Default Holiday suggestions

Parents are after a place where there's plenty of shops and things to do, they have been around but are now stumped for ideas so id imagine quite a few of you are well travelled so would have a better idea perhaps?

Abroad, they've been ibiza, turkey greece gran canaria, various places but nothing with lots of shopping or attractions.

I did suggest orlando but they're after just a week for now.

Im not very widely travelled as im happy at home so im at a loss here.

Right i normally go to Spain with the GF every year, same old place blah blah, anyway worked it out and with the holiday and spends it would be at least 1200 quid each for 2 weeks and thats taking it easy with the old booze.

So i thought ***** to that, anyway booked a 2 week stay in Playa Del Carmen in Mexico all inclusive drinks, the lot in a gorgeous resort for 930 quid each

I'm not well travelled, but how about somewhere in Italy. Not too far away for a week, but depending where they go, I'd imagine there will be plenty of shops. Just a thought.

Thanks for the suggestions, ive thrown them their way so it's donw to them though dubai is sounding good when they decide to have 2 weeks on later on in the year.

r32, im not sure, they didn't head for san antonio.

They said they went to es cana but hated it.

They said they did go on a bus tour to Santa Eulalia but didn't like it as it was top heavy with clubs, they're knocking on a bit now.

Thailand. Tell them to take 2 changes of clothes and plenty of money. Buy EVERYTHING out there and save a fortune.

I have a friend who is moving back to Thailand, so if you need some hints let me know and I'll ask him.
