 I hope to have had a minimum of four Cuban visits between now and then.
 
 I'm quite willing to sit back and let you come up with the deals though.
 
 Cuba, any destination - 4 star minimum - single traveller - £750 max - Oct to Apr - Gatwick or Manchester (preferably Gatwick).
 
 Just send me a PM when you've found me a deal - Thanks from HWMBO!!!
The dreaded single supplement, afraid i have not had much experience of booking for one person,I suppose you have to wait until a few weeks before and get them to wavier the single supplement, unless it is peak time the hotels will not be full so there is no need for a suplement.
 
 Has for planning ahead if I can get a price I am happy with I will book it early, last year it would have cost £140 pp more booking it late.
 
 I normally book over the internet saves talking to T/A   :wall:  however in your case I would let them know I am ready to spend money if the deal is right(I normally end up talking to the manager), i have done this twice it took a while but they beat the internet price

Garin:
 
 That's basically what I do. I find the deal on the internet and then shop around to see if anyone can beat it.
 
 Generally speaking though it is only the tour operator who can waive the single supplement and they'll usually only consider doing that if the flight is nowhere near full as the date of departure draws nearer.

Resist the urge you two ladies.  The weather in Toronto must be OK now.  Wait until the winter hits and then go.
 
 Basically I could really go at any time but I wouldn't even consider going at the moment myself not at any price.

It's 30 degrees in Toronto tonight, as much as I would love to take advantage of these prices it just doesn't make sense.

Of course you can come visit, just bring your own mojito mix.  I'm not rich enough to keep you going in that stuff.     :D

Now I'm not going to call my good Canadian friends that any more - that was yesterday's man.
 
 However I did notice from the results of my poll that you Heather were the only person that has both a pool and a hot tub.   Can we have a photo link to them please, so we can all sit at home and see how the other half live, por favor!!!

I quite enjoy being referred to as filthy stinking rich, I can dream if nothing else.     :)

You see I'm right, you're after Wendy's 'Supreme Bitch' title.
