The 6 weeks Summer Holiday begins next week which means we have reached the peak summer season. The dilemma begins of how to keep the children entertained and happy. We are looking at some of the best activities and trips to keep the whole family entertained.

There is also many free museums to visit such as the RAF museum, Museum of Science and Industry and the National Museum Cardiff for a fun educating day out.
Whatever you do, enjoy the Summer Holidays!!
British Airways recently asked pilots for their top 10 airport approaches. There top 10 were:
1 Northern Lights – on North American flights
2 Central London – Approach into Heathrow
3 Mont Blanc – Approach to Pisa
4 Sydney Harbour – Departure from Sydney
5 Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and bay – Approach into San Francisco
6 Greenland – North Atlantic flights
7 Venetian canals – Approach into Venice
8 Table Mountain – Approach into Cape Town
9 Dubrovnik – Approach into Dubrovnik
10 Mount Fuji – Approach or Departure from Tokyo (Narita)
I think my favourite would definitely be the departure from Sydney, it is such an amazing city and to see if from the sky makes you realise how vast and beautiful it really is. I am not sure I would agree with the approach into Heathrow being number 2, as lovely as London is when you look at the other images Heathrow definitely doesn’t have the same appeal.
Some people travel around the world on a very little budget or do it gradually over the years. But what if you have the money to do it all in one go, and in style? Well this is probably what your trip would look like.

Fathers Day was introduced originally in America to celebrate the fatherhood and honour fathers, and is usually always the third Sunday in June. We’ve been looking at what people normally buy their fathers for fathers day? Some of the usual gifts include chocolates, clothes, beer, brief case and so on, but put down that tie and forget the chocolates . Why not treat them to something more special this year? Why not let them put their feet up and give them a night away to relax and refresh and maybe play a round of golf. We have some amazing hotels with beautiful golf courses that would be the perfect fathers day present to give that extra special gift!
We have also been looking at some of the most extravagant Father’s day presents that most people can only dream of. The most extravagant was a trip to Scotland, but not your usual weekend break. This included:
A 5-day trip to Scotland complete with first-class air and helicopter transport; luxurious accommodation, including a stay at a private mansion; meals prepared by one of Scotland’s most acclaimed chefs; a round of golf at the famous St. Andrews Links; a bespoke kilt and family crest consultation; his own private butler during his stay; dinner at Inverrary Castle, home of the Duke of Argyle; a private blending session with Chivas Regal’s master blender; and five days of specialized whiskey tastings and when Dad and his guest return home, they will receive their custom kilts; and two bottles of Chivas Regal 25-year-old scotch whiskey, one of which will arrive in a special case designed by Viscount David Linley, son of Princess Margaret. All of this for a mere a mere $117,650!
Beyoncé reached a whole new level when she brought a Father’s Day gift for Jay-Z, buying a $40 million private jet. The new Bombardier Challenger 850 has in it, a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and not one but two bathrooms.
So we had an exciting week this week!!! ☺

Neaschawanstein Castle, Bovaria Germany
A 19th century Romanesque revival palace sits on a rugged hill over looking a village in southwest Bavaria, germany. This beautiful and regal castle was the inspiration for Disney’s sleeping beauty castle, now tell me you wouldn’t want to play princess even if only a night here!
