I live on the South coast, so prefer Bournemouth or Southampton airport, but could do Heathrow. Don't fancy driving abroad! Any ideas, we like exploring but equally like swimming pools! TIA budget approx. £350 pp

Ryanair from Bournemouth is your best bet. I have just seen flights to Barcelona in August for £58 per person. I have flown to Carcassone for the same price. Plenty other destinations from Bournemouth with Ryanair to look at

Have a look at the Brittany Ferries 5 or 3 day deals and sail to St Malo/ Cherbourg/ Caen from Portsmouth. They are a LOT cheaper than their standard ferry tickets!

(St Malo- and Dinan inland- are lovely).
