Booking a holiday on friday with my mate, who's a chick, decided we both need a holiday no have a week and a half booked off work. Where the fek to go!?!? Basic requirements are, hot, beach and maybe a bit different from the norm, not after somewhere commercial, and don't mind if we're backpacking a bit. Thoughts so far are.... Miami, Goa, Sri Lanka, Dubai, West Africa (gambia maybe). Basically somewhere not full of package holiday tower hotels and that. Any views etc welcomed, could start a good discussion!
