Cheers Millsy. I hadnt thought of Zante (Zakynthos), but it seems lke a great idea, and a great family-type quietish destination. I had always thought of the Greek island as bustling tourist traps, forgetting that they are not all like that. It seems perfect for some girlie mother and daughter time without the stresses of day to day life. My daughter is keen to go, so we will book for October. Great advice Millsy, when we really needed it! - Ruthie
