Why Can’t Christmas be in February?
Every year Christmas comes and goes and I always say the same thing – why does it have to be in December? Whose bright idea was it to put the end of the calendar year and the most demanding social holiday within a week of each other? I should get that guy’s (or girl’s – we can’t be sexist!) number and give him/her a piece of my mind for really messing it up when it came to spacing out important events.

Do you Need a Reason to Take an Amazing Cruise?
In your teens travel can seem to be the most important thing, well, maybe after getting hooked up with another boy or girl. And money doesn’t need to hold you back because you’ll just rough it a bit, maybe back packing, using hostels or even sleeping out when you’re in a warm place. But then come the studies and hopefully a good job and before you know it you start wondering where that free spirit went. Working hard often means that you need to rest and recharge those batteries when you take a holiday, but for many of us lying on the beach for a couple of weeks just doesn’t…
