Make your own personal first aid kit and take it with you. It should consist of things such as Berrocca, chap sticks, and antibacterial dettol, imodium and Panadol. Believe me you will use it! ~ Andy
Always carry a sarong - it doubles as a towel, picnic rug, pillow, blanket, head protection when you forget your sunhat and covers the knees and shoulders in those countries that need it ~ Julie
A bicycle tour in the Loire Valley in France, fantastic to see a lot of a little with like minded travellers, and get in touch with your inner child as you cycle around such a beautiful area. ~ Julie
Self drive on the Great Ocean Rd near Melbourne, amazing scenery and so nice to get away from the city for a different appreciation of Australia ~ Julie
In Maui a day out on a Trilogy catamaran snorkelling trip and actually swimming with sea turtles just amazing! ~ Janice
Our travel insurance is valid from the day that you pay for it in New Zealand as well as when you are away, so if for some reason that you need to change your dates for a situation beyond your control, then our insurance will generally cover you for no extra premium ~ Vanessa
"Book an extra night’s accommodation if you have a late flight, you will be able to have a swim/shower before you head home." Lisa Ayers, HOT Takapuna
