Multi Leg Flights Explained

Multi leg flights are an ideal choice if you want to visit two or more locations on a single trip. Due to their size and diversity, areas of the world such as the Far East, Australia or the USA lend themselves perfectly to the multi leg option.

The great thing about choosing to take multi leg flights is that you don't necessarily pay more for choosing to stop over in a country on route. The rules of mid and long haul flights normally allow you to stopover at least once free of charge. So for example, a flight from London to Sydney can have a stop over in Hong Kong and on the return you can stop over at Singapore, all for the same price as a return ticket to Sydney. The only thing to consider is that you may have to higher air port taxes.

There are many options to choose from if you decide to take a multi leg flight, and if you can't find an itinerary that suits you then you can have a travel agency tailor a quote to meet your specification. To give you a few ideas, below is a list of the most popular multi leg itineraries.

London > Hong Kong > Singapore > Bangkok > Phuket > London

• Experience the vibrant cities of the Far East and end the experience relaxing on the golden sanded beaches of Phuket

London > Bangkok > Sydney > Melbourne > Ayers Rock > Perth > Singapore > London

• Visit the best of what Australia combined with stopovers in the Far East for sightseeing and shopping

London > San Francisco (surface) > Los Angeles > Las Vegas > London

• Explore the sites of San Francisco before enjoying the coastal drive to Los Angeles. Finish the trip enjoying the gambling and casinos in the entertainment capital of Las Vegas!

London > Cape Town (surface to) Port Elizabeth > Johannesburg > London

• This itinerary allows you to visit the highlights of South Africa. Hire a car and experience the scenic stretch of the southern coast, known as the Garden Route, to Port Elizabeth. Finish your journey in Johannesburg, where you can explore the casino resort of Sun City, located about 2 hours outside Johannesburg.

If you plan on taking a longer journey, then the organising of a multi leg flight can become quite complicated. It's advisable that you consult an experienced travel consultant who should be able to ensure you get the best deal possible.

Orlando Holiday Home - Why Aren't You Booking One?

You are visiting Orlando for a trip of a lifetime and you have heard that renting a holiday home can be a great option. The combination of value and luxury, freedom and choice sounds like a great opportunity. So why aren't you booking an Orlando holiday home? Is there something holding you back?
You feel overwhelmed. You look on the internet and there are so many holiday homes to rent in Orlando you simply do not know where to start. Never fear! Help is at hand. Take some simple steps and you will find that your search for a home for your Orlando holiday home becomes a pleasure not a chore.
The first step? Write yourself a wish list. Start with the basic things such as how many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need. Then look carefully at the location - Kissimmee and Davenport are great locations for an Orlando holiday home.Then what other things would you like? Do you want king beds, rooms decorated for children,televisions in each room? What is important for your family? Once you have really decided the things that are important to you and your family you are already narrowing down your search. So you will save time and energy!
The next step? Work out a budget. You will be saving a lot of money by staying in an Orlando holiday home. You may be surprised at the value you will get. Is price an indication of quality? The old saying 'you get what you pay for' usually rings true and Orlando villas are no different. Beware of cut price deals. Can the owner really maintain standards if they are offering low rates? Perhaps, but always think about this when you see a 'bargain' home.
Once you have found some Orlando holiday homes that you like the look of then start communicating with the owner. This can be by email of telephone - whichever you prefer. If there isn't a telephone number on the site then ask the owner if they will call you. It may be that they just don't publish their number on the site as they don't want it on the internet for all to see! Can you trust the holiday home owner? You should get a good feeling right from the first response. This is a big decision for you and you need to trust the villa owner. They should answer as many questions as you need to ask.
So go ahead. Start your search and find your perfect Orlando holiday home. You will never want to stay in an hotel room again!

Diving Mallorca

What are my memories of Diving In Mallorca?

First, unseasonal winds brought in scores of red jellyfish that resulted in the beaches being closed one day. As I was having to do a checkout dive from the shore, this dive was put off for over a week. So it wasn't until mid holiday that I got to dive at all.

The shore dive started with a hair raising jump off steps into deep water, but the drop into the water was about 10 feet, with quite a swell. A quick swim away from the steps to regroup then around the Cala. An interesting dive, but mainly seaweed and the odd small fish. A bit of time playing about near the rock formations then a swim right in until we could swim up the beach no more.

The boat dive was far more interesting and took us to about 30m, with the usual fish suspect to be seen. A lot better - seems to be if you are diving here boat dives are a must!
