We are going to consider some holiday ideas to beat the credit crunch, because despite the economic gloom (research from Sainsbury's Travel Insurance reveals) nearly 28 per cent of the adult population intend to book a holiday between Christmas and the end of February 2009. Even for those of us on a miniscule budget there are still ways to get away, but you have to be that bit more canny and flexible.First principle is decide on a budget and stick to it. First get an overall budget that you want to spend by the time your back. There are so many ways to do travel: packages, all inclusive, no board, full board, separate flights and accommodation and types of holiday too many to mention in one place that this is the only way to make some rational choices where cost is a driving factor. Once you have an overall budget then break it down, for example:> Flights (& airport taxes + supplements) or ferries> Airport parking or transfers or airport hotel> Accommodation> Food & drink (don't forget with the fall in Sterling these are going to be 25%-30% up on last year - take the upper figure as it may slide more)> Recreation and trips (car hire)> Souvenirs + duty free> Travel insurance> New...more

Here are some light hearted, useful suggestions for getting the best out of your trip and understanding better the rich tapestry of culture that is Italy today.1) TIME: Kick of your shoes, throw away your watch...everything is relative. Whilst much improved over the recent years trains, buses and people work on an "approximate" timetable.Learn patience and go with the flow.2) LANGUAGE: Unlike Northern Europe, English is not as widely learnt and used. Many Italians already have to learn two languages, Italian and their local dialect and until recently French was promoted above English. Italians suffer from a language inferiority complex so that even those who do speak good English are convinced that they do not and therefore only speak if necessity insists. Luckily the Italians are experts at hand signs and the language is so infiltrated by English words that one way or another everything works out.A common mistake in listening to an Italian speaking his mother tongue is to assume he or she is angry or excited. This is not always the case as you may witness...more
