    Hi Im looking for a holiday to Turkey/Egypt in a good aquapark hotel suitable for 2 adults, 2 kids (7&5) and a baby. Iv specifically looked at the Aqua Fantasy Waterpark in Turkey however Im struggling to get a good price on this. Im also interested in Aqua Blu in Sharm El Sheikh however again trying to get the price lower than the £1495 Iv been quoted. I know this is very cheap for the 5 of us All Inclusive but every penny is important at the moment and even a £50 saving is a few months clothes for the new baby. Iv promised the kids a holiday for instead of xmas presents so would like to book early to pay it off before then. We can go on any dates Feb-July is possible 2011 although beginning of March seems to be cheapest.

    Any help would be appreciated. We usually Fly from MAN however Blackpool and Liverpool are also very close. I have a Visa Electron to save booking fees and we arent bothered about in flight meals.

    Just to add I have got a good price for Aqua Fantasy... £1358 on First Choice's website because of online discount and free child place. If I wasn't waiting for CTC to pay me the 7 weeks they owe me Id of put down the deposit today!
    Saving needed to emigrate to Oz
    *September 2015*

    £11,860.00 needed = £1,106 in savings
