BASIC TRAVEL GUIDELINES

Once you set out for a holiday, there are a few basic guidelines that you must keep in your mind to ensure that your holidays run safely and smoothly.

Illness: when you plan for a holiday you must take good care of your health. If you get ill while in the trip then it might create serious problems for you. The agenda which you had proposed for the tour will get shattered. So it’s better to take precautionary measures before you plan one.

Secure: while in the trip always ensure that the money you are carrying with you is safe inside your pockets. Don’t keep the whole amount in one purse; you may lose everything if you lose that purse so keep them in separate purses.

Complaints: don’t hesitate to complain to the hotel officials if your room is deprived of any essential stuff or if the wiring is not proper, in order to ensure the safety of your family.

Safety: always ensure the safety of your family wherever you go for sightseeing. Plan your travel according to the climatic conditions. Some might prefer a holiday during winter while some during summer. Any drastic change in the climatic condition from your homeland might spoil your vacation if your body is not able to adapt itself to the new environment.

PLACE OF A LIFETIME – HONGKONG

Hong Kong has been called the “most thrilling city on the planet”. Change is constant in this city. An extensive transportation network linking the city’s various districts include tunnels, ferries, subways, and, of course, taxis, which are plentiful and cheaper than those in comparably sized cities.

Best of Hong Kong:

The Peak:
Victoria Peak offers great views of Hong Kong's well-developed skyline. Climb beyond the point where the tram drops passengers off via Mount Austin Road to glimpse outlying islands, or stroll on other paths to enjoy views. My tip: be light on your back.

Horse Races:
This local passion takes place from September to June in the suburban town of Shatin on Saturdays and at the 55,000-capacity Happy Valley track on Hong Kong Island on Wednesday nights, the more exciting choice. The enthusiasm among the big-betting, chain-smoking punters is infectious.

Street Markets:
Chaotic places where much of Hong Kong shops for everything from daily provisions to designer knockoffs; often surrounded by good, cheap eats. Markets around Fa Yuen Street near Prince Edward MTR station, in Stanley and, at night, Temple Street in Kowloon, have many clothes and souvenir vendors. Others at Graham and Gage Streets and the one at Cross Street in Wan Chai are lively food markets. Bottom-line: the real street life of Hong Kong where everything on sale can be bargained for.

BEACH RESORTS

When you are looking for a good, family type beach resort there are several things that most parents consider: cost, safety, activities.

Cost: family holidays can be expensive, with additional costs of food, drinks and activities really pushing up the budget. Most families look for resorts that include their own swimming pools and beaches, so that there are some private areas to entertain their children and resorts that include activity clubs are a real bonus. Resorts should have their own reasonably priced restaurants and cafes, as it can be expensive dining out in the main towns of many holiday destinations.

Safety: if you have children, especially very young ones, then beach resorts will need to have good safety features such as lifeguard covered beaches and swimming pools, and secure accommodation and safe public areas.

Activities: supervised clubs and activities for youngsters can be a huge bonus for those families that enjoy their privacy on a holiday. Also if you are an active family you might look for a beach resort that offers plenty of water sports, day trips and evening entertainments.

Among the many beach resorts that people usually prefer, the ones that satisfy most of their expectations are :
The Fairmont, Kea Lani, Maui-Hawaii, Holiday Inn, Cocoa Beach-florida, Rio Mar Beach Resort and Spa- Puerto Rico, Ocean Edge Resort & Spa, Brewster- Massachusetts, Disney’s Vero Beach Resort-Florida.
