Keep Austin Weird? Oh you have to!
Texas' capital Austin has a slogan, "Keep Austin Weird" and once you have visited this quirky, small (but the US fastest growing city) place you will totally not want it to change. Around a nine and half hour flight from London (BA now fly direct from Heathrow) you arrive in a small airport, easy and quick to clear customs and in around 20 minutes you are Downtown. Austin is a walkable city an

Las Vegas - Needs No Introduction!
I am finding it hard to describe Vegas without thinking that you have read it all before. We all have seen Vegas on TV, in films etc. and it is exactly as you see it, big, bold, bright and busy! However, Vegas is a destination which you can change to suit you and there is something for everyone here. On flying into Las Vegas, I could understand why people are attracted to this colourful oasi

Weekend Break In The Sun
For a quick and easy break in the sun, nowhere is as accessible and fits this description as Marbella, Cost del Sol, Spain. Only a two hour flight from the UK (and if you check in on-line you do not even need to hang around the airport for two hours) it is quicker than a train from Manchester to London! May is not a busy time for Spain, especially the beginning, so flights are really reasonabl

London Theatre Break For The Whole Family
We decided to have a weekend Theatre break in London with the kids. To take the hastle out of travelling we chose the train, from Stockport, Cheshire to London Euston in under 2 hours, fantastic! First class travel was reasonably priced and the carriages were very spacious making the less than 2 hour trip a doddle with a 3 and 5 year old. We then took the underground to Waterloo, one of the

Disneyland Resort Paris - Perfect!
Disneyland Resort Paris - Wonderful! For people who have small children and for those who don't, I think that the Disneyland Resort in Paris is great fun. Easily accessible, I flew into Charles de Gaulle from Manchester which was a very quick and easy flight. Charles de Gaulle is a large airport, however Jet 2 have a small terminal a little way from the main larger terminals so it is quiet and not

Quick and Easy Family Break!
After a 2 hour flight from Manchester to Malaga (Which is about all I can do with my 2 children who are just 3 and 4 years old! It would not be fair on the rest of the plane to travel any further!) we collected a 7 seater as we were travelling with my parents too (I find it very handy to travel with them! Great baby sitters!). It was just short of an hours drive to Duquesa where we had booked our
