    ps2659 ..cheapest (named) I can find so far to Cuba is 1382 for both but its in Playa Guardalavaca
    at the Club Amigos on the 8th from Gatwick
    I have come across an allocation on arrival for about £140 less which brings it close to your budget but the system is down its with https://www.thomascook.co.uk from Manchester on the 5th Feb same area as above Guardalavaca seems like the price will be around £1250

    What a stupidly expensive place it is!

    Last year I took 10 people for 10 days in Germany and 4 days in Prague (peak season) for under £3,500 including flights, accomodation and car hire (of which I had to pay 3/10 - £1,050).

    This year we are looking at Italy, again for 10, but I am having trouble finding 1 weeks accomodation alone for that sort of money, so it looks like a minimum of £8,000 (of which I have to pay 7/10 - £5,600) which is out of the question.

    What I'm looking for is:
    • Two weeks anytime mid July to Mid August
    • Fly Gatwick - Milan (Easyjet, around £30 a head)
    • One week in the lake district (villa - proper bedrooms, no sofa beds)
    • 2-3 days in Tuscany/Umbria (agritourismo)
    • 2-3 days in Rome (agritourismo/hotel)
    • Fly Rome-Gatwick (Easyjet again, around £30 a head)
    • Total budget £5,000 tops (less if possible)

    The problem is compounded by the fact my sister lives in Italy (hence the trip to Umbria) and I foolishly told her we were coming before I had researched it and she will be very disappointed if we don't show.

    Failing that can anyone suggest an alternative suitable for a large party of mixed ages (15-50)? I thought of Florida, which would please the younger travellers but I'm sure it would bore me stupid.

    Any ideas welcome.
  • Hi any chance there is flights to turkey between the 27th July to 3rd August for 2 adults one child of 14 (15 on 9 th Aug) and one 6 year old. For a week please.

    I really need it to come in under £800 if that is possible (if not ill leave hubby at home:j )

    Thanks Lisa

  • Hi there, Just looking for a bargain package deal with the following info-

    2 adults & 1 child (aged 4)
    Can travel anytime between 31/3/07 & 4/4/07
    7 days (would much prefer 10 but it seems to really limit the availibilty & scope for a bargain doesn it?)
    Would like 2 bedrooms/family room if poss
    Airports - best for us would be Bournmouth/Southampton/Exeter/Bristol or Gatwick at a push
    Don't really want a night flight if poss
    Destination - Greece or Canaries - the resort not too hectic though please - it would be nice to go somewhere that caters for kids & adults especially at night
    Quite near a beach - easily walkable for a 4 yr old
    Max budget £1,000

    Hope thats not too much info, I'm a bit of a newbie so please forgive me if I've missed something.

    Thanks so much for your help, Love Mummy Mummy
