    Istanbul is a very good idea - totally forgot about that :D Got a couple of friends who have been to Croatia too and loved it so will look into the Dalmatian Coast as well.

    Egypt sounds good too and an established tourist destination (sometimes it's difficult when I get suggestions because I've no idea what's there! I spose that's cos I've done most of the "obvious" places).

    I was actually thinking of Mexico as well, but like you say it's close to Cuba. Wasn't sure if it was worth flying into one, doing a week, flying to the other for a week and then coming home.

    How about Istanbul for a city break or maybe somewhere on the Dalmation Coast?

    For more long haul, what about somewhere middle eastern, Egypt (I know it's part of Africa but not really seen as African if you know what I mean) , it really does depend on what you are looking for but from the places you have listed non are middle easterm/arabic, perhaps you should try these types of countries, they are within easy reach for a weeks holiday

    as you are already planning to go to Cuba heading that way, say to Mexico, may not be a good choice, you could do Mexico another year
