We would like to go somewhere hot in October Half Term - can I call upon the collective knowledge of Mumsnet for help with ideas? Budget is about £3000 total, 2 adults and DD 14. Have never done all inclusive, so can't decide whether to look for AI deals at up to £1000 each or spend considerably less on flight/hotel and use a chunk of the budget on eating out/activities whilst there. Another option is to spend half or so if we can find a cheap deal, and then do a city break over the Winter as well. What do people think? The only place that just does not appeal at all is Dubai (or similar) - apart from that we are open to anything!
This money is a bit of a windfall, we have never spent anything like this on a holiday so not really sure where to start (I do realise it is not a fortune compared to what many spend on trips!)
