    Doesnt have to be barcelona or even spain -anywhere will do as long as theres a beach with plenty of sunshine and the price is good.

    We dont mind to pay a little extra if the hotel includes breakfast or even all inclusive.
    Also we can stay until the 22nd as long as we do not return back to late in the night as we both have to return to work on the 23rd of august.
    We dont mind traveliing with a cheaper airline as the journey is only around 2 hours and 20mins long.

    Thanks in advance :)

    We're preety flexible on the dates we can travel, anytime from the 19th October - 7th December and we can fly out from Bristol or Cardiff (Birmingham at a push). We'd like to go for two weeks to Egypt in a decent hotel and all inclusive. The quote I've put here is froma company I've never heard of so not sure I'd go with them anyway - the closest quote I've got from someone reputable is £1,725.61 which is way over budget so that's a no-no. Any help would be appreciated...
