We are going to New Zealand next February to visit my husbands family. Our 2 girls will be 2 and 3 then and we want to break the trip up with a week on a beach somewhere, but where?

Can anyone recommend somewhere to stay or places to avoid? Thailand, Indonesia, Fiji, Hawaii?

We never stop! Get there as quick as possible, hand kids over to grandparents and relax! On the way back to London we overnight in the Singapore Airport transit hotel. So glamorous.


I would sort out which airline you are using, then work out a logical stop from there. Dubai would be nice if flying Emirates, Singapore on SAL etc. I just got back having flown Air NZ for the first time in the 12 years I've lived here which was great (loved the inflight safety video and chilled out nature of the flight attendants), my stop was LA, which would also lend itself well to a week's holiday in that part of the world.


Have fun x

Thank you all for advice. We don't tend to stop, as like you pickle we usually just want to get there, but this time we thought it would be nice to have a week on a beach with the kids. When we're in NZ, as lovely as it is, its hectic and busy and we're never alone, so figured it would be nice to have another holiday on the way home. Its not really about breaking up the flight. However, the price of flights is huge, especially as we pay nearly full fare for the girls now, so we definitely need to choose an airline first based on cost and then see if there is anywhere easy to stop. I like the idea of Cambodia though...

    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
    • Yet another recommendation for Casper the  handyman.   He recently completed some odd jobs around our house including installing curtain rails and hanging pictures.  He offered practical solutions to the issues that arose, was efficient and communicative.  Very reasonable rates. We’ll be using his services again and have recommended to family & friends. 
    • Tom is a legend, even though he supports Arsenal..
    • The seller hasn't been named on here, and it isn't clear that it was a genuine misunderstanding, given the contents of the OP. Maybe it should be left as a warning to others to try things out before you take them home. Or indeed before you sell them. If  something seems wrong, it probably is. It shouldn't have taken a public post to resolve things . Also, if the laptop actually belongs to a company, it wasn't the seller's to sell, regardless of how he obtained it.
