I have had to cancel my family's holiday because of a sudden family bereavement. We have decided to go away in October because I don't want my dh and ds to have no holiday this year. My dh normally books all that stuff and I want to do it to give me something to do to keep going. I don't know where to start so I naturally thought of here.
I would really appreciate specific suggestions from people's experience. We have 2 weeks and my dh wants hot sun for tanning on the beach and good restaurants in the evening. My ds (4) needs sandcastle-sand and a calm sea because I want to teach him to swim. Ideally we'd like beachside restaurants so my ds can paddle while we linger over dinner. I just want to look forward to something. Budget is really just as much as we can afford so we'll stretch if we need to.
Many thanks.
