grr... this one is a little tricky..  to me it seems like you are going on a cruise leaving France and crossing the Mediterranean to some place like Turkey, Egypt, or Morrocco, not sure about vacationing to any of the other Persian countries in that region.. but if i'm way off, then i haven't the slightest idea here, haha.. hmm, i probably am but in any case, theres my 1 cent.  :P

;D Nothing tricky about my questions.lol I am not leaving France. I am flying directly from Belfast. My first clue (sea crossing) has a french connection. An extra clue on the second part could be a famous equestrian. I am looking for the first part of his title to complete the 2nd half of my destination. Mediterrarean. Yes.
read the original clues ::)
cheers

hmm.. Egypt, Alexandria ? 
where as Alexander the Great was a famous horse riding Persian Imam (leader) and Napoleon once invaded Cairo (not your destination in Egypt?)
maybe still cold, but at least some of the clues seem better fitting, haha!

okay... trying to think the way you do.. taking all of them into account.. I will finally put my answer as

Marseille on the Cote d'azure

The aga khan has a famous horse called Azamour

Mar = malade french for ill

seille = sail  sea crossing

I know its not correct, but can't wrack my brain anymore on that one.

there's no sea crossing in that one though chip, and he emphasises the sea crossing.. not just the sickness.. i was looking at that one on the atlas too.. i think its two words, and i am about ready to call the men in white jackets.. hehe

A long way round to the correct answer Chip ;D The management is getting better as the clues unfold.
Mal de mer= sea sickness
use the first part of this and you have Mal
Persian Imam which is a heriditary title for the Khan familyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aga_Khan
First name "aga"
Thus giving you a very simple,uncomplicated destination of Malaga Spain.
Will be there for two weeks May 19rh to June 2nd,Nice villa/swimming pool/beach etc.
Cissie will be frustrated .lol
Kaema points on their way Chip. ;)
cheers

And I`m only a trivia geography co-ordinator ::)
