Why I love to travel at the end of Summer

September and October are my favourite times of the year to go on holiday. You catch the end of the Summer season and the start of the Winter season, prices drop hugely and the weather is still warm.

I'll be honest, I'm not a sun worshiper at all. I turn to a nice shade of red before going back to pale. I don't think I have ever had a tan in my life. So the cooler months are perfect for me... I'd pick 22c over 32c any day.

Europe seems the obvious choice at this time of year, the temperatures are still in the mid twenty's and the crowds are less imposing. Majorca, The Algarve and The Costa Del Sol are all popular choices. With temperatures ranging from 21-25c on average it makes a sunny and enjoyable holiday.

I visited Majorca last September with my family and it was perfect. We were about 10 minutes walk from the beach in C'an Picafort. I found it a resort which catered well for all customer types, from me and my family which included a toddler to couples and families with older children.

Destinations a little further afield are also hugely popular in this season too.

Barbados is coming to the end of the hurricane season in October, November is the peak time to travel so squeezing in a trip at the end of October before everyone else joins you in November is a good tip.

Dubai starts to cool down a little from October from a sweltering 41c in August it's a more pleasant 35c in October...still too hot for me, but perfect for those of you who love the heat.

New York in the fall is so beautiful! See the leaves turn a beautiful mix of orange and red from October into November, Central Park is wonderful at this time of year.

The Canaries are a wonderful year round destination due to their location. Lanzarote and Tenerife are a great option for those of you not wanting to travel too far but still looking for the higher temperatures. Both resorts offer locations to suit any holiday type whether that be the nightlife of Puerto Del Carmen in Lanzarote or the more traditional Puerto De La Cruz in Tenerife.

I stayed in Puerto De La Cruz, Tenerife a few years ago and loved it! It's one of the more traditional areas on Tenerife in my opinion. Lots of lovely restaurants serving local food, I adore tapas so was in my element. The main plaza has street entertainment on at certain times of the day which is exciting to watch.

So when you're planning your next holiday do consider September and October.
