Holidays can be such a nightmare. It is unbelievable how many things have to be organised and sorted out.  Recently I have been looking to travel to The Canaries for my holiday. Trying to locate a villa in a nice area has been quite a task. Once I had found the perfect villa, then trying to find flights to get me there and back on the right day was a complete nightmare. I’m sure I am not alone in thinking how much flights have gone up  The price you see isn’t necessarily the final figure you will pay because you have to allow to add on fees for baggage, sitting together, meals, etc. etc.

I at last had everything organised and was literally about to book the villa and the flights when my husband phones and tells me to hold everything because he isn’t allowed to take the time off from his job as one of his colleagues has already booked that time.   I give up, no truly I have given up and have decided that I am going to take the stress out of it all and take a look at UK family holidays.  By choosing this sort of holiday it doesn’t matter about when we decide to travel.

Of course my daughter is in her element as she thinks it’s going to be great.   She has already started looking at things we can all do and the UK Activity Holidays websites have been pulled up on the computer.  She has seen a couple of locations in Wales that she thinks could suit us all.  It’s amazing how many different activities we can take part in.  She can try things she has never done before such as climbing, surfing and abseiling.    It looks like my sunbathing week is well out of the window and I am going to be rather busy.

By the sounds of it in fact, I will be so busy that I am going to have to think about having a look at UK short breaks on my return. Well I’m not used to much more exercise than tipping my gin and tonic glass up and down and popping into the pool for an occassional dip.
