      Out of all the canary island Lanzarote was our favourite. Nice walks, nice marina etc...

      We would go back this year but we are off to Orlando instead.

        And a volcano! Cool.
        We did one of those jeep safari things around the island. It was really interesting finding out about how they grew crops and collected water before the advent of desalination plants.

            Florida is good if you don't mind the long flights

            The canaries is a good choice, not too far away and usually very good for sun and warmth.

            Majorca is noce although I have never been in the cooler months, sounds good for April though.

              Been to the Lopesan hotels in Gran Canaria a couple of times which are large 5* Star complexs pretty good for children.

              Anyone have recommentations for good spacious 4* + Hotels and locations for families with kids, within 5 hours of the UK and hot?
              Egypt - Sharm el sheikh @ 4 seasons, although the shark attack has meant snorkling in the red sea is dangerous!! Did a boat/submarine trip was pretty awesome so snorkling would have been excellent, very hot!!!

                Egypt. Egypt!

                I fookin hate Egypt. Egyptians particularly. Egyptians in Cairo. In the market specifically.

                Almost got killed there about four years ago and got ripped off on a buying trip for the business. If I never see a fooking Egyptian again it will be too soon.

                (But thanks for the suggestion)

                    The maximum amount of effort I want is to be able to click my fingers at some foreign waiter or to have to throw something at one of kids around the poolside if they wander off.
