Take That Holiday At All Costshe reality of these hard economic times is biting very hard in some quarters, and especially affects the holiday industry. People are working longer hours, sometimes for less money, and fighting off their credit card commitments with great difficulty. A holiday, seen by some as a luxury, is a vital ingredient for healthy living. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". So goes the familiar saying. But it’s true. A holiday recharges the batteries of life and uplifts the spirit and energy levels to work more efficiently. Holidays are often paid for by credit cards, thus increasing the problem and the spiral of debt in which some people find themselves. One economical answer to help get that well earned rest is to take a self catering holiday. Not a new idea and it comes in many varied formats. Firstly, do we stay in our home country or go abroad? Clearly, major savings are made by not having to go abroad. A traditional answer to this is to go on holiday using a caravan, either towing it to where you want to stay, or visiting a caravan site and staying in a static unit. Lunar caravans even have a connection with the Automobile Association who can help plan your route linking in with local attractions and restaurant suggestions for your entertainment. Some people prefer the open spaces and hitch up a tent wherever they want to rest their heads – the ultimate economy holiday. And others, of course, rent properties throughout the world according to their means. Whichever way you plan it, just make sure you get that well earned rest on a regular basis. It will keep you healthy. |
