re: credit crunch, r u holding back

Borovets booked for Feb, weighing up summer hols in Italy - think the people who are being most hit are those that were possible living more beyond their means than others? And if you are stretching yourself to pay a huge mortgage, higher than you really feel comfortable with, the chances are you wouldn't be on hols anyway - that's my view anyway, beat me up if you like!!

Although I wish petrol would come down just a few pence at least.....

In some ways the credit crunch might boost tourism in Bulgaira.

Clearly it is a much cheaper holiday all round and even if it honly has 65km in Bansko you can still have lots of skiing fun.

I'd imagine the bigger resorts/more expensive will suffer.

Just like in Tesco rather than buying tesco finest you buy tesco std or tesco basic. (equating the quality difference to the number of runs).

Hi Andy

Anywhere you can recommend in Italy? We've been weighing up around the Amalfi area near Naples but would be interested to hear if you know of anywhere in the North.
