Summer Holidays

I acted on the spur of the moment and booked myself a holiday.

A four night break at a four star hotel in Jersey. All for only £300. I booked a holiday a few years back in Jersey, but for reasons i can’t remember I had to cancel it, even after I’d booked the flights. This year, i’m determined to go. It’s in mid-July, so unfortunately it’ll be in the first week of the school summer holidays. I’m banking on there not being a great deal of families around, Jersey maybe not being the place you’d find hordes of kids and parents. Mablethorpe maybe, but not Jersey!

It’s a pretty nice looking hotel – the Hotel Savoy – and it gets some good write ups, plus in the Jersey holiday brochure it features quite prominently. Buffet breakfast, free wifi, plasma TV with Sky and a double bed. £300 really was a bargain price. I visited booking.com who had it down at 300, whereas the Savoy’s own website had the cheapest rates coming to 400. So, i acted swiftly. Adding to that was the greatest surprise of them all, the flights.

Booking them with Bmi Baby, i was expecting to shell out a bit, but it turns out that this weekend you can buy any flights out of East Midlands (well, most) for free. You do get stung with taxes and other various charges, so it’s never truly free, but it all added to the bargains i’d already got. So in 10 weeks time I’ll hopefully be basking in this fantastic summer we’re apparently going to have!
