As we have to go during school holidays we never find that prices are that much cheaper, so we book early to make sure that we get exactly what we want. Believe it or not the hotel we wanted to stay at in Tenby in March was already booked up, but at £69 for DB& B for 2 nights and happy hour bar prices all weekend, I suppose it was to be expected.

I've booked a flight to New York in March didn't cost too much as I've used my Airmiles. I have also booked a hotel but will look for something better a couple of weeks before I go as I can cancel my first hotel without charge. Right now March seems to be a long way away.

Flights to Tunisia for a week in February and more flights for a weekend in Tunis in May when I'm going over for a wedding. I'll book hotels much nearer the time.

Malcolmhelen,
Have a great time in Jamaica. I hope you're not worried about going with Portland for the first time as you'll get exactly the same service and reps as you would with Thomson - only difference being at a fraction of the cost. We booked with them for Mexico this year and could not fault the holiday.

Got 4 days at Center Parcs at the beginning of January, then New York and Mexico (2 weeks altogether) in March and looking at booking to go to Tunisia in August.

Normally book late deals, so this is really unusual for us and I'm so excited! :D

Same with us, and booking early you can sometimes get free child places even in the school hols. For next year we are back in our beloved Tenerife for two weeks at Easter, and then we're going to give Crete a whirl for two weeks late July/early August (never done Greece before). Got a free child place in Crete for a 15 year old on all-inclusive in the school hols :D
Might consider a cheap and cheerful week for the May/June half-term, finances permitting. We used to do a few days out with our local coach company (theme parks, zoos, seaside etc) because the pick-up point is just round the corner from our house, but now the kids are older they're not really interested anymore.
