I really want to go somewhere Special but they all seem SO expensive. The ones I've liked are all £2000+ per person !!! I want somewhere warm (but not too hot) with beaches or somewhere with plenty of wildlife. We're getting married early September. Any ideas ladies ???

My suggestion would be Italy. Some beautiful places such as Sorrento, Capri, Amalfi coast etc. and you can get some really good deals. xx

Our budget is about £3,000 Nic.
I think the heat would be too much for me to be honest Anastasia, I'm not used to it lol.

Malta - i have heard nothing but good things about it, or how about mexico or costa rica way - although not sure when their monsoon season is. Sri lanka?
You can get to kenya for that with a short safari but it is hot - and i mean reapplying your sun cream every 15 mins cos your sweating so much hot

Egypt in september will be similar to when i went in june - pretty much 40C every day, but more bearable than kenya as its dry heat

I like the idea of Italy too but he's a stubborn bugger & has dug his heels in on this one.

I spent 4 months going around Italy, July to October and it was warm throughout even October was like a warm spring here. September I believe is between 25 - 30 degrees. x

I'm not sure Anastasia. He just turned it down flat & said with his sulky tone "I'm not going there it won't be very warm in September !" :-(

Now that sounds a lovely temperature to me ! I'll have to work on him !! I've never known anyone thats been to Malta so I don't really know much about it. Lol. I'm a complete holiday heathen, sorry !

If you google the temperatures for Italy, you can show h2b it is really warm & he might be swayed

Vienna is beautiful - i have only been to the mountains in the winter but bet the scenery looks stunning in the summer I dont think its that warm though - i imagine it may be similar to here

looking on google I think you're right Nic ! Its a beautiful place but it'll definitely be too cool I think. A shame really cos I know he wants to go there to visit a church his late dad went to when he was serving in the army years ago.

Croatia is another favourite....if you google croatia beaches you will see why. Good thing about September is its a quieter month so beaches are not full of tourists and yet its still warm. x

Another thing may be to think about looking at the well known deal site. My mil and fil have just come back from Dubai in a 5* hotel from a deal they bought at £699 each instead of £1599. They loved it as there were also spa treatments in with the deal and half board. They were worried when they first did the deal holidays but have now done 5 up to now and have loved each one. They normally go on 2 holidays a year but now go on 4/5 since doing the grou pon deals. Sickening really lol

didnt realise they did holiday deals !! Thanks. Have your mil & fil done them as late deals or did they just get a discount ??
Tracey x
CommentAuthorStevie_Dee
No the one they have just come back from was bought last September. They have 2 more already booked for this year, one to Latvia and another to Marrakech. They look at the deal find the hotel thats in the deal and do a bit of research. They usally go for the ones that include transfers and treats like spa treatments. They are retired so they just book for whenever they feel like it. The saving on grou pon is usually 30% - 70% on the real price but they always pick ones with a saving of at least 50%.
