Two boys, one apartment and lots of rain
23 June 2008
This year for the first time we chose to try out an apartment instead of a villa. We love staying in a villa, because we have privacy and our own pool. However, two teenage boys need more and more entertainment as the years go by. They love the pool, but after a while want something more. The villas we have hired have usually been quite remote too, so not so easy to stroll to a shop. So that was my thinking in hiring an apartment with a shared pool. I hoped they’d meet up with other people and the write up on the apartment said shops were ‘5 minute walk’, so I guessed that they could go alone quite easily. If you click on the picture you will see the view from the apartment balcony and the nearest shop circled. Make your own mind up how long it would take to walk there! It also had ‘2 private beautiful cascading infinity pools with sunbeds, shade, showers, and another large swimming pool at the exclusive Cumbre restaurant.’.

Mallorca
20 March 2008
Mallorca can get quite busy in high season and is not as quiet as it’s sister Menorca and perhaps isn’t the place to go if you want a relaxing break away from the mayhem of everyday life. However, it has some fantastic sandy beaches and array of sports and activities on offer. Flights from the UK take approximately 2 hours and you’ll fly to Palma airport.
There is a vast choice of accommodation, too. You can book a package holiday staying in a hotel or try some self catering in an apartment. Read more
Lanzarote, Spain

Lanzarote has proved to be one of the most popular all year round destinations thanks to its warm climate and almost guaranteed sunshine.

You can usually be guaranteed warm weather in Lanzarote and sunshine making it an excellent choice of destination if you’re looking for some winter sunshine.

Menorca
20 March 2008
Menorca is an ideal holiday for young children and babies. It is a small and picturesque island off the south coast of Spain with more beaches that its neighbours, Majorca and Ibiza . If you are looking for a relaxing break then Menorca is for you. However, the island really is small and if you have children who want more than a beach and a pool you may find yourself running out of things to do especially if the weather is not so good.
