Deathside Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 People, Looking to get away for a week in November, and ideas or suggestions on a nice winter break. Something chilling, nice beach etc. Ta. November is the time of year for SE Asia I do believe Until recently I would have said Goa or Thailand - But now I am heavilly biased so I say Singapore

Shum Posted 2 August 2006 Author Posted 2 August 2006 All depends on what you wanna spend old fruit.... Dubai? Oz... Florida... We went to Cyprus in November once and it was still bas tad hot! Been looking at about 4-500 mark. Some good deals for Egypt which are all inclusive. Not keen on All inclusive grub, but at least the beverages will be free!!
Dr The Singh Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 Egypt - Sharm El Shiekh Or any of the Canarie Isles which are on the equator so decend weather all year around!!

Shum Posted 2 August 2006 Author Posted 2 August 2006 Egypt - Sharm El Shiekh Or any of the Canarie Isles which are on the equator so decend weather all year around!! Just been reading mixed reviews on Sharm El Shiekh, with regards to the food and illness! I've been to India though so my stomach can take a lot! hehe Singapore is looking good too. Deathy, where do yuo reccomend staying? Are their beaches out there?

There are beaches on the main part of Singapore - I only went to those at night time for a spot of late night / early morning drinking - So didn't really see what they were like Additionally there is an island resort called Sentosa which has 3 beaches and a golf course and some other shÃÂt - The weather is strange though - IE Changeable - On my first visit to Sentosa in about 5 mins it went from glourious sunshine to a heavy thunderstorm (that lasted 45 mins) - After the storm it went back to sunshine Not sure if anyone does package deals to Singapore - If not accomadation costs may rule it out - My hotels were between £60 and £140 per night - Obviously I wasn't paying

Daggers Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 The Lebanon looks nice, some good deals on offer HERE
Deathside Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 I hear eating out and drinking, shopping etc is quite expensive in Singapore...Deathside????? Not if you eat at food halls (Coffee shops as the locals call them) - My average evening meals cost between 10 and 15 Sing$ (£3-£5) and that includes a half litre bottle of Tiger beer
Random Burglar Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 I went to Thailand a couple of years ago in November and everything about it was phenomenal. Loved the place. Hope to go back soon. Going to Cuba this year for a bit of winter sun...and new years eve so should be good.
Ultra Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 The Lebanon looks nice, some good deals on offer HERE There are indeed. Just a pity there are no flights there, and no airport..
Deathside Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 There are indeed. Just a pity there are no flights there, and no airport.. How about flying to Tel-Aviv and hitching a lift from a passing tank
The People's Hero Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 Two fish in a tank.... I can't go on. I just can't. Shum, come to Maidstone.

Guest Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 I'd go to Scandinavia or Iceland. Bit short on the beaches and all that, but it's atmospheric as you get towards winter. I've always wanted to see the Aurora Borealis, though. Sad.
