Kenya is situated on the Eastern side of Africa – East Africa. Kenya straddles the equator across the country; glacial ice to arid desert, mountains, rich savannahs, large lakes and dense forests. With all year round weather, beautiful white sand beaches, diverse cultures and the most friendly and warm people, visit this country and be amazed at the colourful sunrise and lovely sunset that is as warm as its people.

The variation in altitude and terrain creates contrasts in climate throughout Kenya; from the hot and humid climate in the coast, to the cool in the central highlands, and dry and very hot in the Northeast. For most areas visited frequently by the tourists the weather is neither too hot nor cold with long sun

A three week trip to Sydney over the Easter period seemed like the natural choice for two parents with a small child, “Challenges can be over come with a small amount of planning”, these words would be at the forefront of my mind for the remaining two weeks, six days and twenty-three hours.

Although travel had changed over the years (for the better I was assured) and travelling half way around the planet was no more daunting than a trip to a supermarket, somehow the addition of a four year old managed to change everything. I had been systematically informed that all we needed to worry about was the 24 hour flight - after this it was plain sailing.

Vail has become almost a default ski destination for me, I don’t go there every year but whenever I can’t get a good deal elsewhere or need a last minute destination it seems to be the place of choice. Given the variety of places to ski the reasons for this need to be good and I think they are.

Why North America?
I almost always choose North America over Europe for skiing and there are some key reasons; price, hospitality, and quality. Price may seem odd but to my mind getting there is only part of it. The cost of food and accommodation in Europe is so much higher than in North America especially with the strength of the pound over the dollar. I am strongly of the belief that when this is accounted for the price is actually very similar, and depending on ho

I travelled to Jamaica with my husband and two small daughters (aged four and one).

Our first big holiday away since the girls were born, I was very apprehensive about how well they would be catered for but once in Jamaica there was ‘no problem’.

Arriving at Montego Bay Airport we found that Jamaican time started here – Immigration took over one hour to get through.

Porters will be on hand waiting to take your luggage to your transfer bus just to get a tip, and the recommended $1 per suitcase does not swing here, they expect a lot more as this is their livelihood so we ended up having to give $20.  Our transfer from Montego Bay to Ocho Rios took one hour and thirty minutes so added onto our ten hour flight I thought we would never start to enjoy ourselves.
