Its a lot quieter than the other Islands and has some of the finest beaches in Europe. You will find further info on my website. With regards to other locations if its hot weather then you are looking long haul Caribbean , Maldives , Goa etc. nick _________________ http://www.nickmacuk.talktalk.net/ Back to top View user's profile Send private message Send e-mail Visit poster's website MikeCunliffe Joined: 03 Jan 2006 Posts: 6 Location: Bolton, Lancashire PostPosted: 03 Jan 2006 01:04 pm Post subject: Reply with quote Edit/Delete this post Delete this post View IP address of poster Dubai !

I think its the flights that are the killer to the canaries at that time of year - as they know there isnt too much middle-distance opposition. _________________ Have we met somewhere before?

Looks like it's about the same as flying to Washington. I'd estimate it to be about 7 hours. Bit further than the Canaries. Guess it would be about 1.5 hours longer than an Egypt flight to Sharm.

Guaranteed good weather 2. It's a 4 hour flight 3. If you stay anywhere other than Las Americas then it's not a "clubbers paradise" 4. It's not an out of season place Hope that helps Smile _________________ Back to top View user's profile Send private message Send e-mail Visit poster's website medot Joined: 18 Dec 2005 Posts: 14 Location: chelmsford PostPosted: 10 Feb 2006 08:38 pm Post subject: Reply with quote Edit/Delete this post Delete this post View IP address of poster hi . thanks everyone...but i've booked to go back to sharm!!! same area but different hotel this time. medot.xx |
