    Off to Budapest in the morning. Got Boston, Florida, NYC booked for April. Nothing booked further than that as we are trying to conceive. First time since being together that we don't have a summer holiday planned!

    Off to Thailand later this month for 11 nights, not been before and looking forward to it! We were due to go to the Maldives at the end of April for 10 nights but have postponed as we are now moving mid Feb and need to get that out of the way, may possibly switch to doing a Sri Lanka/Maldives twin centre or just Mexico in May or maybe June.

    Then Egypt in Sept for 10 nights, we did Egypt twice last year and were impressed with the value for money both times, especially for someone as obsessed with coral reefs as I am.

    A few years ago I was struggling to make ends meet on a DMP so now I am debt free I live to travel :)

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    We're off to a waterpark hotel in Corfu with our 7yo, can't wait. If funds allow in October half term I'd like to go to center parcs or disneyworld Paris.


    Happy moneysaving all.

    I've booked a festival ticket for during summer. So has OH, but this year we are going to different festivals to each other.

    I think we've decided on a few days/long weekend in Barcelona in March/April-ish time, as we both want to go there. Since I renewed my passport about three years ago I'm determined to actually get to use it!

    I want to look for when would be the best value time to go, anyone know how I can find which dates would be cheapest? Or is it really going to be a case of spending hours changing the dates and re-searching in websites, then hoping the deal stays there long enough to get the time off work approved?
