Hello I am Linda. We started this site to help people create breaks and holidays.

Each year my husband Mike and I pack a couple of bags and take off on our travels. We do all of our own planning and make up the complete trip before we leave home. We book most of our flights and accommodation and then set off on our journey. So far we have toured Scandinavia for three months in a motorhome and toured the coastline of Western Europe. We have planned and done an around the world trip, driven right across America and had many other wonderful adventures.

What would be your choice? How about a trip to see the Taj Mahal? Hire a car and driver with all flights and hotels thrown in at a very reasonable rate, or a few days sailing in the Pacific on a beautiful yacht. The picture here is of one we used for three days after visiting Fiji to get married.

You can click on the picture above to view some more images from our travels.

AIRPORT CODES
We have now added a comprehensive set of tables for you to find the right airport code as we have found dificulties with this in the past. You can find the code for the airport or the airport for the code.

Take a break and have some fun with YouTube.

Our next adventure
Right now we are planning to be off again at the end the year to spend Christmas in Thailand. We will be at the Garden in Chiang Mai again where we will be warmly welcomed by Tim and Tong, a Brit who has settled in Thailand with his locally born wife. We were very glad of the free use of their internet and wifi in this excellent, centrally located guesthouse (http://www.thegardenchiangmai.com).
We spent two months there earlier this year and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Recently we booked Fly Emirates to Bangkok with a free stopover in Dubai on the way out. Emirates gave us a very good deal on the flights but it did take us a couple of weeks to track down a decent Hotel deals at a good price in Dubai. (£100 a night for two with pickup and breakfast). This might not sound too cheap but all Dubai hotels are expensive and £200 to £400 per night is not unusual.
When booking flights check rates from different UK airports. The further away from London the cheaper it gets. Leaving from Newcastle airport is not so expensive as it can be from say Manchester for example, and a £100 difference for our sort of trips is not exceptional. We checked flights from as many local airports (within 200 miles) as possible.
Christmas will be in Chiang Mai where we will meet up with old friends from Canada and hopefully others who have yet to accept our invitation. This time we want to see more of Thailand and will keep you posted.
On our return to the UK journey we will stop over in Hong Kong because it is my birthday and I am putting together a fantastic family party. Over sixty people are expected including some from the UK, Canada, USA and of course Hong Kong where I was born.
