Who wants to be a travel agent for half an hour?
I've spent the morning looking at holidays on the internet (unless anyone at work is reading this in which case I've been hard at work doing whatever it is I do).
Where would you go on holiday with my wife and a 10 year old girl?

Paris - including Disneyland(for the 10 year old), it used to be fairly cheap staying at the resort hotels(eurostar is fairly comfortable).
Cornwall - stunning views, walks, self catering, the sea and you don't have to travel abroad(i.e. no easyjet etc).

Did Disneyland a number of years ago, took the car on the Eurostar and drove the rest of the way (in a car that needed several litres of oil to get there and back and had a boot that wouldn't lock).
Go to Cornwall every year with my family, stopping at the Retallack Resort[^] in July of this year.

You could try the US, California - do you know the way to San Jose?

I appreciate the offer, but isn't taking them on vacation your duty? 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Yeah, but a couple of weeks at home on my own would be far, far, far more restful.

Didn't hint at the budget - but Tenereife is a must if you haven't done it. Plenty to do for the little one.

Deliberately didn't put a budget, or any other criteria cos wanted to see what people would recommend without that.
Went to Lanzarote a couple of years ago, only proper foreign holiday we've been on just the three of us. Did go to Tenerife when I was a kid with my mum, dad and brother and the Canaries are certainly somewhere I'd always consider.

Tenerife is the best for the kids - Dolphin trips, pirate boats, bays with inflatables, two great water parks, animal parks, camel rides etc. and of course being the Canaries you can guarantee the weather.

Iceland maybe? Nice walks and views and ponys to look at and ride on for your girl.

I'd certainly like to go to Iceland, and my daughter would love the pony riding, think my wife would complain at something so Northern though. Plus she works for a company called Iceland.

Dunno - where are you going?
Clearly, it would be polite for the three of us to avoid going there as well... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Staycation - Its got everything you need, its cheap and you don't have to write-off the first and last days travelling. Do I get my commission now.

Bugger that. I've just had a three day weekend at home and had to do so much stuff I've gone back to work for a rest.

OK then what about a canal holiday? Not cheap but we really enjoyed the 2 weeks spent on the Cheshire ring a couple of years ago.

Mauritius. Beautiful island nation, great weather at all time, and a look at some other cultures.
Plus, you'll cross the Equator twice. **

Ha, good suggestion, I'd literally just hit search after selecting Mauritius on a website and was waiting for the results when your email notification turned up.
I know nothing about the place, right know couldn't even say where in the world it is (I'm sure I knew once upon a time).
