Without asking any one in the travel business to give away trade secrets, when would be the best time to book a two week holiday in either Sri Lanka or Mauritius in Jan/Feb 2009 ?
Should I book soon and get an early booking discount or wait and see if the 'credit crunch' is going to lower prices as possibly fewer people will be taking winter breaks ? Is a 'last minute' deal the best bearing in mind that we want a particular hotel (not just any) with a specific island tour if Sri Lanka ?

Thanks

I always go away for xmas and new year and I have found out there is no way to save cash by waiting till the last minute. There are bigger savings to be had by booking early

Go in and barter - find out the price and offer them 50%. If they say no, ask them to take your details and call you when they can do it. The only place I have failed to make a good deal on a barter in the last 6 months is B&Q. I've even bartered a few quid off an Indian meal. I don't think her indoors is ever going for and Indian again in that place though
