Last minute Christmas sun holiday

Hi,

Hubby and I are thinking of not buying each other Christmas presents at all this year and trying to get last minute sun holiday over Christmas holiday...

Do you think we have any chance? Or do they normally go before they have a chance to go on sale?

And is there anything else apart from Egypt and Canaries that we should include on our list of possible places to go for tan and swim?

Ie somewhere warm enough and not needing any kind of Visa (Goa & Gambia do need Visa).

Thanks

    I've been 3 years ago and we did need them...
    It was only a piece of paper for few dollars, but it had to be sent for...
