December 1, 201114 yr Goa. Just got back and its amazing. Might be a bit more to get there but cheap as when your there!
December 1, 201114 yr Goa. Just got back and its amazing. Might be a bit more to get there but cheap as when your there! a long way to go for just 4 nights. What about looking at going to Iceland for 3 or 4 days - you can fly into Reykjavik (sp) and then drive off to try to get a glimpse of the Northern Lights: Iceland - Might end up being on the costly side though Or you could always try Benidorm Edited December 1, 201114 yr by CWP
December 1, 201114 yr Goa. Just got back and its amazing. Might be a bit more to get there but cheap as when your there! I'm back off there in another 52 days. Just got the Visa's back
December 1, 201114 yr What's wrong with Goodison one Septembers evening? Edited December 1, 201114 yr by famouswanderer
December 1, 201114 yr Pabbers, What kind of sightseeing? Tunisia's only a short flight (2.5 hrs) and relatively cheap. Decent beaches, good weather, plus you could take her to Carthage for the old ruins, Sidi Bou Said is a lovely place to spend an afternoon, El Djem has an Old Roman amphitheatre, there's the caves at Matmata whwere they filmed Star Wars and for the kids, there's a wildlife park at Friguia Park, complete with Dolphinarium, where the kids can swim with the dolphins. CARTHAGE: SIDI BOU SAID: EL DJEM: FRIGUIA PARK: http://www.friguiapark.com/ There's also a small theme park called Carthage Land at Hammammet Yasmine: http://www.carthageland.com/
December 1, 201114 yr a long way to go for just 4 nights. What about looking at going to Iceland for 3 or 4 days - you can fly into Reykjavik (sp) and then drive off to try to get a glimpse of the Northern Lights: Iceland - Might end up being on the costly side though Or you could always try Benidorm Reykjavik is a fantastic place but VERY expensive once you're there. Blue lagoon, whale watching, Hallgr?mskirkja etc are costly enough. Once you start wanting to go out into the wilderness you are into silly money.
December 1, 201114 yr Iceland is unbelievable, but they are all potty. They used to have a duty-free shop going in to Reykjavik because you couldn't buy alcohol in bars and pubs. It's changed now, they are all pissed up. The Blue Lagoon is superb, and there is a town completely under greenhouse. They have the biggest bananas (fnar-fnar) in Europe. When you have a shower the water smells of sulphur, but it doesn't stay on you once you're dry. Salzburg too is great. Loads of bars and restaurants including one where everything is served in cones like you get icecream in. When we were there the Salzburg football team were in. There is loads of Mozart themed entertainment, plus the palace they filmed some of the Sound of Music in. In the same grounds there is a park with mystery water jets hidden in the scenes. You can't help but get pissed through. Or, have you thought about Benidorm ?
December 1, 201114 yr Author Traf, Kids not with us this time, BUT looking at either Egypt, Tunisia or Olu Deniz for 2013 Summer hols, look stunning. Cheers mate
December 1, 201114 yr CARTHAGE: Do you reckon they will have finished building it by next September when Pabbers is planning on going?

December 1, 201114 yr Do you reckon they will have finished building it by next September when Pabbers is planning on going? he's a Scouser, he'll feel at home.
December 1, 201114 yr Author September ? It is nearly a year away come back in August Will the Cities change before sept ?
December 1, 201114 yr It depends really on where you choose to go and which airline. Budget airlines tend to be cheaper the earlier you book. They tend to have 5 escalating price bands, with 30 or seats available at each band.
December 1, 201114 yr Author TBH, I would just lump on Benidorm. But need to put more effort in this time.
December 1, 201114 yr Prague is my choice Great City and not too long a flight great beer great people the best city I've been to for an all round weekend away
December 1, 201114 yr Iceland's great for sightseeing and it's a relatively short flight. Rekjavik also has the added advantage of having pubs which turn into clubs later on in the evening, so you never have to leave once you're in there! September might be a bit on the cold side though. I went in November and it was -10C.
