Question ....

[Mk2Jo]

You are going on holiday for a week abroad. You are a family with two kids. You have paid for half-board and don't plan to do much but sit by the pool .......

 

How much money do you take with you

[Slik 50]

We always try to aim for at least £100 a day

I wish I could go on holiday

 

Hell, I need one

Blimey even on half board ?

[escort21]

Plan for spending loads if the bar is close to the pool..

[Vista]

Yeah often the booze isn't cheap at these places as half board will cover you for food only. Better to have too much than too little and you can always change back what you don't spend.

[orionmojo]

i'd say top whack 100 a day too.

 

also depends on how old the kids are. probably 50-70 a day.

 

i spend 30 quid a night on beer when i'm away. plus food.

[andrewg1323]

i'm taking £400 for 2 of us for a week

[S2 Dee]

Depends where you are going. If you are going to Turkey for example it is dirt cheap and you would be hard pressed to spend a tenner. I would say in general between £50 - 70.

Cyprus isn't cheap, one of the few countries in the world where you get less sheckles back when you exchange your pounds for them

 

Top place to visit though, and definitely worth getting beyond the hotel. I hired a car and saw most of the island. Have fun!

Fook me

We took about £600 when we went to Lanzarote for a week self catering in an apartment with 4 adults and 2 small kids.

We eat out at least once everyday as well.

 

Take your credit card with you as well Jo.....just in case you see a nice pressie for me

[Slik 50]

I dont think £100 a day is much as you can always come back with the change. There is nothing worse than running out of money 2 days before you come home We went to cypruss a couple of years ago and stayed on barracks with a freind of mine. There is loads of watersport activities to do that aint cheep, jetsking ect. We spent our last bit of dosh on fags to bring back for the wife. The flight was delayed by about 8 hours and we had no money left to feed and water the kidalywinks

[Smudger105e]

Just raid the cashpoint on a regular basis!! They all work with our cards

[Mr.Sumo]

i"m taking £2000 spending money to Florida in October..... , thats for me , wifey and 3 sprogs

[over_head_cam]

Never been on holiday (since i woz growed up anywayz)

[fezza]

Bearing in mind that you mentioned your going to be spending most of the time by the pool just take enough to cover drinks/sweets etc,seeing as your breakfast and dinner is paid for you can spend as much or as little as you like

Cyprus is beautifull Jo where abouts you going,we went to Aya Nappa 2 years ago and it was one of my best ever holidays Nissi Beach is a must if your nearby

[Tom]

take more than yo think you'll need.

 

I found cyprus a little pricey in comparison to, say, Greece. Dinner for 2 with a couple of drinks came to about 30 quid

[marky4]

£70 - £100 aday you can always bring it back if you don't spend it jo,

all those drinks and ice creams during the day mount up better to have too much than not enough

[Mk2Jo]

Fezza .... we're going to Protaras (not far from Ayia Napa I believe) it's near Fig Tree Bay which is supposed to be lovely

 

Tom - I went there 10 years ago but stayed with my brother in law at Akrotiri RAF base so it was quite cheap but I have heard it's expensive to eat out - CheeRS.

 

Mark ..... kids = I want, I want = ice creams + drinks = costly

 

Think I will take more so that I don't get caught short so to speak Cheers peeps

 

[Slik 50]

[Slik 50]
