PLANNING HOLIDAYS

Though some consider travel a modern disease, everyone needs at least one holiday a year. Even a week-end is better than nothing. You need to get away from all your usual routines and get some fresh air and a change of perspective. Go somewhere quiet, where the climate is pleasant and invigorating. For the first couple of days, rest and sleep as much as you can. If you are in the mountains, give yourself a day or two to get used to the altitude; by the sea have a daily swim. Get to know the natives and their customs.

Do a little sightseeing, even if you do not like it. Always have a dictionary of the local language, and pick up a few words. If you prefer complete solitude, take some books and catch up on your reading. Dress simply and in accord with the climate. If you go on a walking holiday select your shoes carefully. The seaside is good for most people but definitely bad for some. Take the sun and the sea gradually, and don’t stay on the beach for too long. In fact, frequent short holidays are better than an annual long one. After the first week or two you begin to get bored, sunburnt, and lazy. It’s a good idea to have a hobby or interest. Try and learn something useful from your holiday. Bring back an unusual recipe or local pottery jug. An increasing number of people now go on “working” holidays, during which they help to repair an ancient wall or take pert in an archeological dig. A winter holiday is probably better for you than a summer one. You need it more at that time of year. Skiing, skating or walking on snowshoes will do you a lot of good. Don’t burden yourself with a camera; you will be always looking though instead of directly at what is around you. Don’t send holiday postcards – if you forget all about home, you will come back with more interesting tales to tell.
