I did look at that. But I have two reservations, firstly that you just end up eating at the same place the whole time rather than exploring the local restaurants/tavernas etc. Secondly complimentary booze from 10am until midnight.
Sounds like a recipe for disaster. There are two occasions I've experienced cheap or free booze. Once when a local nightclub decided to do a promotion and sell a pint at 10p, that descended into chaos and fighting. Another occasion they gave you two free pints of London Pride on St. Georges day - the same, and this was in the Square Mile of London.
I can see the Brits maximizing the use of complimentary alcohol, and with my 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter in tow I'm not sure I want to risk it.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

“I'm an artist: it's self evident that word implies looking for something all the time without ever finding it in full. It is the opposite of saying : ‘I know all about it. I've already found it.’
As far as I'm concerned, the word means: ‘I am looking. I am hunting for it. I am deeply involved.’” Vincent Van Gogh

Holidays or vacations here in America, do have long term benefits. They keep the wife happy and she will remember them fondly for a long time, mine is STILL gushing about the one she and I took to Jamaica last July.
Also they build memories in and about the family as a whole. Your children will grow up and move out but you and they will always have memories of vacationing together. Hopefully good memories, but even disaster trips create memories of how you all survived, persevered, and made the best of it. We went camping last Sept and had just eaten dinner when the rains came so we all huddled in the tent in the pouring rain, the tent starting to leak around the edges, and sang along with bad music from my son's phone.
Enjoy the time with your family. Yes the routine will still be there when you get back but the time away is well spent.
Unless you are the one person who says on their deathbed, "I should have spent more time in the office."

I like when my wife and kid go away for a few weeks. 
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

track = TRAIL
missing A = TRIL
cat = LION
following TRIL
TRILLION
You don't do the Guardian crossword, do you? Trillion was an answer this week, with tril derived as track missing a, and previously 'shortage' clued as bronz appeared just before you did something very similar.
Probably just coincidence (or you're just a warm lefty really  )

No, not really, mostly a telegraph man.
But these things must get in and stick around somewhere.
