A perfect vacation that has all of this is a trip to the French colony of New Caledonia, situated about halfway between Fiji and Australia.

This island is situated farther south compared to other South Pacific islands, benefiting from southeast trade winds, plenty of sunlight and balmy weather. If a sailing holiday is what you are intending to have, New Caledonia is situated in a part of the Pacific that has the most remarkable coral lagoon in the globe. Sailing charters are available and with the aid of the trade winds you can sail out of the capital city of Noumea along the coastal line, past the many small islands that dot the ocean around the New Caledonia. The island also has other outdoor activities such as scuba diving, snorkel diving, horseback riding, canoeing, and kayaking.

An ideal location for a skiing holiday, Chamonix is a perfect location in which to rest, relax, and enjoy some of the best chalets in the world. Chamonix emanates a palpable sensation of history as grand as the wonder inspired by the raw splendor of the mountainside in which you find yourself. To consider sporting legend exclusively, when you stay in Chamonix you stay in the host of the first ever Winter Olympics.

Chamonix, near Mont Blanc, is a cosy resort made up of a cluster of villages which makes an excellent place to stay during any skiing break. Once you reach the airport in Geneva, transfer into the heart of ski country from where you’re in a position to plan the rest of your activities in a mountain range which draws sightseers and skiers the year round – and they have good reason.

Worthy locations for any form of extreme sports are close to the resort, providing the eager extreme sportsman with a variety of options – wider than many resorts can promise – and all Olympic quality. For less energetic visitors ski and hiking trails are everywhere, granting you incredible perspectives and accessible by cable car. But, there’s no requirement to be an expert to enjoy everything Chamonix offers. Trails, slopes, and runs for beginners and intermediate skiers are in regular use. While picking out accomodation for a skiing break for the family, luxury ski chalets are the smart move. A chalet will seem like a home away from home in the mountains and leave you with no need to give up luxury while enjoying winter sports. These homes away from home are all completely equipped and range from a romantic double bedroom to housing for families, featuring bedrooms, places to eat and roaring open fireplaces. Alpine vacations can bring you to an incredibly romantic anniversary or an enjoyable break for the entire family, and there is no more perfect place to operate from.

A friendly and welcoming population offer the chance for shopping among villages full of historic landmarks. With a quick transfer from Geneva airport this is a short flight to make and following your arrival it will be simple to assemble exactly the right combination of accomodation and sports, which will make it an absolute no-brainer to ensure a memorable respite…

Stroll around any marina and you will soon spot the classic sailing characters: the old enthusiast, patiently restoring a wooden shell to its sleek former self; the dedicated racer, tweaking his stripped out, cutting edge craft; or even tanned BMW man, who turns up on sunny weekends to take his latest woman out for a spin in his souped-up power boat.



Move to the bar, and you’ll find them easily. The old hand, scruffed down, ready for that all important anti-fouling job. The smart executive, shades in hand, leading an enthusiastic team-building session. Or the sun-bleached student, fresh from his gap year spent taking boats down to the Med.



But what about the rest? What about the unsung sailors? What about those resigned individuals who, worn down after years of hints, huffs and sweet-talking, finally utter the fateful words: ‘Oh, for God’s sake, alright then!’



In less time than it takes to hoist a mainsail, these women (for they are usually women) find themselves huddled nervously on the deck of a boat, trying to come to terms with the fact that yachts are supposed to tip over, and that this is good thing.



There are a surprising number of these reluctant sailors. Most, like me, would prefer never to set foot on a boat but, driven by the need to see their sailing-mad partners on at least one weekend out of twenty, occasionally venture out onto the water.



In my case, my ‘Reluctant Sailor’ status comes largely down to a fear of venturing into an alien environment, where I am not in control.



I do not like not being in control. When a yacht tips over, I want to know that it – that I! – can do something to correct it. When we are picking our way through a narrow channel, I want to know how to avoid hitting unseen rocks or other boats, and when my children are sitting on deck, I want to know how to rescue them if they fall into the water.



Education is the key and unfortunately this means that I, as the terrified new owner of a yacht, now face the prospect of learning to sail, so that I am not frightened of sailing.



But my reluctance stems not only from fear. There are many other reasons why I have no interest in sailing. It is cold. It is wet. It is usually raining, and always uncomfortable. Be honest now. How many good nights’ sleep have you ever had on a yacht?



And yes, while there are around three days out of every year when weather, location and company combine to make sailing a blissful experience, does that really make up for the other 362 days when it is not?



My husband thinks it does. And so, nine years after we exchanged our dinghy for a baby and a pair of patio doors, I have finally relented. We have bought a yacht.



He is happy. The kids are happy. And I…. I have come up with some ground rules to keep me happy…

1. The Force Four Rule – The Reluctant Sailor will not set foot on the boat if the forecast even hints at winds above force 4. [This rule is an adaption of the existing 12 C rule for dinghy sailing]
   
   
   
   
2. The Sunshine Rule – The Reluctant Sailor will not go sailing if there is no prospect of sunshine over the period of the sailing expedition.
   
   
   
   
3. The Anchorage Rule – No anchorage will be acceptable to the Reluctant Sailor unless it is within 100 metres of a pub/restaurant/hotel, and preferably a small town with a guaranteed escape route.
   
   
   
   
4. The Fair’s Fair Rule – The Sailing Fanatic will match every week/weekend that the Reluctant Sailor spends sailing with a week/weekend somewhere warm, dry and comfortable – preferably abroad.
   
   
   
   
5. The Don’t Shout Rule – The Sailing Fanatic must not shout excitedly when asking the Reluctant Sailor to do something. The Reluctant Sailor reserves the right to tell the Sailing Fanatic where to stick his boat if he raises his voice.
   
   
   
   
6. The Rain Rule – Unless the presence of the Reluctant Sailor is required on deck to avoid capsize, collision or other near-death experience, the Sailing Fanatic will deal with all work on deck while it is raining. The Reluctant Sailor will be having coffee and Kit-Kat’s in the cabin.
   
   
   
   
7. The Maintenance Rule – The Reluctant Sailor shall not be expected to maintain the boat under any circumstances. The words ‘anti-fouling’, ’sanding’ and ‘painting’ are of absolutely no interest to the Reluctant Sailor.
   
   
   
   
8. The Too Much Time Rule – The Sailing Fanatic is not allowed to go into a huff when the Reluctant Sailor casually mentions that the Sailing Fanatic has spent the last four weekends ‘fiddling with that wretched boat’, and that the handsome divorcee from next door has moved in to keep the Reluctant Sailor company.
   
   
   
   
9. The Packing Rule – The Sailing Fanatic will keep his mouth firmly closed on the subject of packing for a sailing expedition. The Reluctant Sailor reserves the right to bring along anything and everything needed to sustain her through the ordeal, but will, if pushed, draw the line at the handsome divorcee from next door.
   
   
   
   
10. The Children Rule – The Reluctant Sailor will not be solely responsible for entertaining/controlling the children in the cramped and un-child friendly environs of a boat. The Sailing Fanatic wished for a family sailing experience and a family sailing experience he shall get.
    
    
    
    
11. The Money Rule – The Sailing Fanatic accepts that once the sailing budget is gone, it is gone. He will just have to wait for that essential bit of kit. Any suggestion that this is not fair will cut no ice with the Reluctant Sailor, who is perfectly aware of her moral high ground on the subject of sailing and money, and will calmly point to the outrageous expense of buying the bloody boat in the first place.

As far back as 1770 the 1st tourist hotel was completed in Chamonix Mont Blanc France.

Before this Chamonix was a uncivilized and tough farming town where the locals hunted their animals and harvested their cereals.

Farmhouses at that time were used to breed dairy cows over the summer.

Their milk was preserved by turning it into different types of cheese and stocked in the village for use during the bleak winters.

During the winter season the farmhouses were bolted, and any valued possessions were locked in a liitle shed.

The person who came up with chalet holidays is unknown, it was in all probability numerous keen folk who recognised a set up that people liked.

With Erna Low it started when she was a homesick alumnand couldn’t visit her siblings back home as frequently as she wished.

So in the 1930’s she took a gamble and took out a small advertisement in the papers to invite guests on a winter holiday. For £15 they traveled to and from the village, had food and accommodation in the sole inn, and had ski gear and tuition.

The vacation was difficult, there were no chair lifts, no quick release fixations, merely hard leather boots, but it was such a hit that Erna carried on taking groups on vacation, guaranteeing she used great lodges and ski instructors.

The chalet breaks in the early years were a long way to the luxury ski holidays we get now.

Back then hot water was in short supply, the bathrooms had to be shared out by all of the clients, and there was no a cook; the guests were expected to help out with the chores.

It was a complete lottery as to who may share the chalet for the holiday, one could be agreeably surprised to meet new acquaintances, or grimace at the thought of having to spend any more time with them.

The Caribbean is the ultimate vacation destination.

These places can be explored by visitors by going on hiking, walking, or trekking tours either accompanied by local guides or on their own. The Caribbean also offers visitors some of the best opportunities to party. Resorts, hotels, lounges, restaurants, or on the beaches, no matter where one is, one is bound to have a great time in the evening.

Those looking for a relaxed and laid-back vacation can lounge on the spectacular beaches that skirt the islands in the Caribbean. A round of golf on some of the world-class golf courses makes for an interesting way to spend time in the Caribbean. Shopping is an event in itself and one would find innumerable gifts to take back home. A local market, designer boutiques, malls, or just small shops lining the streets are just some of the places to pick up some great souvenirs. A number of Caribbean islands are popular as they offer duty-free shopping. Some duty-free bargains include jewelry, cigars, and liquor.
