    I wish to return to the same hotel as last year but the cost has gone up and I would be very grateful if someone could find me a good deal. The quote I have is for September but we can go anytime in June or July or first two weeks of August: Details are:

    The Holiday Dates: 09/09/2009 for 14 nights (see note for flexibility)
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults

    Also last year a regular on this forum told me a way to get a decent quote from the Thomson website but I cannot remember how?? It was something like do a hotel search and then add flight which usually worked out cheaper than package quote for exacty the same thing. If this sounds remotely familiar could someone PM please.

    Thank you all in advance
