Bookings

Yesterday we booked a holiday for Easter. We are going to Jersey for a week. Neither of us has been to the Channel Islands before, so it is somewhere new to try. So we’ve booked flights, a place to stay and car hire, which means it is pretty much sorted. It means we will be away for Easter itself, which I don’t think I have ever done before. Hopefully this won’t mean that I don’t get any Easter eggs though.

We’re thinking of going to Austria in the summer, and possibly by train. So that is going to take quite a lot of planning because I imagine we will be moving about a fair bit. Fortunately I like planning holidays, as they do all seem to take a lot of logistics that need to be worked out and costed and finding nice places to stay etc. I should offer myself for hire. Satisfaction guaranteed. Probably.

ChrisB - Thanks for your comment! I managed to find it. Well, the plans are very vague at the moment, but I have found a useful website that is hopefully going to get me started on the Austria trip:

I will see what else I come up with as the planning continues and will blog some of it. We will probably travel about by train in Austria I think and possibly in Switzerland as well.

As for Jersey, there seems to be a complete lack of useful guidebooks, so I will have to discover a lot of it for myself. The actual planning of the various bits - flights, accommodation, car hire I did as totally separate bookings as it was the way to get exactly what we wanted, so we'll see how that works out!

Anyway, feel free to ask questions!

Kahless - do you have any destinations in mind?! I might be willing to offer some thoughts...
