    Hi

    I'm looking for a 21 day holiday in Barbados.

    Departing 9th April 2007 (will accept 7th, 8th + 10th)
    Returning 30th April 2007 (will accept any date after this)

    I currently have on reserve 2 return flights with BA @ £486 each
    Going out on the 11th April, back on the 2nd May.
    I have to decide whether to book them by the end of the week.

    I am planning on watching the CWC,taking in the matches on the 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21 + 28th, my wife just wants to lie on the sun lounger.

    My budget £3500 (i've paid for the match tickets already)

    Airports - any from Birmingham southwards.

    Location- anywhere, Holetown on the west coast, down to the south coast resorts.

    I either want a cheap, but nice self catering hotel, on the beachfront if possible. remainder of budget to pay for the meals etc.

    (Butterfly beach hotel ?
    Thomson's brochure is saying £729 for 14 days from 11/04, and says 21 days may be available )

    Or an AI hotel.

    Or I take up the BA flights, in which case I need acommodation organising(s/c, H/B or AI) I will consider anything with a pool (don't mind sharing it !)

    TIA

    Hi,

    quite specific now so here goes:

    1 - All Midlands, Luton, Stansted, Doncaster
    2 - 14 days total, but I'm looking for about 10 days in one place, then 3 days near/in PortAventura.
    3 - 21/7/06 after 6pm or 22/7/06
    4 - Yes
    5 - 1 Adult, 2 kids (10 and 8)
    6 - Any really, although AI would be useful for the 10 days, just b&b for PortAventura is fine.
    7 - for the 10 day bit, kid friendly, beach, pool etc.
    8 - Obviously anywhere else apart from Spain!
    9 - Car hire and tickets for PortAventura for the 3 days.
    10 - Got money, good to go.
    11 - I'm looking at max of £1000 for the three of us.

    Grand plan is this - fly to southern Spain (because we know and like it), near Marbella is good (have been to Hotel Cortijo Blanco before) for 10 days r&r and just chill!
    Then drive up the coast to Alicante and see our former au-pair and fiance for lunch/dinner, then drive inland to a tiny village called Sempere, my parents house is there and it's where they are both buried.
    Then onto Xativa (or Jativa ;)) for the night at at the Hotel Murta.
    Then to PortAventura and some fun!

    However, this involves a fair few miles, so maybe another tack might be to stay around PortAventura vicinity and just get the train/fly down south to Alicante (Sempere is about 3.5hrs inland from Alicante) for a couple of days?

    What I'd like is to be able to spend some time with the boys, but also to relax.
    I'm just in the process of seperating and need some me-time, but cost comes in and so does practicality.
    Driving does not bother me but it is a holiday with the boys, I'd like them to enjoy it doing what they would like rather than driving all round Spain.

    Complex, but I think I'm in the right place for help on this one!!

    Thanks all in advance,

    My Mrs has fallen for the idea of going self catring to Play Blanca for two weeks starting August 10th this year. Ideally from East Midlands airport (B'ham being second choice). Our budget is around £600 each and I guess we are looking for a package holiday more than anything else although anything heaps better would be looked at.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?
