Holiday ideas.....
Ok so we're thinking of a holiday but at a loss as to what we want, just know what we don't want and top of that list is Bali 
So people, where do you want to go on holiday and why? Preferably no more than a 10 hour flight from Brissie. Not thinking money at the moment, well we are but not got a clue on how much we need to spend so open to all suggestions at the mo. Please and thank you

Please and thank you Samoa - Loved it there, it's a beach holiday like Bali with a fraction of the people
Malaysia - I was surprised at the diversity of the country. Would definitely visit again

Re: Holiday ideas.....
Thanks both. It was much easier planning holidays when the girls were small and just accepted we were going where we told them. Now they're 18 and 20 it's not so straightforward. I'm also guessing it'll be the last family holiday we have.

Vietnam is top of my list, because it offers the most diverse experience in SE Asia.... Other than that India... But thats 12 hours away I think.

Re: Holiday ideas.....
I can understand that you want to avoid the bit of Bali around Kuta and Denpassar, but there is a lot more to Bali than just the tourist traps.
Problem is you are talking about a "family" holiday but mixing young adults with (I'll be kind) more mature adults - how on earth you find a middle ground that appeals to both groups is beyond me!

Try http://www.kayak.co.uk/explore/ and put in your requirements.
To the list already covered, I'd say Hong Kong (nothing like it for 'full on', and great for a two centre) or Hawaii (slightly longer flight time, but just about possible).
