Holiday Dilema

rah^ · 31 May 2011 at 09:22

Hi All!

Now I know I've left this really quite late an all

but I have sometime off next week and was looking at a holiday somewhere!

Ok so here goes! I would like to leave possibly this weekend (don't mind if it's uk or abroad) my budget is limited but only by me being tight

(ok so there is a real budget)! say 1k for 2 people

Suggestions please!

Ninja edit!

Just check and see where will give you the best bang for buck, you will get anywhere decent at this time of year pretty cheap and its pretty much gonna be hot.

You could go all inclusive for two for a grand to the canaries 4* which would suit your tightness pretty well.

If I'm correct in my thinking I now need to complete the ESTA thing for USA?

Probably will head down the orlando route.. seems quite worthwhile!

rah^ as you're 25 year old, presuming traveller number 2 is under 26 as well you could pick up some cheap flights and accomodation over at sta travel.

remember with car hire you pay by the mile in the states, so it'll cost you more than that. but otherwise that's a v. good deal

Not typically you don't get charged per mile, every single rental I have had has been unlimited millage.

However unless you take the extra insurance offered by the holiday company (or book your own car from say carhire3000.com) then you could be charged for more insurance.

No you don't, only if you've hired a Corvette or something!

ah well being a non driver this doesnt really affect me!

I work in travel, the best bang for buck is Egypt at the moment, check out the Concorde El Salam, book it yourself with Easy jet flights and www.hotels4u.com for the hotel - you'll get the best price that way.
