A good old fashioned seaside day out! Fish and chips and loads of fairground rides. Never mind your Costa del Sol!

The rides are all good fun, especially 'The Big One', and all cost around £1-2 each. Or you can get a £30 day pass.

The nearest train station is Blackpool North. You can get special promotions on buses and trams - www.nationalrail.co.uk/promotions/e05830eec35ce741007a2e79203d5296.html

There's even an airport: www.ukairportinformation.com/APT-16-Blackpool_Airport.htm

The Red Sea is one of the most colourful diving environments - loads of reefs and coral formations, plus for beginners there is a 'sunken statue' at Hurghada. Rent somewhere near Sahl Hasheesh for the statue dive.

Rethymno has a gorgeous harbour and great architecture (Italian looking!) Its situated on Crete so loads to do - looking around Knossos (the Minotaur etc..)is a good day out. Try getting a cheap local rental cottage rather than stay at the big touristy resorts.

Maracajaú is a gorgeous, peaceful village on the coast. Fantastic diving - white beaches and Brazil's largest coral reef. Fab. And cheaper than the Caribbean.

Lake Garda is great for water sports, and is near to Milan and Verona (Romeo and Juliet, you star crossed lovers out there).

Also, you can go skiing in the Dolomites (about an hour and a half away).
