    Latvia in February. Fly to Riga, hire a car, we then stay at a farm guest house, the ice rink or the castle.

    Will never set foot in Cyprus due to their shocking slaughter of tens of thousands of songbirds such as Robins, Blackcaps and Nightingales which they bottle and sell or use as a local delicacy. Most of these birds are caught in nets on land supposedly used or set aside for UK services

    I'll second your seconding of this post. Mauritius is a beautiful island surrounded by a coral reef and having a wonderful interior to explore.

    Having now retired fully and spending the kids inheritance we tend to go Caribbean in Nov/Dec (Mexico this year), followed by a weeks skiing in January (minus the wife) and we (including the wife this time!) end up in the Canaries in Feb. 

    Other than this the caravan gets a good hammering from spring through to autumn.

    If you just want to 'fly and flop' we can recommend Dubai although it's an 8 hour flight and not so cheap. If you'd like some site-seeing with your sunshine then Casablanca or Marrakesh are great - always sunny, not too hot in the winter, good prices and only 3.5 hours away.
