Default Holiday Ideas

Right....looking to go away abroad somewhere with the missus in June/July time, probably for a week....needs to be hot, reasonably priced and relaxing for us both.

Anyone got any ideas or experiences to help us decide please??

if you want hot and fairly cheap you cant really beat mainland spain,the costas.or the algarve in portugal is lovely,bit more expencive.but as mechanic said the strength of the pound is shit abroad at the moment and looks likely to stay that way for a while.

Me & my missus are booked up for Egypt on 27th June, Cant wait ive heard so many good things about it.
Apparantly its recommended that you have jabs for Hepititus B, you dont have to but would be safer.

I might see you there then!
