Captain Colonial Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 How about 1st March fly to Vegas for 4 nights, then fly to San Francisco for 3 nights, then pick up a car and drive down to Monterey for 4 nights, the drive to Three Rivers for the Sequoia National park (think big trees) for 3 nights, then drive to Pismo Beach for 3 nights, the drive to Santa Monica for 3 nights, then drive to San Diego for 4 nights, then fly to Vegas hop on a Jumbo and fly back home. How does that sound? Go down that route and I'll tell you everything you need to know about San Diego - lived there 14 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that sound? 3 kids and a lot of travelling ? that would be my idea of hell sharm el sheikh is where we planned to go, but £4k is above what i wanted to spend. looked at uncle festers spot, that looks great, my only concern is we went to Cyprus 16 years ago and i recall the locals were very anti-tourist where we we stayed think it was just outside ayia nappa think the canaries is looking favourite at the mo, weather looks ok in March/ April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick PC Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Lanzarote is :) As Blatman said H10 hotels are really good, Playa Blanca is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cast iron Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Cyprus is fab and can be cheap to get there I went two weeks in an apartment for 4 from Newcastle for 2 weeks in September last year cost me £350.00, but its expensive when you get there. Costa Adeje is boring, F all to do! Playas is actually very good, just pick a hotel on the perimeter, which will be quiet, then you can walk into the night-life if that's what you want,although March should be quiet anyway but stuff for the kids during the day My choice - Cyprus every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the children's schools approved you taking them on holiday in term time? although we have never taken the kids out of term time ( Dan is coming up 16, but swmbo would never do it) the kids school actually allows 10 days, and tbh going a week later saved over £1000 to Egypt, and a few hundred quid to Lanzarote.
