      If you have kids its very hard to beat centreparcs. Well, if they had any kinder hotels in the uk they would beat them.

        We are for most of this year.

        But we have a spare week next week and would like a bit of sun on our backs if we do go anywhere.

        Any suggestions?

          I can get all the sun I need working away from home so I'll be making the most of my new car and hitting the English Riviera / Jurassic coast.

          It actually costs about as much as flying to Thailand and is less friendly to the environment but what can you do?
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Cheeky week diving just after Easter & a couple of weeks in Peru in Sept/Oct I hope.

            Mrs Pondy doesn't do staycations and who can blame her.

              Not quite sure what your budget it - but UAE is very nice this time of year.

                You can beat centreparcs by staying at home, eating at pizzahut and hungry horse pub, go down local swimming pool, go for a walk in a nearby wood.

                Utter waste of money centreparcs.

                  4 weeks on the Dalmation coast in August.

                  Can't wait.
