Darwin is a great place to go, but expensive when compared to Bali or Phuket which are not too much further away. Phuket is definitely my favourite though, sitting at the pool bar drinking cocktails out of coconuts takes some beating
Bali for me, as a place I'd go back to with the kids anyway, and IT IS possible to go there from the UK in the school holidays for 3 weeks for less than 2 weeks in Spain if u search out the flights & accom.
i might challenge you there lid, although i have to say i have travelled because of my job. but i've been an awful lot of places. My favourite? possibly Langkawi of the coast of Malaysia, loved New York, Malta is a nice place to visit, Halifax canada is an amazing pi55 up. so many good places it would be easier to name the places i didnt likeare we expected to list em all like ?there's a thread somewhere of what countries we've visited.I may have won at the time as i remember.
