How much do you spend on your annual family holiday?

You can but I'm not sure how much help I can be

. DH did it all himself after doing tons of research online - we knew roughly where we wanted to go, and we know the south-eastern France/Italian Riviera pretty well from when we were travelling round when I was still a student so we're revisiting areas we've seen (or are near where we've been) before. Anna wants to see the Eiffel Tower (not sure why but she's heard about it somewhere) so we figured since we'd need to stop in Paris we might as well spend a couple of days - the car is going on the auto-train thing to Nice while we fly down with Easyjet, then we'll collect the car and drive (or DH will, I am NOT driving in France

) to Italy, where we're going is about 1.5hrs from Nice. Then we'll do beachy-touristy stuff there for several days before going up through the mountains so the kids can see mountains (as there aren't many of those round here

). We're trying to break the journey from Southern France/Italy to Disneyland Paris so we don't have too many really long journeys so we're stopping in places that interest us and we think (hope!) will interest the kids too

We are doing a Keycamp holiday on the Adriatic Coast in Italy (staying in a supertent). Flights and holiday for 10 days has cost us £1500. We booked early so got both an early booker and a loyalty discount saving us around £125.

Oh and P.S.....the very idea that my sons can get 'free ice cream' on AI makes their holiday so much more exciting (easily pleased.)

That would be great, thanks. How lovely to have next year's hol all booked up already, that's very organised!
