Under Attractions+ Exotic locations+ Short breaks+ Travel tips+ family vacations
When you’re planning a vacation to a destination that’s new to you, it helps if you can find out a bit about the place before you leave. And although you can find information on many different vacation destinations on our main site, it never hurts to add a new resource to the list.
I’ve just come across a new resource that I think will definitely add value when you’re planning your itinerary. It’s called There are Places World Travel Guides.
The site is well laid out and loads up quickly, even though there are plenty of attractive pictures of various places - even on the home page. Once there, you can select either by continent, and then click on through to the country, state and so on, or just choose from one of the most popular city or country destinations on the right hand side.
There are videos of many of the places described as well, so the site is well worth a visit, even if you’re just browsing.

Under Overland travel+ Short breaks+ Travel tips
These Personal Valet pouches look really useful for anyone who travels a lot. I found them on ThisNext.
I’ve never seen anything like this on sale before - maybe I just never looked, lol. But if you’re already on your travels you can use those plastic shopping bags they give away in big stores in Europe in the same sort of way. Not so good, because you can’t see what’s inside without opening them up, and they aren’t labelled either, but it does work. These see-through bags do look really useful, though.

Under Short breaks+ Train tickets
Easter’s just around the corner, a time when the kids are off school, Spring weather’s in the air and a visit to Grandma is just the thing.
You can save yourself the hassle of queuing for tickets at the station AND save a packet on the fare by just booking your train tickets online
in advance - so you can buy more Easter Eggs with what you save - or maybe you should just keep quiet about the money you saved on the trainfare! It’s a great way to go, and one less thing to worry about when you’re off on your family visit.
