    We have our own annual travel insurence and are prepared to fly easyjet a day early as it represents a substatial saving on the quotes we have had so far, however if you can get a good price for an included flight that would be good also. Can fly from Birmingham / East Midlands / Luton / Manchester / Heathrow in that order of preference!
    Thanks, Matt & Vicki (Honemooners!)

    This hotel was recommended to us by a travel agent at the weekend but if there are any other suggestions in the Balearics/Spain/Portugal it would be much appreciated.
    With our baby we don't want a long flight and a family friendly hotel is a must.

    Its our first family holiday so hopefully someone here can help us!!!
