madison square garden ice hockeyThe Aussie dollar is so strong why not head to New York with kids or the "Big Apple" as its affectionately known is a hussling bussling city thats home to Wall Street, Times Square, NBC, Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building and hundreds of celebrities. Everyone, who is anyone, wants to be seen in New York yet there is still plenty to entertain the kids on a family holiday. We grabbed ourselves a New York City explorer pass and set off straight to the tourist buses that circle the city. You can get passes that last 1, 2, 3 days or even longer. These hop on hop off tourist buses cover all the districts and sights in New York including Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island. Your explorer pass allows you entry to many attractions and saves you a fortune toughest job is deciding which ones to do. We decided that going to the top of the Empire State Building was a must plus a cruise to see the Statue of Liberty, a horse and carraige ride in Central Park, taking in a show on Broadway, ice skating at the Rockefeller centre, a visit to the World trade centre site and a tour of Madison Square Garden. You can spend hours just looking around the shops in Times Square, there is a huge M and M World which is just amazing, everything you can imagine branded with every colour of M and M's. Right nearby is a Toys'R'Us store with a huge ferris wheel in the middle of it. There is a fantastic Hard Rock Cafe and Hershey's Chocolate shop plus restaurants, gift shops and neon lights as far as you can see will amaze little and big kids. Read our full review on New York...

castaway island fijiCastaway Island staff review - Georgie from Head office has just returned from Castaway Island in Fiji... When you first step off the boat and onto the beach you are surrounded by the always happy and smiling staff at Castaway Island. You touch on the white sand beach surrounded by tropical aqua waters and lush rainforest. You are taken to the lounge area for a cool drink whilst the front office staff process your reservation. The lounge, dining, bar area is all in one area which is a traditional Fijian thatched building with a beautiful roof covered in Fijian print. This is where all meals are served. And the food is divine! The chef takes a very ‘hands on’ approach to using the best of traditional and local produce to create amazing meals. This resort is the ultimate for parents and kids. The children have their own dinner time from 1730-1830 with their own buffet to choose from… And even hot chips for the fussy ones! The kids club is then open from 1830 which you drop the kids off for an evening of fun and games. Read full review ... See our current Castaway Island special ...
