    Hi everyone

    As yet I do not have any quotes to beat, I am just looking for some ideas.

    I have just been given the dates I can take leave this summer.

    Slightly limited but we could fly on either Sunday 5th, Monday 6th or Tuesday 7th June.

    Not too fussed which airport we fly from. Newcastle is the closest, but would not mind travelling from Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester or London (will consider others aswell)

    We are looking for a holiday for upto 7 days but not the usual summer Med holiday. Interested in America, Dubai, something different really.

    Maximum spend of £500 per person but would like to keep this as low as possible.

    Thank you in advance for any ideas
