If you're going to the Caribbean (lucky bugger) and want a beach near an airport for ease of transfers, hit up maho beach in St Martin.
Have not, and chances are we could find a sale price at some point. I think I've got the other half on board by telling her we'll island hop Hawaii as another trip hopefully 2016
I edited the price down to $4k in the original post, too many numbers going on in the old bonce lately
Check out maho beach on YouTube before you do anything!

OK, well I'm not going there then... lol
In need of a little advice/help.
I'm in the early stages of planning a 2016 European trip.
Basically me and the wife want to do Berlin to Munich campervan style, visiting Leipzig, Prague and Salzburg on the way and giving myself 10-12 days for that stretch of the trip.
So that said I just wanted to know if anyone has done something similar, if 10-12days would be long enough and if anyone has any idea on what to expect driving that distance and camping in the van?
After that we'll probably head to Barcelona, Ireland and Edinburgh.
Has anyone traveled directly from Munich to Barcelona? Was thinking train for that stretch.
Any suggestions for Ireland, will only have about 6-8 day's before finishing up in Edinburgh.
Lastly what is likelihood of getting a flight home from Edinburgh? Will I have to fly out of Manchester or Heathrow?
Been to Edinburgh and we stayed at a reasonably nice hotel which had a B&B type feel to it and was located next to the train station. It was easy to walk around and if you need to fly out of Manchester you can train it there.
We caught the train from Liverpool to Edinburgh and had to change trains around Leeds (It was a public holiday so there was lots of track work). If not, you could get one straight back to Heathrow and you might find the time for travel is pretty similar. Trains in Europe/UK are really good.
Also stayed in Dublin for 3 days and it was ok. Again, we only had public transport to use. Guinness factory was the highlight.

According to Expedia Etihad is the only mob that will get you there in 2 legs, everyone else requires a third leg. As someone else alluded to, flying out of Manchester or London may work better given they are bigger airports
If you are doing that trip make sure you call into Weimar and Erfurt.
Weimar is where I spent the year living in Germany and it's a ****ing nice town. So much history, culture and an intact medieval core with a lot of Nazi and Communist architecture thrown into the mix. And soo many ****ing galleries and musuems it's ****ing nuts.
Erfurt has one of Germanies largest fortresses and the largest medieval alt-stadt in Germany.
Both places are close enough to Leipzig to make the detour ****ing worth it man.
Been to Ireland a few times. Dublin is prob the least Irish to do there. Just spend the night the first day when you get there that's all you really need. I've never enjoyed the place.
Get a car and do a loop around Sth Coast over to Kerry on East Coast then go up through Londonderry to North Coast of Nth Ireland. Coastline is amazing Giants Causeway etc. come back down through Belfast (a quite amazing University city) then back to Dublin to leave. Stay in small towns B&Bs the local pubs are epic. People are amazing beyond words. Up there with the Japanese as best locals.
Gotta do Barca though. Prob most amazing city in Europe. So much to do see eat and drink.
Again, locals are epic.
Planned on going there for 3 days ended up staying a month and only left cause I needed to get a job.
If you're there for a few days take a day trip to Figeures(?) about 2hrs North by train. Dali museum is there pretty interesting place.
