  • Hi folks, thanks for all your help a few weeks back. My girlfriend had a great time in lanzarote.This one is a more important holiday --- I'm going this time!! :-)

    1- BHX or MAN prefered- will consider Gatwick, heathrow or others (depending on price)
    2- 7 days (we have a max of 6.5 weekdays holiday so could do a bit more than 7 if needed depending on leave date)
    3- leaving 17th-23rd Nov 2006 (need to make sure we arrive back by late 30th) - yes, this weekend!!
    4- night flights not a problem
    5- 2 adults only
    6- All Inclusive
    7- Relaxing beach resort with some activities
    8- Don't want canaries as gf went last week!!
    9- golden sandy beaches, clear waters and lots of sun!
    10- Prices ASAP please
    11- Budget for whole party is ideally less than £1000 but can stretch to £1200 if needed

    We're looking at following locations:
    - Egypt (although we're abit scepticle and would probably want a large resort with everything as we're not ones for being pestered bylocals trying to sell you things you don't want!)
    - Carribean (mexico coast?) - might be abit far and costly for a shortbreak?
    - cape verde, Sal (stuggling to find the 'new' direct flights?)
    - any other nice and sunny places (except canaries.)

    Thanks all

    Simon

    5-Party size & kids ages - 6 adults
    6-Board basis you require (ie self-catering, all-inclusive, h/b, bb...etc) not bothered
    7-Type of resort, ie quiet, lively - want to go to Florida
    8-Any resorts/countries you WOULD NOT go to - any others
    9-Any other neccesary factors, ie must have kids - Must be a villa or other accomodation with 1 room per couple and have pool, not too far out from the parks
    10-Prices required by what day/time? - soonish
    11-Max. budget FOR THE WHOLE PARTY!!! £5,000 (but would to do it as cheap as possible.
