Somewhere to go during October half term with a 2 year old and 5 month bump!

any ideas?
Don't want somewhere too far away. Don't want 'enlgish summer weather' either.....

Where might be nice?
TIA

What kind of weather do you want? Hot and sunny? How far do you want to fly?

Years ago I went with friends to the Canaries in November and it was lovely (back in the days when the object of a holiday was to toast in sun all day and party all night) so should be nice in Oct.

Alternatively somewhere like Dubai will be getting more reasonable temp-wise then. 7 hour flight though.

We are staying in a French cottage near the Somme at half term. We have gone through Welcome Cottages and it is great value - less than £350 for the week including ferry for 1 car and passengers. Mind you Dover would be a long drive for you I guess!

my sil always go to alcudia in majorca in october and they have reasonable weather and only a 2 1/2 hr flight.

WOULD LIKE SOMEWHERE WARM - but doesn't have to be sun bathing weather....

Hula - does that company do flights???

how about crete which has good weather throughout october generally - the south coast is more protested than the north.
cyprus also has a longer season, as does turkey where the charte flight go to all through October.
otherwise canaries will be a safe bet, though more expensive probabaly and maybe availability in nicer places will be harder to get.
those are the 4 place short haul i recommend clients go to in october half term.

Went to Portugal last Oct half term and had lovely weather - just right not too hot. Short flight as well. Cost us £549 2 adults 2 kids - last minute job.

We usually go away in October. The Greek islands are still nice but usually closing down for the season (lots of shops/restaurants shut), the weather is a bit more unpredicatable but still nice. Majorca is nice in October, I would say a little cooler than the Greek islands but still nice. This year we are going to Fuerteventura but as valleygirl says it works out a bit more expensive than our usual October holiday does.
