As it begins to turn properly autumnal, I'm thinking ahead to next year's holidays (February half term, Easter hols, summer or Oct half term). We would be limited to school holidays.
I'm wondering about a holiday that would work for us as a family then and interested to hear different itineraries , holiday types and destinations that you've done and loved and that I may not have thought of, UK, short haul or long haul.
So far we've done all inclusive package holidays to the Canaries & Balearics, beach / sailing / active package holidays to Greece & France, family friendly, self catering holiday parks in Wales & Cornwall (e.g. Bluestone), and city breaks to London and Paris which worked really well too.
My kids love swimming and waterslides, they like having other kids around to play with, they are good 'travellers'. DH & I like the option of a kids club / babysitting (not essential though), we all like having lots to do (activities on site and places to visit nearby).
Now the kids are getting a bit older I wonder about going a bit more long haul, to somewhere very 'different' but also wonder if it would be lost on them still at this age and maybe better to wait.
DH and I loved the mountain, both summer (hiking and biking) and winter (skiing) pre-kids. Not sure when is a good age to take them to that kind of resort. Is Club Med any good?
Not interested in Dubai, and not convinced about Disneyland anything, but realise the kids might love it..
Would love your suggestions!
