Cheap holidays?
garage19 - 3/8/04 at 01:06 PM

The lady and I both have a week off in ten days time and I have been hunting round for a cheap week in the sun.

Does anyone have any tips? Looked at few places on the web but the only cheap places seem to the likes of San Antonio

Don't mind booking real last minute and not bothered about named accomadation
Really not fussy at all about accomadation ratings either. Emphasis is just on a cheap sunshine treat as we have a -getting more expensive by the day-wedding coming up!

Any ideas?

Cheers,

DC

if thats your missus in your avatar it will be the cheapest holiday for you ever, because i will take her away for you, we can go and visit AlanB in the sunny climes of the US of A

Not my missus.... but body work wise a fair representation!


Why do you think I'm marrying her (amongst other things like, love, laughter, goodtimes and her generally being the best bird in the world ever IMHO of course).

Always was a bum man...... ladies bums that is!

Checked the teletxt a while ago.

There has got to be some hotline somwhere that you can just phone the day before you leave and get really good deals on cancelations or something?

you can turn up with your bags at east mids, our local airport n grab a bargain, may involve a wait though, have you an airport local ? nip down n check it out, most have travel agents in check in......

worth a look.
