Alright peeps
I am in need of some advice if you don't mind. I have got my 40th coming up in August and are now thinking of where to go on holiday to..
I have just started to work a month before Christmas so couldn't really think about it months and months in advance... I know I defo can't go in August. way to expensive..
At the moment I am thinking about the Gran Canarias.. I am wondering when is the best time to go, April, May, June, July? It will just be and my wife, so not really a fan of loads of screaming kids I'm looking for somewhere cheap but still a decent place to stay, flights as well, plus even renting a car..
We are thinking possibly 7 or 10 days

What do you like doing and what is your budget?0

Holidays to the Canaries have been noticeably rising in price in the last couple or so years from what regular visitors tell.
Maybe due to more demand since punters are shying away from Egypt and Tunisia etc.0 -

I have only been aboard once in my life before and that was about 4 years ago... I don't know where else I want to go lol0 -
Have a look on icelolly.com Choose anywhere as your destination. Select dates and airports from. You can then filter star ratings and board basis.
Check reviews of any hotels etc b4 booking.
May onwards, mainland Spain has decent weather.0 -
Nething under 1k all inclusive. We should be able to afford that as long as we can pay bit by bit and not in one go

Is your choice of Gran Canaria and all inclusive because you are stuck for ideas/playing safe?
What do you and your wife like to do when you're on holiday?0 -

Honestly this time around I have no idea where I wanted to go.. Last time was dead certain about going to Jamaica. This time has really been a headache for me
We were originally thinking about Greece but then the gran Canaries stood out more.. Nice hot weather, beaches etc....
We definitely want to get away for a week or even 10 days or depending on the price 14 days (but then I am thinking isnt that too long)0 -
Warning about booking a holiday a year ahead. I have booked my holiday with Thomas Cook over a year ago and have paid by Direct Debit over 12 months. The same holiday is now on Sale for 800 pounds cheaper. OK I know that Holiday prices go up and down but this is a 30% decrease. The only lesson I have learnt is Don't book your Holiday until two or three months before you want to go, as Loyalty means nothing.0
