    Whats your budget?


    Hi SC- my budget is to get away for as little as possible!!

    We are 'borrowing' two kids from relatives to take away, as the kids dont get to go on holiday due to parents financial circs. We have kind of taken it upon ourselves to provide a bit of life experience by taking them away each year, so in terms of cost to us we would like to keep it to a minimum!

    Having had a very quick look through, I think a midweek 3 - 5 days away somewhere may be the option we will have to go with, but if something 'different' came along then I may pay a little more. ( I did think about Salou area, with a day a portaventura for them - and me :)

    thanks for the quick reply

  • Hi

    I looking for a 7 night Nile Cruise for 2 (All Inclusive, Excursions Included) departing Monday 9th April (They seem to be Monday departures, but any day 7th to 10th April would be fine). Bristol airport would be favourite, but I'm guessing I'd be lucky! So Gatwick or Heathrow I'm assuming. Around the £400 per person is my budget.

    (Also, I'm in Cornwall, and the whole "getting to the airport, parking etc etc" always adds another 100 quid to the holiday generally. Any ideas as to cheap Cornwall returns (plane, coach, train) to tie into the departure date would be appreciated - but it's totally secondary as far as my actual request is concerned)

    Thanks

    Hi Could anybody help to find me the cheapest accomodation...I have flights already, and transfer sorted.


    Lanzarote, Costa Teguise
    23 Aug to 6th Sept 07
    2 adults, 2 children 14 & 15 yrs although sure they will be classed as adults with most companies.
    Need at least a 2 bed apartment. SC or HB (taking daughters friend so has to be 2)
    Cheapest I have found so far is £344 for Celeste Apartments SC through Findmeaccom.com.

    Will go HB if it seems to be more economical in the long run.

    Just want to check there is nothing better on offer before booking.

    Can book straight away.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    but i doubt very much if you will get any other hotel/apartments cheaper especially as you want 2 bedrooms.
