    It's a big birthday next year and trying to do something different. We have been around the world (in the brouchures anyway!) and still cannot come up with something exciting and within our price range. Please don't think I we are ungrateful but we have been to Mexico several times and wanted to try somewhere different but in the same area of the world.

    I really want to go to Aruba but the prices are quite high. We've ruled Panama out for one reason or another .

    Sorry for any confusion:o

    I have been to Cuba three times and would highly recommend it, it should be quite a lot cheaper than Aruba too.

    That is a very good question. I have certainly contacted people with better quotes, as have others on here. This board relies on people being polite enough to come and update their post but sadly, that rarely happens.

    Well the Tamarijn Aruba is looking favourable at the moment at £1608pp. We have to then fly from Newcastle to Gatwick and stay overnight the evening before which will add a little to cost and hassle but I'm sure it will be worth it.

    Many thanks to everyone

    have you rang them direct because I looked on the website and its says to call the company, i checked for flights with sri lanka airlines on your dates direct and the have nothing showing on there website, make sure also that the transfers are included in the cost, either boat transfers or sea plane.

    this seems awfully cheap for that time of year

    thanks
