Have a list of places you’d like to visit. This doesn’t have to be rigidly stuck to, but it means you will make the most of you holiday. It also means you can ensure everyone is happy with the plan to reduce the chance of disagreements! Why not check out the FBM Holidays blog for inspiration as to where you could go. If possible, pre-book events as there will often be early bird prices available for attractions and you may be able to skip queues as well.

If you’re heading off on holiday as a family group, it’s important to make sure you all have a break from each other. Remember to take a book, a pamper kit or download your favourite podcast or TV series so you can have some you time. If you have children, make sure you don’t forget to pack you’re their favourite toys so they can also have some time out.

If you need to bring some work with you on holiday, make sure you set time aside to do it and make sure you stick to it. This will prevent you from feeling guilty you’re not working all the time and also means you can organise it so you don’t miss out on the most important or memorable bits.
