You dont have to pay a lot to go abroad, or have a swanky holiday abroad at all. And to garantee you get good weather the only place for that is the canaries.Where some country houses are far cheaper to rent than a caravan is in wales, or throwing your money away on a tent that you will probably only use once. particularly if you are trapped in it through rain, Holidays are about relaxation particularly if you have young children. Imagine all the washing and mess camping in the rain with children? Id sooner go camping in the canaries than england anyday.
