If you don't mind travelling a little longer and have a bit more cash to spend on a flight I would urge everyone to go to Madagascar (before end of Dec though as Jan is start of rainy season).


It is so interesting, fun, so many incredible national parks, lemur spotting, safe, humpback whales in Oct- Dec, out of this world snorkelling, cheap (once you get there), great food (French), and loads to do. Children will need jabs and malaria tablets and depending on the accomodation you choose it can be a bit basic (to say the least), but what an adventure. The most touristy places are Isle Saint Marie, Fort dauphin(my fav place!)and Nosy Be, both of which have basic - 5 star hotels/guest houses. You can get flights from Paris to Nosy Be but Isle saint Marie and Fort Dauphin would be another local flight on top.


My husband and I spent 6 months there and cannot wait to go back with our baby but need to save up for the flight or sacrifice our snowboarding trip..

I've got loads of pics if anyone is interested!


Essaouira is lovely but will be cold this time of year.

We still have not booked... decisions, decisions-


It difficult to know how much we can do with our little one, without it becoming a chore! I have been looking at the toddler friendly 'adventure' holidays to Morocco- but the earliest age is 2 years.


I had not thought about Cuba- i loved to go! Thanks for all the comments, they have been really useful, especially the weather warnings.

We went to guardalavaca (11 days) and havanna (3 Days) for a fortnight in total. It was good as we didn't need antimalarials, but I don't remember about jabs. We had perfect weather in January, warm and not hot and sunny, except for the daily 5 minute shower, my then 1.5 and 4 year olds loved it.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
