Holiday Checklist

Your holiday checklist will prevent you from finding out after you are getting ready to pitch your tent in the outback that you left your tent pegs back in your garage, which is a two day hike away. It is usually fun to travel and while most items that you leave behind when packing can easily be replaced in most major cities, it is not always possible to replace, let’s say your camera or your prescription medicine if you run out while on holiday. So, along with booking your accommodation, renting a car or scooter or even buying tickets for that play you have always wanted to see, it is best to get a good holiday checklist so that you can rest assured that you will not forget anything important. 

Using a holiday checklist is especially handy if you are travelling with children. Youngster require a lot of gear and it is easy to leave the right bottle behind or a favourite teddy behind, both of which can occasion some real unpleasantness while you are supposed to be enjoying yourself. However, your holiday checklist is so much more than an aid for remembering to bring along enough undergarments to last for the duration of your trip. It can also be very useful for booking your accommodation, making maps of all the places you are going and helping you to plan your itinerary in a smart manner.

A good holiday checklist will take into consideration every travel possibility and make sure that you do not forget anything that might be useful or valid on your trip. If you are planning a trip to an exotic locale, then your holiday checklist will include such things as making sure that you get your vaccines done in a timely manner so that they are effective while you are on holiday. It will remind you to take enough sunscreen so that you do not return looking like a lobster and it will help you to keep track of all the visas, permits and other documents that you will need along the way.

Your holiday checklist is more like a reliable guide and friend that anything else. As long as you have your checklist with you, there is no way that you will forget any essentials for your trip to paradise. There are two ways of getting a comprehensive holiday checklist – either you can sit down and write one up yourself, or you can do the smarter thing and get a ready-make list that will include everything you need. Home made lists can be incomplete because they rely on our knowledge for their completion. However, if you are unaware of something that you might need while on holiday, then it will not be on your list.

Your best bet is to choose a ready-made holiday checklist. By doing so, you will have the peace-of-mind of knowing that you have all of your bases covered and that the list will remind you take all of the essentials on your trip.

New Zealand’s Top Five Festivals

Image via Wikipedia

New Zealand walking holidays up are suitable for all seasons, every month throwing different scenery into the mix. But it’s not just New Zealand’s scenery that changes on a seasonal basis; the country also has some vibrant and off-beat festivals that change with the seasons. Here are our top five:

Have you got an uncontrollable urge to snack on writhing witchetty grubs, or eat a blackened sheep’s tail? If so you should arrange your New Zealand walking holiday for the month of March, when the Wildfoods Festival is in full swing in Hokitika. During the day you can dine on worm sushi and crunch on deep-fried grasshopper before joining the locals in a wild dance in the evening at Cass Square. All the unique food comes fresh from New Zealand’s West Coast and all the produce is local. However, if you’re of a sensitive disposition you might want to stick to the national dish of hangi-cooked roast lamb and vegetables.

Shepherd’s Shemozzle

When walking New Zealand you can’t fail to notice the sheer number of sheep. The country has around 9 sheep to every 1 human; but, in a country full of sheep, where are all the shepherds? Come October, they’re all in Hunterville taking part in the annual Shepherd’s Shemozzle. The Shepherd’s Shemozzle is a race run by locals, but until the day of the event the locals don’t know what’s expected of them. Last year’s event saw locals competing to eat dried weetabix and bull’s testicles; could we be sensing a theme to New Zealand’s festivals?

Englefield Bathtub Derby

Taking to the streets whilst lying in your bathtub might be your biggest nightmare, but in New Zealand it’s just another of their bizarre festivals. In November, on Takapuna Bay, a fleet of unusually decorated bath-tubs takes to the water in a whole host of different shapes and designs. There are three separate races that entrants can compete in; a motorised boat race, a sail boat race or a pedal and paddle boat race. In the evening, there’s a barbecue on the beach and a series of games like beach volleyball that will appeal to the whole family.

Matariki Festival

When you’re walking New Zealand in June you’ll probably come across the Maori New Year celebrations. The Matariki Festival in Auckland is a month of celebrations based on Maori culture and heritage. Events that guests might come across include traditional dance, exhibitions and tree-planting ceremonies.

Matariki occurs when the seven sisters are spotted and the first new moon is sighted, so the dates can change on an annual basis. However, the usual dates are from mid-June to the beginning of July.

Queenstown Winter Festival

When walking New Zealand’s Queenstown, you’ll notice a hubbub of culture, sophistication and the arts; that is unless you visit the city during the annual Winter Festival in July. At this time of the year the locals celebrate with a host of wacky events from frisbee tournaments to the dog derby, where farmers and their dogs are required to slide down the snow on their bottoms. Lake swimming in freezing waters is a test of strength for the locals and the festival culminates in some serious partying. If you’ve also always wanted to take a hot-air balloon flight then the festival is the place to experience this.

Florida – The Perfect Holiday For The Kids

Image via Wikipedia

A convenient location, supervised children’s programs, a swimming pool, and an on-site restaurant are some of the top features parents look for when booking a kids holiday.
As the USA’s top destination for families, Florida takes its responsibility seriously – creating fun for the whole family. 

A Florida holiday is heaven with outstanding kids’ programs and facilities. Kids’ programs have made a major mark on the standards of top Florida resorts during the past few decades. Many resorts design activities to give parents time with their kids and time alone as a couple. Florida resorts have worthy kids programs, along with accommodations that feature family friendly amenities.

Florida has long held the title of "Most Kid Friendly Holiday Destination" due to an abundance of theme parks and miles of sandy beaches. Ranging from the large theme parks around Orlando, to nature oriented kid programs in the Everglades, there is so much to see and do that the children will love!

There’s always the Disney option. Walt Disney World in the Orlando area is much more than the Magic Kingdom, the first of the Disney theme parks. The resort encompasses three other parks – Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios and Animal Kingdom – as well as hotels (both luxury and affordable), campgrounds, water parks, golf courses, shopping centre, dining and entertainment district.

But if you don’t want a theme park on land, head to the high seas. Disney cruises are especially well-suited for families travelling with young children. Without being overpowering to parents, it is just enough for the kids to be at ease.

Florida is a magnet for families, with its double whammy of theme parks and popular beaches; but beyond the best-known spots, other great Florida family holidays await. The legendary Everglades are a wonderful place to visit, and can easily include education-as-fun as kids learn about this unique ecosystem.

The best kids holiday might be a tried-and-true theme park destinations, like Orlando; as well as educational destinations, like Washington DC with its wealth of free museums; or nature’s classroom, the Grand Canyon and other national parks.

In Orlando, it's all about the kids. Hotels, theme parks, restaurants, and attractions abound for the young - and the young at heart. Most visitors are familiar with Disney World, Universal Studios and SeaWorld, but in this round-up of smaller attractions, some might discover venues that are often more affordable and convenient than their mega-theme park counterparts, making it easy for families to slip in and out for half-day or full-day visits.

Aside from water parks and Disney-centered Orlando, Florida has many other attractions that children of all ages will enjoy. Older children and teenagers can make a stop in Tampa for Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. This park is full of wild roller coasters, exciting water rides, and shows. The draw for younger children, however, is the zoo-like experience with their exotic animals. The Kennedy Space Center is a way for children and adults to have fun while learning about the past, present, and future of space exploration. At Crystal River and Homosassa between November and March kids can swim with the manatees and learn about these prehistoric creatures.

It may take up to five days to reach the summit depending on your pace.

Philippine Eagle Center

Davao also allows tourists to get up close and personal with the country's national bird, the Philippine Eagle. Situated in Malagos, the Philippine Eagle Center serves as temporary home and a breeding center for the critically endangered bird. The Philippine Eagle, one of the tallest and biggest birds in the world, usually feeds on flying lemurs, wild cats, and squirrels.

Kadayawan Festival

The perfect time to visit Davao would be August, when the city stages one of the most colorful festivals in the Philippines. Kadayawan Festival is an annual thanksgiving celebration for a bountiful harvest.
