We all need a holiday, it's essential for our wellbeing - but in these credit-crunch times it doesn't need to be a holiday that involves spending thousands of pounds going to an exclusive galmorous far-off location.
It's especially the case for a family holiday. A lot of fun can be had taking the children to, say, a caravan park in Wales so long as the emphasis is on fun and not money-saving. And with a bit of good luck, the weather in the UK is sometimes better than on continental europe.
To be honest, when I was a kid I wasn't much interested in exotic locations anyway. if you'd given me the choise of Tuscany or Center parcs I'd have definitely chosen the latter.
But if the money's there, why not try going somewhere different and off the beaten track? With the range of destinations available these days, there's bound to be something that all the family can agree on. Me, I'd like to head for the Northern mariana Islands since a) it's a pretty unheard-of destination and b) I could indulge my love of World war 2 history (ref: Battle of Saipan).
But sadly there's not the time this year, not to mention the hefty airfare, so it'll be a family trip to Wales (or maybe Cheshire) for me this year. Not quite as old school as the caravan pictured below, though.
