I got my price wrong! We booked in Lunn Poly and got £25 discount by using Nectar points and then we asked - can you give us another discount so she knocked another £10 off :D So we paid £553 for 2 for a week AI.

Also, another tip - you probably know to shop around for insurance, well we paid something like £70 ( :shock: ) in Lunn Poly as they needed a policy number on the spot... but you have something like 24 hours to cancel and get a refund so we did - I used my Goldfish points off my credit card to get our insurance, cost 3600 points (or £24) but you can get it even cheaper if you rummage online.

HTH!

hi Karen .Another country to add to your list eh. the lady i work for has a thing that she had to visit 40 countries by the time she was 40. She was 40 last week and has done 41 countries :D . that takes some beating. Just for fun we did our list at home and unfortunately we only came up with a very pathetic 13 due to the vast amount of spanish/greek islands we have been to that dont count as different countries :( + of course going to turkey every year doesnt help. And to top it my 15 year old son managed 15 countries as he,s been sking with the school a couple of times!! and has been to scotland which we decided also counted as a different country!! As im now 42 theres no chance. so im now making my goal to do 50 countries before im 50. so i must getting booking some more weekend breaks!!

what do you think . that leaves me to do 37 more countries in 8 years any chance.

Hi am going here July 5th for one week, on my own with 15yr old daugter and her mate. I am very nervous so am looking in advance to see if I can find a friendly face for when I arrive. Anyone on here going the same time from Manchester? I paid £900 last year for us and have priced it again on Eclipse for July next year for 3 of us dor two weeks , comes out at £1500 includes a free child!!!!

hi ellie meg, yes i have priced it up again for this year and next and they both work out at 2200 so booking early did work cos we got a free child place. she'll be 17 next year so non for then .

Same for us, we booked last May 2005 but there is 31 of us going on the 12th July flying from Birmingham. Our price through Eclipse Direct for 3 adults and 1 free child place was £1900 for 2 weeks AI, which we thought was a bargain and I've noticed in the new book that it has gone down abit for next year, so those prices you've been given are very good. :wink:

i know going to book tom went into a travel agents today to see if they could beat the price but it was £300 more.

i know if i could count the amount of times ive been to some countries my list would be huge went to turkey last year alone 5 times lol ive lost count of the times ive been to turkey. thats the country i have visited the most, ill get round to counting a definate 1 day

I was a brave little soldier and booked flights with BA and accomodation seperatly with http://www.medhotels.com. WE are travelling on 23rd of July so peak season and paid £7000 for 10 adults and four children, so quite a bargain. BA had a flight sale at the time so each seat was only £130, same seats when I last looked were over £400 so worth a try if you're looking for next year.

wow those flights are a bargain, flights are coming out around £300 each for next and not from my local airport either, this offer ive had is from my local airport too, dont think i can go wrong for just over £400 each all inc over whit for 2 weeks, going to make up my mind today

Brilliant Karen. :yipee Now you can stop driving yourself mad.

I'm sure you'll have a great time, it's a bargain, looks good in the brochure, and your trying a new country as well.
Reply
yes pleased its sorted, medhotels arent the cheapest hotel agency , ive found others a lot cheaper, but for me a diy was £800 more. the hotel was £800 for 2 weeks and flights over a grand, so 1242 is a bargain

we booked ours through 'on the beach' - you pick your flight then what hotel you want - it was dead cheap when we booked like
