Beat My Quote! Travel Agents Thread

Right, so after years of not going on holiday (16yr old son is Autistic and prefers familiar surroundings) we are finally going on holiday and kinda decided that as this is probably our last family holiday (doubt autistic son will want to leave the country again) we have decided for a short break in New York during half term holiday. Like I said, we don't go holiday, ever, so I have no idea how much luggage is included (please don't laugh ) but I would expect with Virgin we are each allowed luggage. Sooo can anyone beat the quote? Thank you :beer:

Hi

I'm looking for a hotel that has lots of things for kids to do, in particular, I've been having a look at hotels with Waterparks on site.

I've looked at the holiday villages but they tend to be pricey so I've been looking at Turkey.

Any info from previous experience would be greatly appreciated. If you could detail how much you paid that would give me an indication of what to expect.

Thanks
