I have 13 nights off soon and I'm looking for somewhere warm to go to. I would like plenty of beach and sun and somewhere English louts will not be!!!

Its a nightmare trying to search for a 10 - 11 day break, anyone got any idea's or site that I should go to that will cater for 10 days, it all 1 or 2 weeks!!!

budget... anything under £2000 for 2 peeps!!
 
I always tend to go on 9-12 day holidays as the missus struggles to get 2 weeks off. Try key2holidays, you can get a general idea from the website but if yo contact them they are normally very flexible. I tend to go for a city break for 3-4 nights and then a beach break for 8-10 nights. I have used them for thailand (bangkok+koh samui) and malaysia (kuala lumpar + langkowi).

Have a look at trip advisor as well to research places and find real reviews for hotels
 
get yourself over to jet2/ryanair/easyjet to find some cheap flights from your local airport.

Once you know where you want to go, head over to http://www.venere.com to book your hotels.

I am doing the following for £900 (for 2 people, so £450 each) for a 16 day holiday.

Italy
1) Fly into Pisa from Dancaster Sheffield airport. Spend a day
2) Train into Florence. Spend 3 days
3) Train into Rome. Spend 5 days.
4) From Rome fly to Seville in Spain

Spain
1) Spend 3 days in Seville. Fly to Barcelona from Seville.
2) Spend 4 days in Barcelona
3) Fly back home from Barcelona to DSA.

You do realise that beach holidays are where larget louts (i.e. the brits :D) go on holiday? With that in mind, i've heard a lot of good things about Barcelona. I'm sure there will be those who complain, but on the whole, a nice place.

If I were you, head over the flight websites i mentioned above, and click on the "where we fly" tabs. This shows you rather groovily everywhere they fly to on an interactive map (its great). Should help you narrow things down.

All hotels at 3-4 star. So good accomodation.
 
Didnt see one larger lout in malaysia and that was a beach holiday(I have pictorial evidence below).
Are you going with a girlfriend?
I went to barcelona on my brothers stag do but am tempted to go back for a few days with the missus as I feel that I missed some of the more cultural sites.

Don't go for chartered holidays, just decide what you want and book it separately. If you have somewhere in mind, look it up on expedia.co.uk, then check the lowest flight price on the companys own site.
