Do you make life changing decisions on holiday?

Research by one of the UK's tour operators has revealed that more than half of life’s big decisions are made on holiday – and travel agents can have a “massive” impact on people’s lives by making sure the decisions are taken in the right environment.

Madeira needs everyones support

What a terrible tragedy for all on Madeira when severe weather caused so much destruction and loss of life.
Madeira is hoping a swift clean-up operation will stop it from losing holidaymakers after the island was hit by flooding and mudslides.

Whatever next every part of our lives is being explored I dont mind watching some of these shows if they are entertaining but everywhere you look now there is a documentary about something...

The 12-night roundtrip cruise from Southampton promises to visit the Jewels of the Mediterranean – woven with more than a modicum of guests, glamour and glitz from the whimsical world of Wake Up To Wogan.

Many members of the Togmeister's team will be on board to host receptions, entertainment, and evenings of music and mirth – and Pudsey is sure to make an appearance or two! Janet and John Marsh, and the mad ‘bus crasher’ Charles Nove, The ‘Loose Canon’ Roger Royle and ‘Voice Of The Balls’ Alan Dedicoat are already aiming to build up their parts!

And the ‘ Togmeister’ himself is hoping to helicopter in to rescue the whole sorry affair!
