Hi everyone,
Just wondered whether anyone could help my husband and i find a cheap holiday in June around the 23rd, we would like to celebrate our silver wedding anniversay, but are on a tight budget, we would like to spend approx 500 pounds max for 7 nights HB accommodation if poss. Portugal would be the top of our list but we would consider spain, bulgaria, tunisia or turkey. We would like to fly from any midlands airport, but would do manchester at a push.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.:beer:
Thanking you in advance
Celia

sent you the code for xl and also a number for a travel agent who might be able to lower the price (no promises) she often can do better prices on the hotels.
She needs to bring it below my quote of £586 inc transfersIf you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel0 -
Hi saveapenny
I'm sorry to be such a pain, but when would be the best time to ring that number you gave me.
Thanks
