Hi Bri
We have booked our April 2010 already, basically as soon as the first choice brochure came out, as I wanted a specific hotel. I telephoned a few first choice and got their price, checked on line and then phone our local first choice/thomson shop and said would prefer to deal in person, but can they better the price. I got a better price than my 'best quote' which saved overall by nearly £300 and got free insurance, with a low deposit, and pay the rest of deposit by September. I wouldn't normally book that early, but I wanted a specific hotel on a specific travel date and did not want to be disappointed, I still feel I got a good deal. I may have saved a little if I left longer, but I may not have got the travel dates or Hotel, which would have ruined my plans
