Hi there
we've spent endless hours trying to find a decent looking holiday to either turkey or Ibiza for 10-14 nights in august next year. I work in a school so dates have to start and finish in august. The holiday would be for two adults and two children, aged 8 and 4 at the time of travelling. Can travel from pretty much anywhere but midlands are my closest airports. We're looking for a really fun family place with lots to keep our kids occupied. Would prefer hb or ai for under £1800. If anyone could help we'd be really grateful. Working in a school is great when you don't have to look for childcare but not so great when your budget is scuppered!!0 -

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post on so please move if necessary.
I'm looking for a holiday in the sun and near the sea in the school holidays. My wife and I are both teachers.
Requirements are:
2 adults
2 children (6 & 4).
Minimum 7 nights.
Ideally self catering.
We live in West Yorkshire so can travel from North/Midlands airports.
We are free for 4 weeks from 24th July and can travel any time.
We have a limited budget.
At the moment everything is coming in at £1500 - £2000. I would like to spend less than that.
If you need more info please let me know.
