Where can I go on (desparatly needed & deserved)holiday?

[KatyMac]

I work for 50 weeks a year.

I have a week in August (booked Southwold)

And a week (or just over) in December from 24th til the day before they go back to school 2nd (Tues - I think)

Would like reasonably warm, prepared to spend a bit

Help.....

Where are the seychelles(that's spelt wrong)?

But Maurituis would be worth it

Have you been Mrs D ?
It looks lovely (and hardly more expensive than tenerife)

Fabulous and my sister honeymooned there in May.

We loved it

Who did you book with?

Will there be enough for DD (she's 7)

The Seychelles are in the Indian Ocean, about 1000 miles east of Kenya. Very very beautiful. We went in August - I think the temperatures are fairly constant throughout the year, not sure about rainfall - you'd need to check.

The Seychelles

Goa keeps coming up...does anyone know what that's like?

I have spent all evening on the internet looking for a holiday and I've got precicly nowhere

Not a finite price, not a definate destination, just more confused and frustrated

thailand

went to goa in 1990/91 and loved it, tho it was more hippified then. Great weather tho (but i did get dysentery there)

I just want to pay someone to decide book it all then I can blame them when it all goes wrong

what is your budget?

Well tenerife that week is about 2400 - so I'd go to about 3000 - 3200 for somewhere nice (that's 2a +1x7yo)
No injections or maleria

having a rummage for you

Lovely - then I can blame you

No really make a decision for me please

found the bahamas for £3271, freeport, island palms hotel, on expedia.

any good?

phuket for £2478 close to beach

it looks like I could get something really good like bali or Thailand or somewhere for less than 2500, nice site (not seen it before)

Thanks Lou - lots more to think about now

if you go to phuket, don't stay in patong, in fact i would recommend you go to one near the airport, nai yang or nai thon, small no loud clubs, beautiful beaches, no groups of rowdy tourists, its v laid back (i'm going to nai yang again in nov)

it might even be cheaper to book flights and accommodation independently by doing some research yourself

and if you do go to phuket, don't bother with car hire until you get there, it's a lot cheaper and there are loads to choose from

as long as you avoid patong you should be ok tho, or you could have a look at ko lanta, it's a faorly big island, still a bit hippified, rooms at all rates

nearest airport for ko lanta is krabi, and then about an hour and a half drive, inc 2 five min car ferries

woah - so much information

Off to bed Thanks loads for your help - I might ring some companies tomorrow as I' all of a fluster

Someone has just suggested a nile cruise - I hink I could fancy that
