The time has swung around once again. The family holiday. Instead of packing the kids into the back of the car, plying them with electronic games and portable DVD players, avoiding their pleas of stopping here and pausing there (or fielding petulant requests to just take them home already), discard your plans for another cross country/state/town trip and inject a little excitement into their lives. Once we reach a certain age, we stop being adventurous, favouring caution instead, but what if I told you that adventure will bring everybody closer together? No more forced bonding moments or tense discussion about stuff or school or friends you don’t like, actual mutual discovery and affirming moments. Sound fun? Great, keep reading. image courtesy of Sura Nualpradid - FreeDigitalPhotos.Net The Great Barrier Reef, Australia Take a dive Down Under and revel in the beauty of an underwater wonderland, bustling with life and colourful corals.

The largest cruise lines accommodate thousands, each with their own holiday agenda.

Cuba Holidays – Clearing Up what Not to Take

Image
There is a list as long as your arm when it comes to the no-brainers of what you should and should not take with you on any holiday, exotic or otherwise. However, what you’re probably unaware of is the fact that there’s also a comparably long list of things you’re pretty much banned from taking into any given country which are completely unbeknownst to you and your travel companions.  One of the very best ways of sucking all the fun out of a good holiday is to study the ins and out right down to the finest detail and end up spending the whole trip paranoid. On the other hand however, an even worse scenario is to find yourself kicking off the trip with a heated and fruitless argument with customs as to why you’ve contravened their laws, or worse still being barred entry altogether.  Cuba is one of the most accommodating and relaxed environments imaginable for the tourist, but like anywhere else the country has its own unique list of items you can forget about taking along on your ho

Save money on traveling in the UK

Travelling in the UK can be an expensive affair. What with steadily rising public transport fares, few people can afford to travel without planning in advance. However, there are great discounts available, if you know where to look and how to go about claiming them. What once may have seemed a gruelling way of getting from A to B where long distance journeys are concerned, for many people, travelling by coach is now the only solution. The UK has some fantastic early bird discounts on a number of intercity coach companies which give away tickets starting from 1 pound if you book a few weeks in advance. There are also options for getting up to a third off ticket prices for students, frequent travellers or OAPs.  Some may argue that trains in the UK have become a rich man's game. With soaring prices, going long distance by rail can be considered somewhat luxurious these days. However, the rail network continues to be better connected than the coaches with tra
