Holiday Nightmares – How To Avoid Them
Going on holiday should be exciting, relaxing and informative in more or less equal quantities – but at the same time, it is something that does present challenges. Obviously, as you have chosen the holiday for its relaxing purposes, you want it to go smoothly – so make sure you troubleshoot as much as you can before you set off. The first thing to remember about traveling overseas is that you need your passport. Yes, it's an obvious one, but you'd be shocked how many people forget theirs, and you can't fly without it. In addition, you should pack well ...
Package Holidays – A Waste Of Money?
When you go somewhere new on holiday, it is easy for costs to mount up – particularly if you go on a package deal to a tourist destination. There is no doubting the fact that package holidays have a lot going for them – you make one payment and one booking, and everything is laid on. You also have a liaison in the holiday firm who will be a port of call for any complaints or queries you may have. On the other hand, a package deal can be quite strait-jacketing for a holiday maker. When you book with a ...

Holiday Destinations #11: Egypt
One of the cradles of civilisation, Egypt is a popular holiday destination unlike most others, in the massive diversity of its options for the holiday maker. If you want to catch the sun and enjoy a beach holiday, you can do that. If you want to soak up history rather than rays, then that is certainly an option too. In between the two, Egypt is an excellent... [Read more of this article]
Holiday Destinations #10: Amsterdam
There are few things in this world more tiresome than innuendo, which makes it a tremendous shame that Amsterdam has been the source of many a sniggering remark over the years from – usually – teenage boys who prize it as a holiday destination for the ideas it gives them, of free love and soft drugs.

For a country as small as it is, Ireland has had what might be called a disproportionate impact upon the world’s consciousness. And although some of this has not been positive – the Troubles in the North of the island have been an ongoing headache for British and Irish alike – there has been an impressive list of things to enjoy about the...

Holiday Destinations #6: Dubai
While the core strength of many of the world’s holiday destinations might be considered to be in their history, this is not true of every popular destination in the world, and there is no better example of this than the emirate and city of Dubai, the most well-known of the United Arab Emirates. Before the second half of the last century there... [Read more of this article]
