DelHi I hope that you can help!
I would like to organise something for our 25th wedding anniversary. I am aware that it is very late in the day but hoping to get something last minute.
We cannot be flexible about the dates I'm afraid but are flexible about where we stay. We are looking for just a 3 night break somewhere, close to the sea and fairly luxurious.

Can't believe how much flight prices seem to be up to Florida or US!
looking to take my girls - Wife & 2 Children 4 & 8 to Florida for a summer break.
We had a budget of £2k for the flights and we have accomodation and car sorted.
I would prefer to go Friday 20th August until Sunday 5th Sept from manchester to Tampa or Orlando or even better Sarasota Bradenton but I think the best I am going to do is what I have been quoted on.
Thursday 19th for 2 weeks flying Thomas Cook on a crap plane with 29" seats and no TV's in head rests for £2196 with no luggage, No meals! I am told you can pay for one bag at the airport rather than 4 online.
HELP!! if you can!0 -
Hi there,
I've been quoted £414 per person for 5 star all inclusive for 7 nights at the Ambiente Palace Hotel in Corfu on the 14th August from Bristol. (for 2 persons) The quote is from Broadway Travel. Annoyingly quotes for the week after are much lower and quotes for this particular week were much lower before I could afford to book a holiday!
I'm able to travel between the 14th and 18th of August from either Bristol or Cardiff and aiming to get a holiday like this or similar for around £300. Any help would be much appreciated!
