🍳☕ HOTEL BREAKFAST OR A LOCAL CAFÉ? WHERE DO YOU STAND?

There's something rather lovely about waking up on holiday and having breakfast waiting downstairs… but is it always the best option?

Sometimes, heading out can be part of the adventure!

🥐 A little local bakery
☕ A café with a view
🍳 A traditional local breakfast
🥑 Somewhere serving something completely different

And here's something worth considering: breakfast can be a great opportunity to experience a little of the local food culture, rather than sticking to what you'd have at home.

💡 Our AWTY tip: If you're staying several nights, why not mix it up? Enjoy the hotel breakfast on some mornings and explore somewhere local on others.

You might discover a new favourite!

👇 What's your holiday breakfast preference? Hotel buffet, or finding a lovely local café?

🧳 TRAVELLING WITH KIDS? Pack this in your hand luggage! 👕✈️

One spilled drink, a travel-sick moment or an unexpected delay… and suddenly that spare outfit becomes the most useful thing in your bag! 😂

💡 Our AWTY parent travel hack: Pack a small emergency kit for each child in your hand luggage.

✅ A complete change of clothes
✅ Spare underwear and socks
✅ Wet wipes and tissues
✅ A few plastic or sealable bags for wet or dirty clothes
✅ A favourite snack (where permitted)
✅ Any essential medication you may need during the journey

Extra tip: Put the spare outfit in a separate zip-lock bag. If clothes get dirty, you can use the same bag to keep them separate from everything else.

And don't pack all the spares in your checked suitcase — you might not have access to it during the journey!

🚗✈️ Whether you're travelling by car, plane or train, a little preparation can save a lot of stress.

🎢 Early Entry vs Rope Drop: Which Gets You on the Rides Faster?

Heading to a theme park? You might have heard people talking about early entry and rope drop — but they're not necessarily the same thing!

🎟️ Early Entry: Some parks let eligible guests enter before the standard opening time. This may be included with certain hotel stays, tickets or paid benefits.

🚀 Rope Drop: This is the term for being ready to go as the park opens, so you can head towards your chosen attraction as soon as access is allowed.

💡 The clever bit? If you have early entry, you may be able to enjoy attractions before the main crowds arrive. Without it, arriving before the official opening can still help you get ready for rope drop.

Just check the park's official opening times, which areas open early and whether your ticket qualifies. Rules vary by park!

👇 Which is your strategy: Early Entry or Rope Drop?

🧲🚢 Fancy a cruise cabin hack that could help keep your belongings organised?

Here's something you might not know: many cruise cabin walls are metal, which means you can use magnetic hooks and clips to make better use of your space!

🧥 Hang lightweight items.
🧢 Keep hats and accessories off the furniture.
📄 Organise daily schedules and excursion information.

Why are the walls metal? It's largely down to the ship's steel structure. That handy magnetic surface is an added bonus for keeping your cabin tidy!

Just remember to use magnets rather than drilling or sticking anything to the walls, and check your cruise line's rules.

🧲 Have you tried magnetic hooks on a cruise? Tell us your favourite cabin hack below!
