I think 10 nights is perfect. The travel days even it out to a solid amount of time. Much beyond that gets a little tiring and boozed out.
I booked 8 this time, but wish I had booked 9 or 10. Did 8 in September and wished it had been 1 day longer, and with the crazy April group, I KNOW I won't want to go home after only 8 days!
10 or 11 nights depending on when your flights arrive/depart. Trouble is sometimes 14 days is cheaper.
On our first trip Jan 2011 did 14 nights (too far to come for 7), didn't want to leave, so in July 2011 came back for 21 ! Perfect (gets to feel like real life by week 3, going home is a shock to the system!!) :daisy:
No way I could do 21 days! 14 is a few too many too. You have a dip in the middle where you're exhausted, then don't want to go on day 14 because you've perked back up again! I'd agree that 10 is a good fit. Unfortunately, booking from UK we can either do 7 or 14, and it's only marginally more expensive to do whole 14 so always have to do 14 at a time.
For us, direct flights are only on Saturday's and Sundays, so 8 nights ends up working the best. Sat-Sun.
