Sorry Lisa - Greece is lovely but 20 degrees at xmas is probably pushing it!

Agree that the kids will only remember the beach though.

went to Cuba in august with 3 kids, all-inclusive and it really was al inclusive - rum cocktails all day and as strong as you like as you have to nod to the barman when to stop pouring. The beaches hot, locals friendly and kids had a fantastic time - no cultural learning experiences this time just pure fun,sun and swimming - although they did learn spanish. had to dodge hurricanes and got delayed 4 days on the way back!

What sort of price dood?

misterpink · 17-Nov-2004, 12:59

oh yeah i forgot it cost £700 each flights/transfers etc etc - a real bargain.

Not bad I suppose - but it's still £4200 ... I wonder if they would increase the price somewhat because of the period.

Who did you book through? I'll check it out.

Thanks MP.

we booked thru a friend of ours her name is sue starr and works for gadabout travel her number is 0208 445 54 50 and she is in the office from 9:30 tomorrow. we went to varadero which is not "real" cuba, just hotels/beaches etc but nice not tacky. check the weather though - this time of year could be windy which is not good
another option but further to fly(but same time zone) is south africa - nice cos you can have a week by the beach(nice dry heat) then a game park/off road adventure ride type of week -hmmmm sounds good might have to see if the piggy banks are full.
