Be it resolved that the Planning Consultant for the 2013/2014 Family Convocation is in session...
Here are some initial thoughts:
1. Portugal - Algarve villas. I know the weather likely wouldn't be great, but it would be easy access for most, good value and we have resident experts to guide us.
2. A Landmark Trust property for all of us in the UK. Not exotic, but they have some very cool places if we plan sufficiently in advance. Check out their website.
3. Mont Tremblant ski village in Quebec. Good for kids learning to ski and we have a good contact for a group of large, luxury chalets.
4. Cruise. We've done the Caribbean and Pacific Mexico, so how about Hawaii?
5. Costa Rica. There's a good selection on all inclusive resorts or we could source a smaller accommodation to take over entirely. Lots to do for all.
6. Vietnam. Some good smaller and good value accommodations on the beach with day trip interests.
7. Bali. More expensive and exotic but again lots of accommodation options and K&K could guide us.
8. African safari. Prob the most expensive but worth a moment's consideration as there are now several excellent kid-friendly safari companies and the whole vacation style works well with kids.
So...let me know which ones you'd like me to follow up with more detail and I will get cracking!

Chippy do not envy you on this one BUT as you had state the Potugal side of thing I have covered IF need be !!
Liking Costa Rica (all incl) or maybe Brazil ?? Mexico ??
Safari would be cool too ! Can I bring horses head ´andle ? LOL
Vietnam also VERY cool idea, fancy that one but maybe tricky with the whole clan ??
Latsly I was thinking Bognor Regis is great at that time of year ? great sea temp., clean beach and top end food (chips etc etc) ?
