We booked, about 6 months ago, to go to Spain this year but Tilly has since suffered a broken leg and a subsequent blood clot. Still aiming to go for a week to Calpe, so fingers crossed. We have also booked Centre Parcs at Woburn for Tilly's 18th birthday later in the year, went there last year for the first time at a Centre Parcs and we all thought it was a fantastic place.
Great antkb.
