When
you choose to travel, whether it is for business or
pleasure, it is important to plan your trip well before hand. Here are some
tips to help you. Don't be afraid to cash in your airline miles. Many travelers
let their miles accumulate and never bother using them. Reap the rewards of
your traveling and spend the miles you've earned! Miles have expiration dates,
so be sure to use them before they expire. Travelling is a great way to use
your airline miles. When you need to

Family Travel by Alan
Hawkins
One of the main motivators for as
family holiday is to create memories for one's children, to take them to new
places and allow them to experience the excitement of a holiday atmosphere. In
South Africa we are blessed with so many opportunities to do this.
All however is rarely according to
script, your baby and younger ones are immediately slip out of their normal
routine, meal times and sleep habits are soon out the window, you have also I'm
sure heard the painful cry from the back, "Are we there yet, Dad...?"
usually as one passes the outskirts of your own suburb or town, the very
beginning perhaps of a long trip.
Whether it is a beach holiday in
Cape Town, perhaps Margate of a trip to the Kruger national Park, bless their
little cotton socks, you've worked hard all year; earned some leave; packed the
car; secured the house; sorted the pool; kennelled the dogs; mowed the lawn and
all the other hard work you have to do before being able to take a holiday. The
day has dawned, and away you go, happy but probably a little stressed out as
you drive your family to one of the great Eastern Cape holiday destinations.
The attention span of children seems
extremely small, you might be able to look at an antelope grazing at Addo Park
for an hour or how a lion pride prepares for a kill for all of three hours,
your four year old simply can't it's impossible. Who can blame them, you are
driving, this gives you something to do, your spouse has worked hard in the
preparation and is quietly relaxing next to you, perhaps with a magazine, now
what about the children.
Our family has tried the eye-spy
route, car cricket, singing songs, "old MacDonald" and his farm has
really come in handy sometimes and many other methods of keeping the children
happy and smiling. Thank goodness for modern gadgets like music player. Eating
ones way along the kilometres does work, a few crisps and a sweet or two will
do little harm in moderation. One of the key things is your selection of
accommodation, you simply have to ensure that it is safe; secure and child
friendly for the respective ages and needs of your children. Please visit http://www.staysa.co.za
and the friendly staff will assist you in this process.
Our most important tip for travel at
any time, is road safety. Travel those distance trips during day light hours
only and obey every single rule of the road, most importantly stay within the
speed limit and do not drink and drive.
It sounds a little boring and you've
heard it before but it cannot be emphasized enough. "Are we there yet
Daddy..." is a lot better than "What happened Daddy..."
