    It does sound good but make sure that you have tried all the travel agents and ask them if they do a price match. Also have you checked out what the weather is like that time of year? Oh and make sure you get travel insurance!

    Hey thanks girls :)
    mrsbarkertobe - I just called turquoise they only deal with 5* and would be way over my budget! but thank you :)

    I think I might go for it! they have a 10% deal that finishes today so should take advantage!?

    I have checked with another tour operator and they can't beat that price.... do you think I should call round them all before I book?

    Have you tried thomson worldwide? They are normally pretty good for prices. I was quoted just over 2k for 2 weeks all inclusive in Antigua x

    We found the co op really good as they are independent and deal with the places themselves so can negotiate prices a lot better than most of the others. What we didn't know though is that there are about three different travel agents all under the co op name so although they look the same they have different prices.

    Our Atherstone branch was the best one if you wanted to find their number out and call them? They got us our honeymoon for £599 pp where as the co op in Tamworth could only do it for about £899 pp and the others wanted £999 per person!

    Well, either Antigua (if we stretch the budget) or Cuba if we wanna stay in budget. Wedding is november and we're hoping to go only a couple days after the wedding so we're really limited to places because of the weather!
