| Can anyone recommend some tips for saving cash when booking as a single parent? Took my lad to Haven near Pwhelli last summer and we both really enjoyed it, albeit with bobbins weather, but he's now at school and obviously the price has rocketed for the same sort of stuff. Had a look at going abroad but can't seem to find owt for less than £800 for 7 nights as everywhere wants me to pay adult price for the lad.
And, no, "get a bird" isn't a satisfactory answer to my initial question.

How are you fixed for transport ?
If you have your own car and there's just the two of you then how about trawling the likes of Travel Lodge / Premier/ Holiday Inn Express - register with Travel Lodge and they'll email you when they post special offers to their web site, my brother took his wife and two lads on a tour of the north east and scotland using £19 per room (family room sleeping four) offers the year before last - you'll won't necessarily be in seaside towns or even in the centre of towns but with transport and a bit of planning you can make of it what you will.

| Me and a mate are thinking of going to Iraqi Kurdistan for a week in June but no there are no flights direct from the UK. The cheapest airline is Austrian Airways and that involves flying to Vienna and getting a connecting flight. We have two flight options, one takes about 7 hours including an hour stop in Vienna, the other takes about 17 hours including an 11 hour stop in Vienna. Obviously we don't really want to hang around Vienna airport for 11 hours but is an hour enough time to guarantee that we catch our connecting flight?
Also would you rather stay at quite a nice hotel that's a half an hour walk from the city centre (remembering that it gets up to 40°C in June) or would it be better to stay at a not so nice hotel that's bang in the city centre?

Yeah I can drive so that's not really a problem. Only problem with using the basic hotels is that he quite enjoyed the evening entertainment etc of the holiday camps. I quite often use Travelodge's, but that's generally going to football and/or being on the lash so not entirely suitable in this scenario

| Ohio and Pennsylvannia. Mr HWS has been left a bit of money after his grandad died a few months ago so we are going to see my family as I haven't seen my Grandma since 2005.
We also have a 20 year old touring caravan so we just decide nearer the time and go wherever the mood takes us

| Going nowhere. That is the financial crisis for you.
Nice to see cock measuring competitions are still in vogue.

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.

Have a read through this web site rlhttp://www.anachak.co.uk/index.phprl its written by a work colleague of mine who has travelled extensively in Thailand and has family connections there, what he doesn't know about the place, its traditions and how to behave properly there isn't worth knowing.

Koh Samui is an amazing place, just off the mainland. Do 3 or 4 nights in Bangkok as it's defo an experience, and then go to KS for 10 nights and enjoy the experience of chilling out and the beaches and the more relaxing side of Thailand.

Make sure you visit Dorchester market, a real old fashioned market with lots of good food, household stuff and clothes.
Monkey World isn't far away and it's a decent day out, even better value if you use Tesco vouchers.
We're off to Cornwall again this year, either Perranporth or St Ives.'"
cheers. i was looking at west bay on tinternet last night, only downside is the beach dog ban. im sure there will be dog friendly beaches somewhere up that way.
always fancied monkey world, but doubt theyd let the dog in?
cod ead. in july ive booked the following week off so wont make that.
