Ella - I looked at the Maldives but DH totally vetoed as he says too far away.... that may have to be the 1st one when we can leave the kid (s) at home with the gparents!!!
Thanks to all of you for the advice, we also looked at Noosa as we love it but it will be too cold (july). Hmm may see if we can go a week or 2 earlier for peace of mind but i am convinced we should go - I cant wait and the island we want to go to just emailed to tell me they do have availability after all (it is matamanoa island, look at it on web - divine!!). I cant wait!!!
Good advice re the flights, I will try to coordinate well - hmm we are booking on ff points so maybe I will lash out and tell DH we need to splash on business class!!!
