Quel sejour de reve!

Quel sejour de reve!

I don't understand this sentence at all.  Perhaps de rever, but first person singular?  The rest of the exercise is in the past, it has already happened.

Hi Mike, 

Just to add to what Maarten said, it just means 

What a dream holiday!

 Other examples using 'de rêve' -

une maison de rêve = a dream house

un mariage de rêve = a dream wedding 

des conditions de rêve = dream conditions

etc.

Hope this helps!

Mike, 

This is an exclamation. There is no verb in the stand-alone phrase.

Quel/quelle/quels/quelles + [nom] = What a [noun] (French Exclamative Adjectives) 

‘ de rêve ‘ is a fixed expression - see definitions in links :
