@Boris, If your looking at US, I'd suggest California, fly to San Francisco, stay there 2-3 days to get over the jet lag and see the touristy bits, then do a route of Napa Valley 1 night for the wine, but not an essential stop, Yosemite 2-3 nights it's stunning, great hiking, rafting, horse rides, Lake Tahoe 2 nights, ( the Nevada side is a bit like the southern end of Lake Garda, the California side is better IMO ) then across to Monterey on the coast great aquarium, whale watching, sea kayaking, Carmel is near by and very pretty and finally back to SFO. Only thing to be aware of the US school hols start earlier than here and may clash, putting up prices and campsite availability. ( the state run camps are the best kept and value surprisingly) An RV wpuld be good fun, but it could also be done by car using motels, some have kitchen facilities and 2-3 bedroom suites, and in Yosemite you can hire a cabin or tent in the centre of the valley. We've done similar trips 2-3 times and can give you more detailed info if needed.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@geoffknight, thank you - will add to the list for consideration
Unfortunately I suspect US is out as would need at least 2 weeks of holiday, leaving me short for family wedding

@Boris, if you can't do at least 2 weeks then I'd not suggest the US. You would need more time to do it justice and make the cost of the flights worthwhile, we did 20 days the last time we went, it's not easy justifying just short of £1k for a 10 year olds flights alone!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Turkey, Greece, Croatia - all good. Though I gather Croatia can be expensive these days (it wasn't when we went, but that was yonks ago).

Just for reference we've had three holidays in Croatia and are going to Greece this summer. Greece is working out about 20% more expensive (one week in a villa, one week on a flotilla). Don't know about eating costs yet

In case anyone is interested - we're going to go for week to Malta then have a few days on Gozo
Outside chance we'll have a few days away somewhere after exams finish but kids seemed supremely indifferent to this when we suggested it - might sneak off with boy to see TdF
