    We are thinking of going to Cuba next year for two weeks, later in the year though, October/November. Will mean going no summer holiday but may be able to fit in a short break at a caravan.

    If you can, make that end Sept into Oct or end Nov into Dec to avoid the worst rainfall!

    Yes, was going to say the two of us did two weeks in Bali RO, ate like royalty, went out on the lash every night, had 5 days out travelling round the island, bought loads of presents and souvenirs and still spent less than £500!

    Mind you, you'd probably manage all that on a quarter of that and still be home in time for tea and medals! :D

    ...In cash. The remaining £3000 needed was put on the Capitol one :p

    You was definitely doing something suspicious to only spend £500!! I spent more than that on beer :p

    we did a mini break in benidorm the other year AI for about what you are paying!! Lovely little hotel, amazing staff, but the food was a bit boring.
    We had a great time and made the best of it, went for a mooch every day and luckily found an english bar - up a great big hill - that did sanmigel for about £1.50 a pint and very nice it was too.
    We had a very good meal there too for about £10 each - however we found most other places very expensive.
    Must say that since discovering the AI jolly, we would never do anything else, there is always a choice, but we still splash out at least once in a local.
