  1. Quebec city in December..for the ice festival. Canada pretty much caters for all budgets and the hotels are not wildly expensive at worst..the food is great and again, covers every budget, and the people are friendly..though the Quebecois do prefer it if you at least try to speak French. The cold is intense, your breath freezes on contact with the air and that is in the day time! On the other hand, the skies tend to be clear most of the time with plenty of sunshine and the whole thing would be a real experience fro someone who lives where you do.

    Or Ottawa in July..in time for Canada day....Ottawa is a capital city but it feels and works like a small town, has some beautiful buildings, great hotels and easy rail-links to anywhere else you might want to take in..Niagara Falls maybe...If you prefer Europe then Crete is a lovely island,but the best time to go there on a budget would be late September, early October.and you need to be careful about where you eat...use the restaurants and cafe's used by either local people or Germans, it really is the best way to choose. Aside from its own historical sites, you can take a quick trip to Egypt or Santorini from Crete and split your time between beaches and museums.


  2. i loved bloemfontaine in s africa!stayed there 3weeks in 2005.in february

    go to croatia,cheap and great sun holidays!

    you won't regreted

  3. Madagascar

    India, Nepal (dual destination)

    Sri Lanka, Maldives (dual)

    Morocco

    Egypt, Israel, Jordan

  4. go back to southeast asia and visit the Philippines.  The beache is better than malaysia.  You can visit Boracay.  Bohol,  Baguio, Cebu, Camiguin and other Islands aside from the capital which is Manila.

  5. France. Search for a villa or cottage with a pool either in the west, south west or south east of the country if you want sun and culture or try a house or chalet near Lake Annecy in the Alps if you want stunning scenerey. The cost all depends on the size of the property. I save money by holidaying with friends who share the cost of the villa and the food. A good website to search for a villa either in France or many other countries is www.ownersdirect.com

    I hope this helps. Have a good holiday.

  6. cuba is a brilliant place

  7. Cyprus....lovely, though its best to come in July! Most places are closed in December, and although we have some beautiful warm sunny days in the winter, the evenings can be very chilly!!

    July is quite a good time to come, and although it will be quite busy, its a great time to vivit......Have a look at Protaras, Paphos, Polis...you'll love it here!!

  8. Try Malta. It is an English speaking country. Hotels are nice with lots of historical places to see in the morning and lots of entertainment in the evening. Most of the time the weather is nice and warm in winter. Emirates airlines fly to Malta as I know they fly to South Africa too.  Enjoy your trip!!

  9. how about more west than east this time around, something like the canary islands?

  10. Hawaii..

  11. Cyprus is always nice. Its decently priced as well. Maybe try there?

  12. Disney World!

  13. Ireland
