  • hi,

    we're interested in....

    either a 14 day cruise with Ocean village on the med in september...

    OR

    a 7 day cruise with 7 days staying in a hotel.

    Live in East Anglia, so any airports in south east/london/midlands would be ok.

    2 adults, both non-smoking (if that makes a difference).

    Any more info required, just ask!

    thanks,

    CS

    Hi Sloppychops

    Re Mytravel holiday to the Gambia - is this likely to decrease in cost if we were to hold off booking until nearer the time? Was basically about to book and then a little shiver of doubt made me think - what if its cheaper next week!!

    This is also a general question as I never really know when is the best time to book to get the cheapest deal. Are you better waiting until the last minute or if you find what you want should you go for it?

    Appreciate the advice!

    HiFi

    HiFi...Its risky waiting but then again early December is prtrobably the cheapest time to go away because hardly anyone want to travel so close to Christmas. In all honesty for what you might save about 20-30pp I wouldnt risk losing the holiday sloppy found for you its an excellent deal

    Hi, I'm looking to go somewhere exotic (maybe Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc) for 12 nights from 02nd October for as cheap as possible (i.e: under £600 per person - there are two adults).We can fly from Gatwick or, at a push, Heathrow.Night flights are fine.Thanks!(This is on behalf of my friend)
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
