    25th Wedding Anniversary
    Hi

    My OH and I will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary in June this year:eek: .

    We want to go abroad on our own and are thinking of perhaps Egypt as we have never been there before. Only want to go for a week as our daughter is due her first baby mid-May :j and so would like to spend time with them when the baby is first born.

    We would prefer AI, flying from Manchester around 14th or 15th June (anniversary is 16th June, but not averse to flying ANYTIME after 14th June, even if it doesn't actually incude the day of our anniversary). Budget is no more than £1000 for the 2 of us but would prefer to pay around £800 if at all possible.

    We have been to Menorca, Majorca, Bulgaria, Rhodes, Zante, Cyprus,
    Malta and Gran Canaria so would like to go somewhere different.

    Any suggestions welcome.

    Thanks and best wishes

    Carol
    Sorry Carol but you will need to come back with a quote first.

    Hi Sloppychops,

    Sorry, I've just recently joined and didn't realise at the time. As i was browsing the thread later on in a bit more detail i discovered the rule about pm'ing people (I've only pm'd people since then).
  • Is this a confirmed price via Teletext or a price you have just seen on screen as they tend to add extras on to the price you see on screen.
