    This is not really a "beat my quote" but more a general appeal for help!

    I haven't been on a package holiday since 1995, as my husband and I have been driving to/camping in France for the last 15 years. It's now just me and 2 of my daughters, who will be 17 and 12 respecively next year. I'd like if possible to get away somewhere, particularly as I think that it will be the last time the elder one is with us, but cost is (of course) an issue.

    Basically I haven't a clue where to start looking, but the following are my constraints :
    1. Flying from Glasgow
    2. Leaving prob in the week starting 25th June
    3. Had thought about Greece or Minorca
    4. Prodably half board - wouldn't want fewer meals, as want to watch the amount of spending money necessary when we get there, and put off all inclusive by horror stories about quality of food and excessive amounts of alcohol consumed.
    5. Somewhere suitable for my dughters ages, although they are both quitequiet and wil be happy as long as we can lie in the sun!

    Can anyone help with suggestions of where to go, who we should book through, and how much I shopuld expect to pay?
