Road trip. The words conjure up jaw-dropping scenery, sunlight glinting on chrome, and an open road stretching away to the horizon. You might instantly think of the USA, but there’s a whole world of road trip possibilities out there. Turn the ignition key and let’s go!
The classic road trip is, of course, Route 66, the Mother Road that runs from Chicago, Illinois to Los Angeles on the USA’s West Coast. Although the route was removed from the highway system in the 1980s, many sections of the road have been adopted by the towns through which it passes. Historic buildings and landmarks along the way have been preserved or restored, making this a nostalgic trip through a vanished America. Hire a Harley-Davidson or a classic American car for the ultimate experience.
For the more adventurous, there’s the Pan-American Highway. In this case America really does mean America, not the USA. The route runs from Alaska in the north to Tierra del Fuego, the ‘Land of Fire’, at the tip of South America.
This route travels through Canada and numerous US states before passing into Central and South America. All sorts of terrain and climate are encountered along the way, from desert to mountain. The route includes a fifty-mile stretch of rainforest, the Darién Gap, which can be crossed by boat or, with some difficulty, in an off-road vehicle or by motorbike. At nearly 30,000 miles long, this isn’t a weekend trip.
 The Atlantic Road, Norway – Photo by Jaime Pérez 55mph maximum speed limit notwithstanding, Norway is a wonderful country for a road trip. Experience the Atlantic Road, a short stretch that hops from island to island across swooping bridges. Penetrate the Arctic Circle and finish your journey at the northernmost tip of Europe, in Svalbard. Down in Australia, the Great Ocean Road is 150 miles of sun and coastline. The route passes through spectacular scenery and national parks, and it’s easy to make a side trip into the beautiful Blue Mountains or Snowy Mountains. This might be a short journey, but spin it out over several days with lots of stops to enjoy woodland walks and sandy beaches along the way.
Don’t disregard the United Kingdom, either. Whether it’s a 24-hour dash from Land’s End to John o’Groats or a leisurely drive through the passes of the Lake District, great roads and scenery are right on your doorstep.

Easter is the perfect time to escape as a family, the crowds are not as big as in the hectic summer holidays and it’s not too hot for little ones. You can incorporate your traditional Easter traditions into a holiday abroad and see how the rest of the world celebrates! (Just don’t let the Easter egg hunt melt in the sun!)
Lanzarote
Lanzarote holidays are popular in the Easter break as the temperature is already around 18C to 20C. During the Easter holidays you will find a number of events, mostly aimed at children, as well as Easter church services that are open to everyone around the island. Playa Blanca in the south of the island hosts craft markets where you can make Easter gifts, second hand markets and live music, and there are children’s parties with bouncy castles and games. In Puerto del Carmen you will find traditional Easter egg hunt, bonnet making and egg decorating competitions.
Don’t Miss
During Holy Week you will see the solemn processions through the streets with people carrying religious statues in towns all over the island.
Where to Stay
The Blue Sea Kon Tiki Club Apartments are located in the heart of Puerto del Carmen and are the perfect base for exploring the island.
Switzerland
Home to some of the finest chocolate in the world, holidays in Switzerland are perfect for families wanting to try something new during Easter. The milder spring temperatures mean the flowers are in bloom and the mountain countryside is perfect for exploring on hikes, cycling or by canoe.
Easter is celebrated very similarly in Switzerland as in the UK, but you will find Swiss customs such as ‘Zwanzgerle’. This takes place on Easter Monday in Zurich and involves children challenging adults to break their decorated egg with a twenty cent coin. If the adult can’t break the egg then the child keeps the money, but if the adult is successful then the child loses the 20 cents and their egg!
Don’t Miss
The Lindt chocolate factory in Zurich is a fun and inexpensive activity for families on Easter holidays to Switzerland. Grab a free sample and a free tour of the factory between Wednesday and Friday.
Where to Stay
Families can benefit from an excellent central location in Zurich at the 3* Ruetli Hotel.
Tenerife
Events during Easter week in Tenerife are heavily rooted in religious tradition and are quite a solemn affair, but there are plenty of other light-hearted Easter attractions to experience on your family holidays to Tenerife. The Festival of Crosses celebrates the date on which the town of Los Realejos was founded and is remembered by a local competition of decorated crosses, as well as a famous firework display. Around Easter time the sea temperature averages at around 20C making swimming a great activity for families – older kids will especially enjoy the lively surf at the Playa Jardin beach.
Don’t Miss
The model village of Pueblo Chico has all the landmarks and towns of the Canary Islands, but in miniature. Pueblo Chico which will entertain both adults and children on Easter holidays, look out for the naughty dog and the peeking Tom!
Where to Stay
Families can benefit from the great value and excellent facilities at the popular 4* Hotel Blue Sea Interpalace. It has a great location in Puerto de la Cruz within easy reach of the spring firework display, Pueblo Chico model village and the Playa Jardin beach.
Majorca
Majorcans are big on Easter celebrations, with events running throughout the week, known as Semana Santa. It’s a really exciting time to be in Majorca as a visitor and you’ll be able to watch or join in with the festivities, such as the huge Maundy Thursday procession in Palma. Easter Sunday involves a street parade called ‘The Encounter’, with brass bands playing and live doves being released – just don’t forget your camera! On Easter Monday there will be fiestas across the island, with dancing, food and traditional music.
Don’t Miss
A torch-lit walk in Puerto Pollensa, where the residents’ statue of Christ is carried from the top of Calvari Hill and down 365 steps (one for each day of the year) to the town itself. This takes place on Good Friday.
Where to Stay
The Hotel Illa D’Or is right on the seafront of Puerto Pollensa, in the north of the island, and it dates back to 1929.
Egypt
Luxor in Egypt is a fantastic place to take in the sights and sounds of the real Egypt. Spring in Egypt is celebrated with an annual public holiday, Sham el-Nessim (translating roughly as ‘the sniffing of the air’). Head out to the countryside to enjoy the springtime air after the Lent period.
To break the fast observed by Christians, special foods are prepared – you will be able to try molokhiya, a stuffed vine leaf dish or salted grey mullet. The time-honoured tradition of swapping painted eggs accompanies the picnicking, and during this time families and friends sit outside and eat together all day long.
Don’t Miss
As there is so little green space in many of Egypt’s cities, you’ll see many families picnicking down by the river’s edge. Take a traditional Felucca boat up the Nile and see the crowds welcoming spring time to Egypt.
Where to stay
The Sonesta St George sits on the banks of the Nile itself and attractions in Luxor are just a short walk from the hotel – including the Karnak temple.
An Easter holiday is the perfect escape for the family, the weather is warm but not too hot and there is so much to see and do that you will never be bored. From parades to egg decorating and of course, eating chocolate, you can enjoy your own Easter traditions anywhere in the world.

West Cork is a wonderful location for walking holidays and those who decide to walk in the area will have several options in how they arrange such a trip. If you prefer to have it all done for you is possible to go with a company that will arrange your route for you and organise all of your accommodation.
Alternatively, if you prefer to arrange holidays yourself, then it is possible to plan the route yourself and procure your own accommodation. There are plenty of maps available for planning a route and you will find lots of information available on the Internet about walking in this region.
Walking in West Cork is recognised as being very popular activity in the area and there is even a festival celebrating walking during the beginning of May. As well as being a fantastic time to celebrate walking, this festival will also have plenty of information about the most popular routes you can find for taking a walk in West Cork.
Even during the festival there are several walks organised that people can enjoy. Some of these guided walks include a trip around the scenic villages of Ardgroom, Castletownbere and Ballylickey.
Another popular walking route is the Sheeps Head Way and it is a hilly walk that can be quite physically challenging. The walk starts out from Bantry and takes walkers west of the Bantry Bay and all the way north to the Sheeps Head. Walkers who choose to take this route will come across the beautiful villages of Durrus, Ahakista and Kilcrohane. They will also get to walk alongside the Dunmanus Bay.
The views of the two bays on this walk one of the real highlights and they are rather spectacular. There are also some fascinating archaeological and historical monuments which you are going to come across and they really add to the incredible beauty of the area. This is a route that you can either plan to do yourself, but as it is one that is very popular, you can easily arrange a tour through an agency.
Another popular walk is to tour around the Southern Islands. This walk will start from Baltimore Harbour and will begin with a delightful boat cruise which will take you all the way to Sherkin Island. Nature lovers will adore this place as there are a huge number of bird colonies on the island as well as a great deal of plant life.
Most of the walks that take place here are easy to manage as they are on country roads. Once you have finished up with your walking here, it is possible to take a ferry across to Cape Clear Island, from there you will be able to enjoy some wonderful views of Schull Peninsular.
Cape Clear Island is another destination in West Cork that has a significant amount of history and culture. Once you have explored all of this it is easily possible to take another ferry back to Baltimore Harbour.
Located right in the corner of Ireland is the Beara Peninsular and it is one of the longest commonly done walks in the area. The walk spans over 120 miles, but if you want to explore West Cork in the most depth then this is the walk that you should definitely do.
Fortunately, if you don’t think you’re capable of walking 120 miles, you can definitely just walk along certain sections of it. If you are considering doing this, it is probably best to organise the trip yourself as most organised tours plan for people to do the full 120 miles. Either way, there are few better ways to explore West Cork than on foot.

One are of the world where this concept really comes into its own is the Himalayas.

A trek to a base camp and standing where so many attempts at Everest have begun is both inspiring and thought provoking.
While you won’t go on the rollcall of successful conquers, the feeling of achievement at just being here and experiencing the unrivalled views in person in indescribable. There are numerous treks available in this area, designed to suit all abilities. If you are a hardcore trekker who relishes a challenge, then taking the trail via Gokyo Lake is a must, as well as giving the opportunity to see the legendary Cho La pass.

Taking a trip with family and friends can be a great way to escape and have some fun; however, with the economy in the US and other countries still struggling, it is important to make sure that your trip is not too expensive but still enjoyable and fun.
One Top Budget travel tip is to take a road trip or have some fun at an indoor or outdoor park resort. This kind of trip is economical and there is something for everyone—swim, shop or play a round of miniature golf.
The Second Top Budget travel tip is by taking vacation rentals. In some cases you can get a two to four bedroom, several bath room townhouses or a condo in Florida or other areas adjacent to Florida for a low price and that would make the trip more enjoyable and the amenities more like home.
The Third Top Budget travel tip is by taking a family cruise. Meals and activities on board are various and there is always something fun to do on such a cruise.
The Fourth Top Budget travel tip is to travel light. This is especially helpful when traveling by plane. These days airlines are charging for everything. So, keep you bags light and when possible, just one bag per family member.
The Fifth Top Budget travel tip concerns car rentals. Be sure to check out the cost of one way rental-where the pick-up and drop off locations are different. This may cost you more than if you return the car to the original location. You can save quite a bit of money by doing this. Also check the car rental cost. There are some insurance policies and credit cards that have car rental coverage. So, be sure to check this out. The size of the car is also important. Lastly, be sure to fill up the rental car before turning it in.
The Sixth Top Budget travel tip concerning dining. Dining on a trip can be expensive; however, there are things you can do that will lower the cost such as eating something before going out. By eating something before going out, you will not be so hungry and by finding restaurants that are not so expensive, the cost will be less. And, you can, in some cases, prepare some meals for yourself. By eating at least one meal in your hotel, you can save some money.
The Seventh Top Budget travel tip is by taking your trip off season. When you travel off-season, it is usually cheaper and less crowded. For example, if you go to Europe in the fall, you will experience fewer travelers, better buys on eating and buying goods and the cost of getting there is cheaper. For more tips and budget information when traveling, check out: ESTA US Visas, ESTA Visa Application and ESTA US Visa.
The Eighth Top Budget travel tip is to look for discounts. In many countries, there are discount stores and many different kinds of discounts can be found just be looking and asking questions.
The Ninth Top Budget travel tip is to keep your appearance and actions low key. With so much upheaval and uncertainty, many advise travelers to be cautious.
The Tenth Top Budget travel tip is to stay together. If some in your party want to venture out on their own, designate a certain spot to meet, at a certain time. Time goes by quickly when traveling and sometimes travelers can get lost. As with any kind of traveling, keep a schedule, keep your finances secret and close to you, be low key in appearance and always make sure that you have with you documents that you need.
For more information on this topic, check out ESTA US Visas, ESTA Visa Application and ESTA US Visa.

It is a 10 hour flight from the UK, and the time difference there is GMT+5. The local currency is the Rufiya, but the US dollar is widely accepted.
There are few places in the world that boast the kind of luxurious resorts that the Maldives have, and they are the epitome of indulgence. They all offer their guests an unforgettable stay on an all inclusive basis and create that kind of experience that is truly priceless.
