    I got one for a tour of Europe (12 days) plus day in London
    Oh you so need more then one day in London! Honestly you would be so rushed if you did that tour and would leave you really wanting more. I would save the tour of Europe for another time when you have more time to do it.

    Or alternatively if you really do want to do Europe only pick 1-2 countries to do in that timeframe...you could do UK/Ireland in 2 weeks but you lose a day there and back in travel time, or even do Italy for 2 weeks - now that would be divine.

    Oh yeah - Japan! Look up Ryokan and check out some of the traditional inns - luxury ++++ (although expensive). Plus think of the food! Otherwise Singapore? Never been but heard its good.

    My OH is really fussy about food... is that something you need to consider?

    I would go to an island so I can laze while he fishes... preferably somewhere that has a nice pool/bar all in one. Cause I have always dreamed of floating upto a bar and ordering drinks

    I suggested Japan but he said no, to expensive (spending money wise not travelling there).

    Im not a big beach holiday person considering we live in the tropics so beach is a done every day thing. Dh isnt a beach person either.

    Ive already been to Italy as a 16yo for 2 weeks so as much as I would be fine to go again, Dh would view it as a waste of money.

    Id love to do Egypt but Dh said definately no way.

    I think we'll end up doing the 12 day european tour unless I can come up with something he is happy with.

    Japan isn't as expensive as you might think. If snow sports are on your agenda it is actually relatively affordable. Maybe you should price a Japan holiday before you cross it off your list.
    The dates you are looking at will be winter/spring in the Northern hemisphere. If you don't fancy the cold you might want to go later in Spring or stick to the Southern Hemisphere. I agree with the PP that 14 days isn't enough for Europe. Maybe pick one or 2 countries and visit them. Holland would be awesome in Spring, all the tulips would be out. Paris in spring *le sigh*.
    How about safari in South Africa?

    But as others have said stick to 1 or 2 countrys as 2 weeks not enough to do all of Europe and enjoy it.
