Surprising Someone with a Holiday

Posted on by

A holiday is a great gift to give. Can you think of anything more exciting than being whisked away on a surprise mini-break, or being treated to a romantic getaway for your birthday? If you want to surprise someone you care about with a holiday, here are some tips:

  • Choose the perfect destination. Talk to them hypothetically about places you want to go and make note of the places they mention.
  • Don’t overspend. A holiday is going to be an expensive present – even a short break can end up setting you back a lot of money. Make sure you stay on budget or you will be stressed out for the whole holiday.

•             Confide in other people. The last thing you want is for the person you are surprising to make other plans. Let other people know you are planning a holiday so that they can make up a backstory if needed.

  • Think about safety. Always check government travel advice before you go anywhere, especially if it is further afield. This will help to reassure you that your destination is safe.

Visiting the Algarve

Ever fancied a trip to the Algarve? Well if you have, I would highly recommend a visit to Lagos. Lagos is a beautiful town in southern Portugal which boasts arguably the best beaches in the region. The town is surrounded by the ancient city walls and a walk around them gives you some of the best views of the picturesque harbour. After a wander through the cobbled streets, soaking up the history of the architecture, a coffee or beer stop is essential. You really are spoilt for choice as the quaint cafes and bars offer a wide range of refreshments. At night the town becomes a vibrant place to visit whether you prefer a quiet dinner with your partner or a night of dancing with some newly made friends. There are plenty of reasonably priced taxis available at the end of your evening to take you back to your holiday accommodation.

Christmas holiday vacations

Posted on by

For some people, going away at Christmas is something that they have never considered but more and more people are choosing this time of year to pack their suitcases and set off on holiday. Christmas for many people is about family spending time together opening presents, enjoying good food and celebrating but if you fancy trying something new, then a festive break could be just what you need. You do not have to go somewhere hot for Christmas, many December holidays are taken in countries that are cold and even that have snow on the ground, often making the experience feel even more festive. To go away just before or after Christmas may save you some money, but holidays that fall over the Christmas period may be little pricey. Why not go for a break a few weeks after Christmas, allowing you to enjoy that time at home whilst giving you something else to look forward to.

Holiday traffic

Going on holiday is a fantastic opportunity and most families spend a long time looking forward to their breaks away. Some holiday destinations in the UK are extremely popular, so during summer holidays they can get very busy. Newquay for example is a beautiful location on the south west cost of England is attracts thousands of tourists year upon year.

Newquay in Cornwall is not only famous for its golden sand beaches, crystal clear blue sea and Cornish pasties but also for its excellent surfing conditions.

With all this in mind, it is no wonder that the town becomes very heavily over populated during the holiday months. A drive in to Newquay can take a long time purely because of the volume of traffic and parking is often also a nightmare. Planning your route and leaving early can help to avoid sitting in ques of traffic for hours upon end in a boiling hot car.

London is the capital of England and is one of the most popular destinations for tourists when coming to the UK. London is famous for its wealth of shops, bars, restaurants and there are a huge number of sites that are well worth a visit when staying in the capital. It is very easy to fill up a weekend break away in this magnificent city.

If you have an interest in history then London has plenty on offer from the Natural History Museum to the London Dungeons. Shopping is another top for London with a wide range of high street, designer and boutique shops lining the streets.

London, as with many cities is not cheap in terms of accommodation, drinks and food but it can be done on a budget if you plan in advance. Looking on sites such as Booking or Hotels can allow you to find a nice hotel at a bargain price.
