    Car Insurance Carver!
    I've been quoted £2060 by Thomson for 2 people for 14 nights all inclusive in Blue Bay Villas, Puerto Plata for February 2012.

    I want to fly from Manchester Airport, but will consider other airports (preferably midlands).

    I want to go in either January of February 2012. Can anyone offer me a better deal. I would prefer to stay in this hotel but will consider others.

    I would like to book fairly shortly so replies ASAP please.

    Thanks
    credit card bill. £0.00
    overdraft £0.00
    Help from the state £0.00

    firstly airport hotel and parking package for LGW
    cheapest quote is with airport hotels.co.uk at a 4 star hotel staying overnight 11th sept 2011 and picking car back up 26th sept 2011 £91 for 2 adults and 1 3 year old,hotel will be named once booked.

    secondly i think the condo i have booked direct in bahama bay orlando has fallen through as owner is un responsive so i have been looking at alternatives,flights etc all ok so just accomodation.

    cheapest is either quality inn international drive or rosen inn at pointe orlando arriving 12th sept 2011 leaving 26th sept 2011,through expedia £453 all in.
    can anyone better this or come up with alternative hotel of same quality on i-drive?
