    If it's just me going away, I'll jump on a plane with my gear and get off to get the train to eventual location - all in, figure <£1000 / week.

    If it were me going with the ex-Mrs M, spent >£5000 for a week in the Maldives.

    Admittedly, the first night of our holiday in a room in the Maldives, with palm trees and a beach outside, four-poster bed, rose petals on the covers, we ... put the TV on and watched Discovery Channel.

    I like to bargain hunt... I like to know I'm getting a little luxury at the best price Plus more left over for shopping, especially in Thailand!!
