Winter travel essentials – escape to the sun
As a person who wishes it could be Summer every day, rather than Christmas, the idea of jetting away to enjoy some Winter sun is a really attractive one. As I sit here, nursing the effects of a nasty throat infection, sneezing from a rotten cold and generally feeling depressed by the greyness of the sky, how can you not feel tempted to just book a flight and jet off somewhere with beaches, cocktails and sunshine?

Getting festive with Ocean
We have a bit of a tradition in our house. Every year we buy some new decorations and baubles for the tree, something to add to the (already) large collection that will ensure that the house doesn’t look exactly the same year after year.

Escaping to some Winter Sun
That’s it, we are officially in Christmas season. John Lewis have released their advert this morning and it is another absolute triumph, a real tear jerker entitled ‘The Man in the Moon’. This very fact, combined with the passing of both Halloween and Bonfire Night, means that we are now safely on the home stretch towards Christmas.

There are certainly some real bargains to be found at this time of year, with companies like Sunshine.co.uk offering cheap flights, hotels and package holidays while the season is quieter. But,…

Travelbag focuses on restaurants in Dubai
A quick question for you. On all the holidays you have enjoyed and all the places you have travelled to, where is the best place you have ever eaten? This could relate to travels in Europe, further afield, or in the UK? I have been lucky enough to do some travelling, visiting some stunning and spectacular places over the years, especially before Joe was born. I loved the exciting cuisine of the Far East, especially the street food that costs so little and yet tastes so good, but if I had to pick the best food that I had eaten whilst enjoying a holiday, I would have to say that…
