2 day quick break? Sun?
« on: August 08, 2007, 09:44:33 AM »
the boy's birthday is 2-Sep.  I wanted to take a quick F-S break somewhere.  Sunny.  Warm.  Beach.

Any ideas?  My imagination is surely lacking at the moment.

I think you might be tight on £200 per person including flights, hotel, and food?  But I bet you could get a package for that price for 2 nights...

We're off to Nice for the bank holiday...a bit pricier than I wanted but what the heck.  I haven't been to Canary Islands or Lanzarote so can't comment.  :)

yep... Fri-Sunday...

(i grew up using SMTWRFA as the days of the week... i quoted someone M-R yesterday and they had no idea what i was talking about.  is this american specific or me specific?)
