What floats your holiday boat lazing on the beach and soaking up the beautiful Mediterranean sunshine, perhaps getting to grips with all the fantastic wildlife on offer in Africa, maybe Holidays in Peru could be top of your agenda this year, or perhaps active holidays could well be your thing?

Well after lots of investigations and ploughing through various travel websites I have managed to find some brilliant family activity holidays that will definitely include activities that we all enjoy, but will also challenge us all to try our hand at new adventures. Now normally you will find me lazing around the pool on holiday and taking it easy, but this year as a challenge I have already signed up for a spot of canoeing. This is going to be something totally out of my comfort zone, because although I am a good swimmer, I have this stupid fear about being out of my depth in water.

Already my youngest has shown an interest in white water rafting. During an adventure holiday she went on in Wales she really enjoyed rafting so she will already have a rough idea of what to expect. She has absolutely no fear whatsoever, and is up for anything.

On the other hand my husband is going to be getting back on a bike for the first time in years. Well he isn’t getting any younger, so he needs a sport that isn’t going to push him too much.

We already have a few days itinerary planned and we haven’t even left England yet! What I am really looking forward to is that even though we are all going on holiday together, we are going to be taking part in our own activities and enjoying things we enjoy. It’s going to be great because come the evenings when we are all back at base, we will have a chance to catch up on everything and I am sure there will be lots of funny stories to be told. Well, have you ever seen anybody canoeing whilst wearing bright orange armbands!!
