanks
