    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).

    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.

    Ta.

    Hi

    Due to new job my holiday is restricted to 7th - 22nd august. I am look for a 1 week holiday - all inclusive to either Egypt or Turkey - for under £500 each (2 travelling). From London Airports or Norwich

    I have found holidays under £500 but the hotels all have very bad reviews so if someone could recommend a hotel that would be great

    Many Thanks

    Rachel
