I am getting wed in June. Trouble is, I also started my own organisation last month and I have neither time nor money. Can anyone recommend somewhere cheap but lovely (warm preferably) that I can travel to (from the UK) for a week in June?

    For brilliant civilised night life and the best Tapas bars in Spain I would recommend San Sebastian.

    Congratulations lady!!

    I have no recommendations as I don't know what the costs are and what you can afford. Besides, we spent our honeymoon at home, playing chess and assorted adult games

      I think getting away from home (and the three kids) is quite high on the priority list!!!

      AH yes, we were kid free at the time. that makes a big difference!

    The Universities are all closed for the summer holidays and the rooms are mostly empty. Write to all the universities in the areas you want to go to, asking if they will accept scholars for a week - tell them you are researching something vital in their city. Above all, make sure they have rooms for married couples!

    The rooms may be a bit spartan, but hey... you will be too busy (touring all day or in bed) to worry. Have a great time.

      Now THATS a good plan. I am doing tons of research at the moment!

      Trouble is my research takes me....to....well....er....not honeymoon spots exactly.

    Of course I would say JAMAICA but not sure how cheap it'll be from the UK.

    Where do you live? What country? I have travled a LOT in my life--often to less expensive but beautiful destinations. If you tell me where you live, I might be able to help you!

    Oh congratulations!

    There are always cheap flights to Barcelona and you can rent an apartment in the gothic quarter for a good price.

    What is considered expensive to you? Under a thousand? Under five hundred? I take that would be Euros?

    Sandals and Beaches, I can assist you. And also South America fantastic deals during the summer. Fabulous Las Vegas is a fun place. Cheapest Air, Hotel and Car Rental in the USA Guarantee. Feel free to shoot me a line.

    Btw, Congrats on the marriage to be.

    I would say book a cruise if you can. A three-day cruise for two people is around 500-600 dollars depending on where you go and what you do. Plus with cruises the food is included. Granted, i don't know how true that is for England.

    Wow - so far the university idea is tops....Barcelona is tempting. Anywhere long haul from the UK is probably out...and well, I guess I have travelling a fair bit - but not always to "nice" places (Sri Lanka aside)

    OMFG - a friend of a friend has offered me his villa in Tuscany for a week. Just call me Mrs Blair. I have of course offered to paint a picture of the place in return.

    North of Portugal. Quite cheap and lots of things to see ...
