Celtic Moment

The time from landing to departure between flights is 5 hours and 30 minutes, and I may not have to recheck baggage since I´m travelling with British Airways for the whole trip. Should I hang out in the terminal for 5 hours or will I be able to see Windsor Castle since I´ve already seen central London? I am a US Citizen and will therefore have to wait in the Immigration Queue before leaving the airport, so I don´t know whether it would be worth it to leave and return after a quick trip to Windsor.

I’m Irish so I’m hoping they leave it. Why should a country like Scotland not be entirely their own?

My two friends and I are going up to Scotland for 10 days our coach arrives in Edinburgh on May 12th and I leave from Edinburgh May 22. We want to see all we can during our trip and plan to day walk and take transport when ever possible. Are there any routes we should take/ best way to get up to the Highlands and still be able to get back to Edinburgh for the Coach?

How will you be spending your Christmas? Perhaps you aren’t looking forward to all the bustle associated with having the family round this year, which will inevitably mean you slave in the kitchen everyone else enjoys a glass of mulled wine and biscuits. Why not let someone else do the hard work this Christmas, and head out for a festive feast and a Christmas break from the usual chaos.

With a myriad of luxury hotels and restaurants offering fantastic breaks during the festive period, you’re sure to find something to your taste. Whether it’s just a slap-up meal or a weekend away, there is something for everyone.

With many venues offering entertainment and fine dining, it’s possible to have a truly enjoyable and personal Christmas getaway with relatives or friends. Perhaps a venture up north to the Scottish Highlands appeals to you, with a magnificently romantic setting providing a spectacular backdrop to a relaxing break in a luxury hotel, complete with log fire and traditional Christmas décor.

Alternatively, a city break may be the ideal option for those seeking a party atmosphere at this time of the year, celebrating the festive season with style amongst friends in a stylish city centre restaurant or hotel. There is an obvious attraction to a seasonal break, allowing everyone to unwind and forget the everyday stresses of work and domestic life, whilst sitting back and letting others serve you for a change.

Even children are catered for as part of some packages on offer, with Santa Claus making a routine visit to wherever you may be to surprise the kids with gifts and wish everyone a merry Christmas.

Whatever your plans this year, take a moment to consider the selection of Christmas breaks in the UK on offer. After all, what could be better than enjoying all the magical parts of Christmas – the presents, the good food, the woolly jumpers and Christmas carols – without enduring any of the strain and chore of ensuring that all runs smoothly.
