Plan the Perfect Holiday

Ready to take a break from your hectic everyday schedule and get away to spend a bit of quality time with your family, your partner or travel solo for a bit of 'me' time?

While the concept of a holiday is having a whole lot of stress free time, people planning a trip can be bogged down even more with the stress of organising one. Here are some tips to make your holiday a memorable one.

Who wouldn't like to go on a luxury five star holiday to a glamourous destination for an extended period of time? Trouble is, it's not always affordable. Before putting together a plan for the holiday, the most important thing is to set a budget. It helps you to plan and enjoy the trip within your limits without the stress of coming home to bills you can't afford. Always estimate a little more than what you might need for extras, emergencies and a bit of spending money.


Think about what you want from your holiday. Are you seeking a retreat from the world with plenty of fresh air and trees, or is it a sandy beach with a cocktail in hand you're seeking?

The first thing you need to do is to be sure of what you need from this trip. Do you want to experience the local culture or just have a few morning where you can sleep in and read a good book? Do you want to get out there and mingle with the locals or fade away from the world?

Read up before you go. If you're taking on a new destination, get a bit of a feel fro the culture, what activities are available, etc. This information can prove to be invaluable when booking your hotel or tours, etc. Sites like TripAdvisor are great for discovering things to do and places to avoid.

Sometimes it is cheaper to buy or book online, although this isn't always the case. Consider how many people are going on the trip and how many children are going because many hotels offer freebies for children. Grab a notebook and write down ideas, prices, etc so you can compare and get the best deals.

The more you know, the better you can enjoy or appreciate the destination.
