Crocs, caps and carry-ons: the annual holiday packing meltdown (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As I write this week’s piece, I am packing for a family trip to the island of Crete. Pre-holiday is arguably the most stressful time of the operation as you get all your ducks in a row after countless hours spent weighing up hotel and flight options. What size luggage do you need? What’s the hand luggage dimensions? Can we take liquids in those see-through bags? How do we get from the airport to the hotel? How much is insurance and oh, so much more… It’s the packing that really grates: Do I take

Read excerpt
Yes, I am aware I am a man of a certain vintage and, yes, I should know better, but certain adverts wind me up like a tightly coiled cobra.

Read excerpt
I sit here the day after my return thinking: "This time yesterday it was 80-degree heat and I was supping an ice-cold Cruzcampo at €3 a pop." Coming back to the motherland is always a joy in anticipation, but it never takes long before I’m yearning for the next return flight.
