Hope that ive been of help.

I just wonder how much these holidays will have risen in price due to the trouble in the middle east, and the oil prices

2 weeks at the D.annunzio Hotel in Lido de Jeselo 3 July 2011 is priced at £783, with thomas cook, now it will be interesting to see what the price is for 2012, as this is where I am looking to take my holidays in 2012

I also book up early. I need to start thinking about Summer 2012 so I'll be all set to book after this summer's holiday in August or I may even book it in July

We're not going away this year and didn't last year so we're hoping to book early, as soon as the little one is born for next year.

i'm thinking about it already but at the moment i dont know where i want to go and whether i will be able to have a holiday next year due to husbands work and at the moment not being able to have the same weeks as myself which are school holiday dates , but i can look and usually book after we come home from this years holidays

Thanks for your replies everyone, lilyflipflop thanks for the info eager to book asap as the hol we booked for this year has already increased by £850 for a family of 4 so def worth booking early glad I did for this year x

We are going to book as soon as the holidays are on sale. Im already in the process of deciding where to go, i hate having to decide though!!!

Take care.

I have started looking for 2012 ...............Have narrowed it down to Majorca, Lanzarote or Skiathos can anyone help me choose ????

We have been to various greek islands the last few years so reason for Majorca and Lanzarote being Favs up to now . We always book early to get the bargains and booked this years holiday to Kos in August last July and saved a couple of £100 for a family of 4 .

hi cheryl.

I ve been to lanzarote twice and love it!!! It depends on what type of holiday you are looking for as to where will suit you. Maybe if you can tell us what type of holiday you like, ie self catering or AI, apartment or hotel, lively or quiet etc we can help you better. I havent been to your other choices so hopefuly someone who been will be able to help.

We are off to kos for the 1st time this year and cant wait!!

I asked the same thing in Thompson a couple of weeks ago and was told end of April.

Thanks for your reply Lily .

Normally stay in hotel or apartment either s/c or H/b . Not looking for anywhere lively well no where 18 - 30 . Maybe somewhere with nice restaurants and bars . Also somewhere which is accessible for public transport because I dont drive whilst on holiday . Also need a 2 bedroomed accomodation with air conditioning .

Love all you forward planners....I have not long sorted what I am doing this year..never mind next year. I could never plan that far ahead...well I could, but it would be pointless as it is difficult for both of us work wise.
I have not got a clue where I want to go next year, except I want a liveaboard dive holiday as I am likely to not have one this year due to the financial commitment of our big Christmas trip.

I was thinking maybe Cuba as I have never been...

Loved cuba Val , no advertising , no commersialism which was so refreshing but I think you would need to get out and about to travel around a bit . can't see you lying on a beach all day like me .

I always used to be a forward planner and was ready and waiting with the exact name of hotel I wanted to book as soon as prices were released but now the lads are older I can't make decisions for them any more and have to bite my tongue . Or maybe I've just lost interest if we can't go as a family.

We stopped going as a family about 2 or 3 years ago...neither of the kids would come with us any more....but that is fine, we just go on our own and we can do what we want more rather than thinking about entertainment stuff for the kids (22 and 19 this year).

I think it would be easier to plan way in advance if the kids were younger and it was guaranteed we would be in Egypt or one of the Canary Islands....

Also, I think if money was a bigger issue then we might also plan way in advance so it gives us more time to pay it off....but planning 2012 before we even had 2011 is not something I could do...I might change my mind 10 times about where I want to go..and besides, all them hours of research I could be doing this year to look for next year!!!

We have to go at peak season school holiday time so always plan ahead aswell, I usually have next years holiday booked before I have even gone on this years holiday

This years holiday is now fully paid for though so there is nothing stopping me saving for next years.
