Anyone got any ideas for a summer destination?
Discussion
The big problem this year is that thanks to the one eyed, mouth breathing, scottish stroke victim your £ is worth 40% less. Trips into the Euro zone are now financially very painful. Trips everywhere else are just more painful. You get through a lot of money now.
So all inclusives make a lot of sense.
For that much money you may well get a Caribbean break or something quite nice in Turkey.

Ah, but you see that would be logical. Ii have to do it. All of it, and then surprise her with a lovely holiday 
Camping in Scotland? It'll be painful this year but you'll never have to do it again**That might be because you're divorced...

Check out Oyster Residence in Olu Deniz.22 rooms. No children allowed. Owned by a well regarded (apparently) Turkish interior designer. Closest hotel to the beach in the whole resort but entirely peaceful during the day.
But no more expensive than a UK Travelodge!
I booked direct with the travel agent next door to the hotel (who organised great transfers for us too!)

Hope you like the heat.What do you actually want to do? Vegetate on a beach? Culture? Activities?
Africa's a good call. SA will be in the depths of winter and Namibia will be similar but Mozambique is on the Indian Ocean so is warmer. There's always the standby of Tanzania/Zanzibar. Have to admit though that you might end up spending most of your cash on flights.
How about Northern Spain - Bilbao/San Sebastian and the Pyrenees

Have you considered a cruise? I did my first cruise with Thomsons and really enjoyed it - got an all inclusive deal so drinks & food all taken care of. Very good entertainment and a new location to explore everyday! I did around the Med' but there are more exotic cruises if thats what you're after.
What I'm after is beach time for vegetating purposes, (no sardine-tin style beach hell holes with Gaz, Tracy and all their God forsaken spawn running around) and some cultural local towns/markets etc to visit.
Spain is always a possibility, although my arm is in a sling so no decent driving roads please - I just couldn't bear it.
