There are lots of reasons why people go on holiday. Some people like travelling so they visit different places every year. Some people are looking for warm countries to enjoy some sunshine and get tanned. People from the UK generally go looking for some fun because we hardly have a sunny day in UK. But to be honest we had have lovely sunny weather past few days but the weather does not seem to go down. That’s why people look for luxury cruises or holidays for better weather than the UK.

I was born and bred in a warm asian country and have been based in the UK for over 15 years now. My aim has always been to get out of UK every year and visit warmer places in Europe, US, Australia or Asia. I take Royal Caribbean cruises atleast once a year and yes I do get paid very well. Caribbean is one of my favourite destination and I take my partner there every year to celebrate our anniversary as we got married there in Bermuda. So there is another reason why people go on a holiday for personal reasons.

Another reason for a holiday or a trip is lots of people live in a different country than to their family or parents, so they would want to visit them atleast once a year. What I mean by this is, I have families based in Australia, Nepal and America and I am based in the UK. Sometimes I goto Australia, sometimes America and most of the time Nepal - I do miss my parents. I do intend to visit my family once a year, doesn’t mean I get to all the places in a year. Sometimes I just go on a cruising trip to Caribbean for peace and quiet.

Another reason for a holiday is to take a break from work. Some people have stressful jobs, so they want to get away from that environment, which I think is a very good idea as sometime it can do your health some damage.

Caribbean Island tour

Whether you are looking for cruises or holiday packages, next destination for your holiday should be Caribbean. There are so many islands to choose from for your holiday and Caribbean island is definitely one of the most beautiful and celebrated island in the World.

The reason behind my recommendation is because Caribbean island offers something for every body, whether you go there with your family or your partner or even by yourself. If you are going with your partner then Bermuda is definitely a place to be with various range of bars, restaurants and stunning resorts, besides if you are in a cruise you will get to spend time on several destinations of the Caribbean. Another destination for couples is Jamaica because of it’s lovely white beaches and great selections of night life. Everyone should definitely go to these destination atleast once in their life. Another few places where you can feel the romance are St. Vincent and St. Lucia. You might just bump into few hollywood stars while you are there.

For family adventure it is definitely the Bahamas. Royal Caribbean Cruises has to end in Bahamas if you are looking for a family fun. Atlantis on Paradise Island and Grand Bahamas Island are two of the most stunning resorts of whole of the Caribbean, and is ideal for families. After Bahamas I would recommend Aruba as it has friendly population surrounding it and also have various options for off site resort activities.

Most people find a good deal with all inclusive package for holidays to Caribbean Island, so they can see more than one islands, getting a cruise holiday is perfect to see the whole of the Caribbean. I was lucky enough to find a good cruising deal to Caribbean from UK last year. The best part of getting cruise holidays is that you get to travel Europe as well as Caribbean island. There are various packages you will be able to choose from but it vital to choose the right one. Make sure you do some research online before purchasing your holidays. Read reviews and feedbacks of people regarding the cruise. Read their thoughts and their experiences. This can prevent holiday in hell experience for you.

For some years now a group of the so-called “budget airlines” in Europe have been embroiled in a price war attempting to offer the lowest air fares to a huge number of European cities. It’s quite normal to see that one of the leading budget carriers such as Easyjet or Ryanair has an offer of return flights from the UK to Spain, France or Germany for £1 (approx $1.45). There could be airport landing fees and taxes to be added to the fare, but it remains an absolute bargain if you’re looking to see a variety of European cities. One of the biggest disadvantages of flying with the budget airlines is that they frequently fly to the smaller municipal airports instead of the more well known majorinternational ones. This sometimes means that a flight that is supposed to be flying to a big European city actually lands up to fifty miles away. In fact there are a number of plus-points with this arrangement, the municipal airports will always offer a much quicker service on check-in and luggage since they are catering for far fewer flights. The downside is that transportation serving these airfields can be scrappy at best and a very popular option is to hire a car from the airport. The following are some of the wonderful cities that we’ve visited whilst making use of cheap floghts from the low cost airlines. We’re sure that you’ll enjoy visiting any of these scenic, without doubt they have plenty to offer to visitors to their shores.

Glasgow, Scotland

Glasgow, once the butt of so many jokes about the slums of the Gorbals has undergone a Renaissance and has become a wonderful, architecturally diverse city attracting huge numbers of tourists throughout the year. The trendy West part of the city is home to one of the oldest universities in the United Kingdom. Perched on a hill amidst the Medieval region of Glasgow, its students add greatly to the fun loving and vibrant atmosphere of that area. The low cost carriers utilise Prestwick Airport which is approximately 35 miles (51 km) north east of the centre of the city and you will find a good road between the airport and the city centre. It’s a popular sightseeing area, so you are advised to hire a car at Glasgow Airport in advance of your trip. A congestion free half hour journey from the airport on the M77 motorway takes you to the centre of the city. Glasgow is a perfect starting point for an adventure in the Trossachs National Park. Just 13 mile (20 km) journey out of Glasgow and you could find yourself enjoying stunning countryside on the back of a pony, whilst a 50 km (30 mile) drive eastwards along another excellent motorway will find you in Edinburgh together with its ever popular festivals, Princes Street shopping, the historic Castle and Holyrood Palace.

Florence, Italy

Without doubt one of Europe’s most impressively beautiful cities, Florence is served by the airport at Pisa, which is 50 miles (84 km) west of the city. Hire a car at Florence airport and you will be perfectly positioned to explore Pisa with its leaning tower, majestic Florence and a selection of Europe’s most picturesque countryside, that of the majestically beautiful Tuscany. It is therefore not surprising that Florence is high in the popularity stakes when looking at European cities. Once you arrive at the city of Florence you will find that most of the city centre is pedestrianized thus preserving its many ancient architectural treasures and statues from the vibrations and pollution associated with hectic traffic. The traffic free status brings a sense of tranquility as you meander from one fragment of history to the next. You do not need to walk too far before being hit by the evil, ear splitting roar of Florence’s legion of scooter riders. Apart from the Ponte Vecchio the remainder of the bridges into the city centre are noisy, polluted places, thus giving us a further reason to stay within the ancient alleyways and peaceful sanctuaries of Florence’s beautiful piazzas.

Tours, France

Tours, the centre of the famed Loire Valley chateaux with not a single chateau to its name! The ideal centre for discovering the Loire Valley famed for its wonderful array of palatial residences, the city boasts a number of charms of its own. Although the little airport is only a couple of miles from town, it’s pretty much essential that you rent a car in the Loire Valley to fully explore some of the most picturesque towns and villages to be found throughout France. Along the banks of the River Loire between Sully-sur-Loire and Chalonnes, a number of cultural treasures are presented for the visitor to enjoy. The Loire valley is a UNESCO World Heritage site and offers beautiful countryside, historic villages and lots of flamboyant castles. During the renaissance the Loire Valley was known as the “Retreat of Kings and was a big favourite of the French royal family. Built originally as working fortified castles, the buildings were converted into the palatial chaeaux that you will find today. Tourists from around the world are attracted to the historic towns that are situated along the banks of the Loire. Towns such as Blois, Chinon and Tours have lots to see and do whilst the most popular of all the chateaux is probably that on the Chambord Estate. Throughout the area you will discover small, family owned vineyards offering a variety of wonderful wines at budget prices. Look out for the word “degustation”, which means sampling I guess, and provided that ‘Le Patron’ is not in the middle of a long leisurely lunch you will be made very welcome and he will be more than willing to offer you a tasting of his complete selection of wines. Of course, it is strongly advised that you take a non-drinker as your chauffer, some of these tasting sessions can get very serious!.
