    Holiday Destinations - October

    OK, so trying not to be to tight with my cash although we are buying a house, but fancy a holiday abroad later this year and looking for recommendations. Requirements:
    1. Kid friendly (2 kids 3 & 5)
    2. May take the elder lad, so 3 bedroom required
    3. Beach (or pool, whichever will keep the kids quiet)
    4. No Pirates, so Somalia a no go...
    5. Cheapish (Normally we would go to Wales or the like which would normally cost about £600-700 all in)
    6. Villa preferred (we dont like common people) but open to anything
    7. Fly from Manchester


    We've done Northern France but we drove. Not really done flying with the girls as we think it will be hassle. Turkey? Italy? Websites would be good...

    Where do you guys recommend then?
    I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

        Any specific? Bloody airlines screw you dont they... you fine a decent cheapo villa, and the flights drop in around £1000. Not really worth it for a week!

            +1 head down to the lizard (which has its own climate) and you will probably get a week of sun.

            Cadgwith Cove Cottages Main Page are cheap (and good) when you compare them to anyone else.
            merely at clientco for the entertainment

                Afghanistan is really cheap and sunny. Dont pay no attention to the reports on the news they paint a worse picture than reality.
