If somewhere close then id recommend getting a villa on a Greek Island. Hotel rooms with babies in my opinion are not relaxing at all so a small little villa works perfectly
Great bit of advice! Also Greece is looking pretty cheap nowadays!

It's always been cheap. But you have the advantage of Penny having a driver's licence so you can get around. That was my problem there was that there isn't much of a public transport system (well, compared to here anyway) and bus timetables were pretty much gauteng standard.

Yeah, we did a "driving' holiday in Dec when we went to SA and its tough with a baby as you cant really drive to far. We are both in need of an all inc (or self catering) but where we can just chill and vegetate for a week in the sun.
Went to Greece with my ex and was bloody expensive but we did go somewhere pricy. Those kinds of holidays are now out and al cheapos are in

I broke the bank several times last year, most notably for Costa Rica. No regrets, but this year IceLolly holidays ftw

Yip, we have done the expensive holidays but now have to focus on family. If we can get away, great, but if not, there are more important things to look at. haha collecting the Sun vouchers FTW
