    The Quote itself: £1563 (£781.50 pp)
    Who the quote is from: Expedia
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Continental Airlines - Roosevelt Hotel
    The departure Airport/Post: Glasgow - Newark
    The Holiday Dates: 22/03/12 - 29/03/12
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 Adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): 3.5
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): Room Only
    Any specific requirements: No

    The dates are flexible, can actually go anytime in march - may, although would prefer to not go during half term when everyone else will be travelling.

    Not overly fussed on the hotel, any decent midtown hotel would be great. Flights have to be direct though.

    Any help is appreciated!

    TBH we not not committed to these hotels, so if there is something cheaper we would be more than willing to consider it. The key, for us, is the tour of Sri Lanka and luxury in the Maldives (we have been told that the Seychelles is too far away).

    Thanks
  • Sorry, I should have said that the Kuoni quote includes tour of Kandy and an Elephant Sanctuary
