	An Italian Job (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Amalfi, Italy
	There are many superb destinations in Italy and one of the best for a Summer break is Amalfi and combined with the Hotel Saraceno makes it the perfect holiday.

	Home From Home (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Buckingham Palace, London, United Kingdom
	Going to London soon? Want to enjoy a touch of class? Last week I visited the State Rooms of Buckingham Palace, the very best known stately home in all of England. Home to the Queen and Prince Philip, plus dozens of live-in staff (how would you like an address “Flat 6, Buckingham Palace”?) it is a major tourist attraction and a required stop on the route of every London tour bus. Of course this home isn’t like yours or mine. Or is it? more...

	Reef And Rainforest
	Location: Cairns, Queensland, Australia
	Where else in the world can you travel over a rain forest in a cable-car on the first day, travel to a classic tropical island and swim with tropical fish on a coral reef the second day, and walk in a rainforest and travel up a river looking for crocodiles on the third day? more...

	Madeira - A Piece of Cake
	Location: Canico, Madeira, Portugal
	Leaving a cold, cloudy, Grey Britain at the end of September, its always nice when you walk off the plane to be greeted by a warm balmy breeze. As it was our first time in Madeira, and we had been told that the weather may not be what we wanted at that time of year, we were releived and pleasantly surprised by the temperature. more...

	Spoilt in the Seychelles
	Location: Chauve Souris Club Luxurious Private Suite, Seychelles
	The holiday was enjoyable by its sheer decadence. Everything was done for you; taken to islands where the staff cooked on a BBQ and served cold iced drinks, shown the sights and taken to see giant tortoises. more...

	Paradise in Life
	Location: Clearwater, Florida, United States
	The sunsets over Clearwater Beach are the most beautiful in the world. more...

	Turkish Delight (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Dalyan, Turkey
	The village of Dalyan is built along side the Dalyan Cayi river, that leads down to the sea. The whole area is steeped in history, with the Lycian tombs carved into the rock face overlooking the village and the Byzantine theatre nearby. The river winds its way though a delta that is teeming with wildlife; a film that some may recall ‘The African Queen’ was filmed within this delta. The beach area is idyllic, with smooth sloping sands into a relative shallow sea area. more...

	European Extravaganza - Living Our Dream
	Location: France, Venice, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, France
	The lovely thing about motorhomes is that you pull up at your destination and put the kettle on... You've got your home with you, and you can go as you please. We chose a Romahome, which is a bit cramped for a family, but we gained the mobility to nip into city centres and park on the street. more...

	Have Some Madeira My Dear!
	Location: Funchal, Madeira, Portugal
	Madeira is my favourite island. It is very picturesque with mountains, valleys, mini-canyon, interesting places. The accommodation is excellent, the food varied, interesting, and good, the people friendly. more...

	Madeira The Floating Garden (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Funchal, Madeira, Portugal
	This is an island that deserves to be visited at differing times of the year in order to enjoy and appreciate the accumulated collection of plants from around the world. My wife and I have had six holidays on the island to date and no doubt we will have many more as the contrasts and interest that this particular destination offer are many as they are varied. more...

	Chill Out in the Sun
	Location: Grand Hotel Riviera, Sorrento, Italy
	This hotel is absolutely delightful. It's certainly not the cheapest but it really is worth the extra if you want to treat yourself. Set in walking distance from the hub of the town but far enough away to keep things quiet, the guest gets a feeling of palatial opulence when walking into the reception area. more...

	Hong Kong
	Location: Hong Kong, China
	A tiny bubble on the underbelly of China, Hong Kong has undergone explosive development since being pinched by the British and turned into a trading outpost. Hong Kong’s role hasn’t changed much, even after the handover, and it remains one of the great trade centres of the world. more...

	Paradise
	Location: Hotel Club Dolphin, Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka
	First week in Sri Lanka we did the splendours of ceylon tour. You get to stay in 4 or 5 star hotels (4 in all) which are very posh. Our guide, Joseph, was a lovely man and very informative about all the places we visited. more...

	White Sands in Cuba
	Location: Hotel Melia Cayo Guillermo, Cuba
	We flew out Christmas day on our ALL INCLUSIVE holiday. First thing that struck us was the white sandy beach (very robinson crusoe ). The Cubans are so friendly and work hard to make your holiday memorable. At night all you hear is the sound of the crickets and maybe the swishing of the palm trees. more...

	Spring In Majorca (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Illetas, Majorca, Mallorca, Spain
	Fancy an early spring holiday? My wife and I spent a week at Illetas towards the end of February and were blessed with both good weather and an excellent hotel, all without the crowds. more...

	The Lake District In Winter
	Location: Kendal, Lake District, United Kingdom
	The Lake District in winter is a UK Best-Kept Secret. Gone are the hoards of tourists. Instead you have clear frosty mornings, sunny days, showers carefully timed to send you into the nearest coffee shop for elevenses , moody clouds and snow-capped hills that have a way of calling to your deepest emotions. Many places in the Lakes are open all year round, and the log or coal fires glowing in the grates of most inns reminded us of by-gone days. more...

	Island In The Sun
	Location: Kuramathi, Maldives
	The ideal location for lovers and couples who do not require constant entertainment. Peace and quiet are the order of the day. more...

	Out of Season in Las Terrenas
	Location: Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic
	The small complex of apartments is situated within the jungle some 200 yards from Playa Bonita; a beautiful sandy beach stretching for miles. That's not to say you need to fight your way in, machete in hand. The grounds have been beautifully landscaped with colourful exotic plants to enhance those already there. more...

	Fun In Las Vegas
	Location: Las Vegas Circus Circus Hotel, United States
	There were so many things that made the holiday enjoyable - the friendly service you get in the USA is second to none, Belagio's fountain and the helicopter ride over Vegas at night and the thrill of playing on mega million dollar jackpot machines! Although I didn't win a mega jackpot I did manage to win a couple of smaller jackpots on a video poker machine with a Royal Flush and also a Keno(Bingo) machine. Las Vegas has it all, it's a great starting point for a west coast adventure. more...

	Terriffic Tokyo
	Location: Le Meridien Pacific Hotel, Tokyo, Japan
	The warmth and friendliness of the people was fantastic. Everwhere we went we felt very safe. more...

	Lapland Is Not Just For Christmas!
	Location: Levi and Ylläs, Lapland, Finland
	One of the best things about the resorts of Levi and Yllas in Lapland is the snow sure winter ski season, from December to March you can enjoy a holiday in the winter wonderland of Lapland. Many successful European resorts can also be terribly busy and the slopes almost hazardous as skiers and snowboarders seem to cross in every possible direction. Lapland, however, feels like a breath of fresh air as the slopes are uncrowded and queuing for the lifts, which seems to have become part of the skiing culture in Europe, is not even an issue. more...

	Touring the Netherlands
	Location: Limburg, Netherlands
	Our starting point was Maastricht which is a beautifull old town which has little bistros in cellars, beautiful parks to explore and a zoo more...

	Treasures Of Tenerife (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Los Gigantes, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain
	You really can’t go wrong for weather when considering a winter holiday in the Canary Islands, particularly as the travelling time is about four hours and the temperature during December-March is usually in the mid seventies. The Canaries are on the same latitude as Florida, so you can expect similar weather conditions without the distance of travel. more...

	Luxor Sights
	Location: Luxor, Egypt
	Whether you want to cruise down the Nile, explore ancient sites or soak up the sun Egypt is a land that has tempted travellers for centuries. more...

	Luxury in Luxor
	Location: Luxor, Egypt
	A great time, 5 days travelling up the Nile and visiting various towns en route and 3 days in Luxor for shopping and sight seeing. Very safe and culturally very exciting! more...

	A Stroll Around Madrid (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Madrid, Spain
	Madrid itself has plenty to keep you occupied for more than a week itself and I look upon this holiday as an opportunity to get a feel of the area in order to return at a later stage and spend more time at your places of interest. With this in mind I would highly recommend the first day walk about in Madrid as you get to find out where all the main sights are to be found, including restaurants, gardens and museums. more...

	Welcome To New York! (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Manhattan, New York, United States
	New York has to be one of the most talked about cities in the world. The focus of world trade, a heaven for shoppers and a focal point of entertainment. Why, even King Kong paid a visit! more...

	Magical Marmaris
	Location: Marmaris, Turkey

	Marvellous Morocco
	Location: Marrakech, Morocco
	Want to go somewhere for a honeymoon, a special anniversary or just a very different break, then Marrakesh and/or Morocco is for you. We stayed in early January and the temperature was that of a warm summers day in the UK and wonderful after the wet chill of England. more...

	Magnificent Malta (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Mellieha, Malta
	Though smaller than the Isle of Wight in the UK, Malta is an island steeped in history, where invasions from Phoenicians, Arabs, Romans and crusading Knights of the Order of St. John have left their marks, not forgetting the prehistoric settlers. Away from the history you have some beautiful sandy beaches and coves surrounded by a crystal clear sea. more...

	Cool Canada
	Location: Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Niagra, Vancouver, Canada
	We have just returned from what was truly the holiday of a lifetime in Canada. Canada was somewhere we had longed to visit and we were unsure of where to go in what we were told is the second largest country in the world. We finally chose a 17 day coach touring holiday which started off in the east and ended on the west coast with a flight across the middle. more...

	On The Road To New England
	Location: New England, United States
	Day 6 took us to the great lakes and the Niagara Falls - an experience I’ll never forget. We boarded a ‘Maid of the Mist’ boat, which took us right up to the base of the mighty Horseshoe Falls. We could hardly see for the spray, or hear for the thunder of thousands of gallons of water. And it was cheap at approx. £4 per head (including the souvenir plastic cape!) more...

	Easter Trip To New York
	Location: New York, United States
	Want to bite the Big Apple? Trek the Adirondacks? Lose it all in the gambling halls of Atlantic City? Sample the simple life of the Amish? more...

	I Love New York! The city is so exciting, with more things to do and see than you could ever experience on a holiday. more...

	New Experience in New York
	Location: New York, United States
	New York is such an experience. It has so much character, and so may places to go to - to see the sights and to eat. You could go back time and time again, and never be bored. It also feels very safe walking around, as there are many police everywhere, and you start to feel like a native after just a day or two there. more...

	Relaxing On The Nile
	Location: Nile Cruise, Egypt
	This was the best holiday I have have ever had. The people are lovely, the sights are unforgettable and the weather was great. This place leaves a lasting memory that on dull days back home warms your spirit. more...

	An Island Of Contrasts
	Location: Ochos Rios & Negril, Jamaica, Caribbean, Jamaica
	Jamaica, one of the most alluring of the Caribbean islands, lives as a tourist brochure cliché of tropical scenery and shimmering beaches. Its sunsets provide the backdrop for many a romantic picture and the reported laid back nature of the locals with a ready smile and quick wit portray a happy-go-lucky island. more...

	Land Of Aphrodite (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Paphos, Cyprus
	The area of Paphos is rich in archaeological sites dating back to the Greeks and earlier. You could well become a budding historian with no trouble in this area of Cyprus. If you love history then Paphos will provide some of the highlights to your holiday. As many will know, this is the land of Aphrodite, the goddess of love….need I say more young lovers? more...

	First Time In Paris? (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Paris, France
	Just a few minutes west from Gare du Nord “a pieds” you’ll find the arty quarter of Paris. Sacre-Coeur and Montmartre are so attractive and are situated on a hill giving an overview of the city as well as providing a bit of avant-garde atmosphere. We did them first and eventually took a rest at a well-worn little café a stone’s throw from the famous Place du Tertre, (a fascinating kind of artists’ market square) and had lunch. more...

	Poms In Perth (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Perth, Australia
	I left a cold damp England, three children, a husband (wondering how he was going to cope!), housework and the school run and boarded a flight to Perth with my two year old daughter, Lois. We booked back in November 2002 and flew out on Singapore Airlines from Heathrow for a seven week stay with friends who had emigrated last year. more...

	A Taste Of South Africa
	Location: Port Elizabeth, Eastern Garden Route, Cape Town, South Africa
	A really good day trip is the Cape of Good Hope Reserve covering a far greater area than we had expected. Cape Point is well worth the visit, apart from the super landscape, the sight of ostriches and baboons on the beach was unexpected. more...

	Dreams Of India
	Location: Rajasthan, North West India, India
	Rajasthan in the north west of India is large, about 700 km by 700 km, much of it arid. The attractions for us were the temples, Maharaja’ palaces and ancient hill fortresses and the people - many of the villagers were in the most vibrant colours with gold and silver jewellery. more...

	Peace In Greece
	Location: Rhodes Town, Rhodes, Greece
	Rhodes town has two parts - the new town which is the commercial centre and the walled old city. The old town is very picturesque and steeped in history. Both can be easily explored on foot and buses or taxis are plentiful. more...

	Sun, Sea And Samba! (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
	Rio is one of those places that has a certain "cool" ring about its name. When you've just returned from a fortnight's adventure you're left feeling that you’ve really been abroad and to somewhere very special. Telling everyone you've "just flown in from Rio" sounds far more exciting than "I had a two week holiday in Benidorm." Not that Benidorm should be avoided - it's just that "Rio" sounds great. more...

	Relaxing On The Nile
	Location: River Nile, Egypt
	This was the best holiday I have have ever had. The people are lovely, the sights are unforgettable and the weather was great. This place leaves a lasting memory that on dull days back home warms your spirit. more...

	The Canadian Rockies in Summer
	Location: Rocky Mountains, Canada
	To get to the Rockies, most people fly either to Calgary or Vancouver. We flew from Gatwick on a Saturday and arrived in Calgary 8½ hours later. I found an excellent 4-star hotel on the internet, it was the Marriott, and the shuttle bus took us right to its door. more...

	Rome, City Of Dreams And Passion (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Rome, Italy

	Location: Royal Savoy, Funchal, Madeira, Portugal
	Adrift in the Atlantic Ocean, some 400 miles off the coast of Morocco, Madeira blossoms forth an oasis of colour and variety celebrated every year in the capital, Funchal. And it’s there I head, travelling effortlessly some 34,000 feet with British Airways. more...

	A Country Reborn
	Location: Russian Cruise, Russian Federation
	There was an opportunity to sample caviar and vodkas. Maybe my report is influenced by them, even though I am a light drinker! A wonderful experience. After 55 countries, this is in our top 3 holidays. more...

	An Austrian Summer (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Saalbach and Hinterglemm, Austria
	Saalbach and Hinterglemm are situated in the scenic Glemm valley, surrounded by spectacular snowcapped mountains and beautiful countryside. There are plenty of opportunities for walking and the Schattberg mountain offers brilliant views from 6,600ft. (If you don’t fancy the walk there is a cable car!). There are many mountain inns where you can sit back and enjoy the view with your favourite beverage in your hand. more...

	Idyllic Isle
	Location: Samos, Greece
	Having visited the island several times we have fallen in love with the place. The people are friendly and what is amazing is that they remember you. There is lots to do, lots to visit and yet you will always find something new. It is wonderfully under-lively, which keeps our booze-culture away, making it the ideal haven to relax. more...

	Delightful Dorset (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Sandbanks, Poole, Dorset, United Kingdom
	If you're looking for long sandy beaches, harbour lights, beautiful scenery, water sports, an array of culinary experiences, shopping or entertainments then Sandbanks could be the ideal destination in the UK.

	France The Easy Way!
	Location: Sete, France
	On French Autorail, the service is superb, just cross to Calais, put the car on the train, rocket through the night and have breakfast in the sunshine, while they unload your car. Travel wherever you wish and stay at your "Logis de France" hotel. No Problems and no disappointments. more...

	A Heavenly View
	Location: Sorrento, Italy
	Rooms either have a park view or a sea view. We had a sea view and it was just as well or I would have stayed in my room all day gazing out! Simple, clean accomodation. Smart and polite staff who very much let the hotel setting speak for itself. Food simple, lots of fresh fish and salads, fresh vegetables and pasta with simple clean tasting sauces. more...

	A Walk On The Wild Side (FabHols Feature)
	Location: St Just, Cape Cornwall, Zennor, Porthcurno, Cornwall, United Kingdom
	There is no doubt about it, Cornwall is a beautiful county with some magnificent scenery, none more so in my mind than the coastal region. The South West Coastal Path(SWCP) is the longest national trail in the country, much of which is owned by the National Trust and I had the pleasure of walking very small part of it, namely Zennor around to Porthcurno earlier this year during couple of days of perfect weather. more...

	Sunny Days in Sin City!
	Location: Stardust Resort & Casino Hotel, Las Vegas, United States
	This was a brilliant holiday. We have been in July before but would suggest going 'out-of-season' as May was a much better time to go, less crowds and the weather was much more bearable. more...

	The Fantastic Fascinating Far East
	Location: Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand
	Without exception the hotels were clean and the food varied and good. Both European and Asian food was available. Getting non chilli laced food was not a problem. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented, interesting food. more...

	Bliss in Paradise
	Location: The Residence Hotel, Mauritius
	We arrived at the hotel and the foyer just literally took your breath away -there was someone to open the door, someone to take your bags, a waiter greeting you with a cocktail and someone to hand you a freshly dampened aromatic cloth to freshen up. We were in heaven and we hadn't got into the hotel fully yet! more...

	Crossing Canada in Comfort
	Location: Toronto, Vancouver, Canada
	We gazed at the fantastic scenery rolling past - the lakes and forests on the first day when one left Toronto, the prairies the second day (complete with bison!) and the Rockies on the third day, with moose, elk and 4 bears! more...

	Catalonian Culture
	Location: Tossa de Mar, Spain
	Imagine sailing around, dicovering very quiet secluded coves and spending the day in peace and quiet while sampling the delights of the small restaurants dotted around the coastline. more...

	My Oasis in the Desert
	Location: Treasure Island Hotel, Las Vegas, United States
	We stayed at the Treasure Island for three nights during April 2004 and it was one of the best hotels I have ever had the fortune to sleep in. Here's why.. more...

	Truly Paradise in the Maldives
	Location: Velidhu Water Bungalow, Maldives
	This was the most perfect holiday I have ever been on. It was an all inclusive deal and you wanted for nothing the whole holiday. The food was fantastic, there were at least 15 different choices for each meal including breakfast. If there was nothing you fancied (which would be hard going) then the chef would cook you something of your choice. more...

	Wildlife Wonders
	Location: Wakulla Springs State Park, NW Florida, United States
	One of our greatest holiday experiences whilst holidaying in the USA was a brief stop at Wakulla Springs State Park, North West Florida. Here we found a wonderful opportunity to view a wide array of wild life in truly unspoilt habitat including the now very rare manatees, alligators, otters, deer, turtles and birdlife that included the extremely rare limpkins, anhingas, purple gallinules, ospreys, bald eagles and a wide selection of herons. more...

	Visiting A Bond Villain's Lair (FabHols Feature)
	Location: Wengen, Switzerland
	"My name's Burns, Brian Burns". I handed the Gatwick attendant my boarding pass, took my seat aboard a scheduled flight to Zurich and soon arrived safely across the Swiss border. A car was ready and waiting - I jumped in and was driven to Lauterbrunnen where I caught the mountain train to Wengen. This time I'd not come to ski. It was a mission to bring back photographs... more...

	Fijian Paradise
	Location: Yasawa Island Resort, Fiji
	The snorkelling is wonderful, with coral reefs straight off of the beaches. If you want, you can have a beach to yourself. more...

	Bearing Up
	Location: Yosemite, California, United States
	After a fantastic week in Monteray (including a superb but slightly uncomfortable fish buffet at the aquarium, watched by a thousand mouthing fish) we headed north east for Yosemite. more...
