Hello All
Kate & I have finally decided that come rain or shine we will go on proper holiday this year ![]() ![]() ![]() Due to lack of proper rest and plethora of problems we have had over the last couple of years (work, accidents, money)we are slowly approaching mental breakdown and if don't get some proper R&R in the sunshine we will surely break down and reach a state akin to Michael Douglas in "Falling Down" ![]() Although we both travelled quite a bit, in my case mainly for work, ( bl**dy Poles: stealing people's jobs all around the world ![]() The guidelines for us are: - we would like to go for 7-10 days some time in September - we want it to be a beach type holiday, so temperatures in the range of 25-40 - we normally like to do quite a lot of exploring/sightseeing wherever we go, but this time the focus is on REST & RELAX though we wouldn't say no to some sightseeing - we would prefer an all-inclusive package - the budget would be between £350-450 / person (the less the better ![]() - at the moment we are considering Turkey, Tunisia, Morocco and the Canary Islands - not really interested in the Greek Islands Any suggestions/bits of knowledge on the subject will be highly appreciated! Thanks Martin |

Off to Turkey in late July, paid around 350 per person, but that's bed & breakfast for a fortnight.
Will update on how we get on if I remember ![]() We chose Turkey because it's outside the Euro, possibly a bit cheaper?! |

As for the currency, all depends how well Turkish economy is doing in relation to the UK's, e.g. Poland's outside of the Euro zone but try going there this year and you'll find that your hard earned £s will not get you half as far as they used to.. Quote:
I must admit I'm a bit worried about that.. Last edited by martianskippy; 02-06-10 at 02:55 PM. |
