    Sorry, derrrr, I forgot most of the important stuff!

    Fly from - Gatwick/Heathrow (or even a south coast airport if cheaper)

    Date from - Wed 5th Sep to Sun 9th Sep (can leave Tues night and come back earlier if needs be)

    Budget - Around £300 each (ideally All inc but if food & drink is very cheap then we can go HB or room only etc)

    Thanks for these. Sorry, my internet connection died on me yesterday argh!

    Yeah basically we're just looking to go away tomorrow but we have to be back by Sunday.

    Found a 3* SC Lanzarote one, flying Thurs & returning Sunday for £186 each... don't think I'll get much cheaper... :confused:
