Advantages: Free, fascinating, fulfilling Disadvantages: Too far to go as often as I'd like!
Distillery and Visitors Centre (or Center if you?re American and don?t know how to spell properly!). Beautifully tended flower beds and manicured greener than green lawns are laid out in an almost quintessentially English style in front of the main building. The building is quite new but does not look out of place in its surroundings with its darkened windows and pale timbers.
Inside is a permanent exhibition devoted to the history of the distillery at Lynchburg which uses some fantastic old photographs of former staff at their work going way back to the very early days of the enterprise. It?s a good idea to have the exhibitionat this point because this is where you come first to collect the ticket for your tour. While you may have booked for a particular time, you will usually be given a card for the next available tour when you announce ...
Advantages: Scenic, quiet family orientated beaches, short travel time. Disadvantages: Expensive, maybe too quiet for some.
When booking our first family holiday abroad, we wanted somewhere quiet and not a 'party' resort. We also wanted somewhere with a short flight time. Menorca (or Minorca) fit the bill. It was described in the brochures as a quiet island with lovely beaches, and was a 2 hour flight from the UK.

THE APARTMENTS

Hi there!
I have just returned back today from Menorca, and had such a fantastic time, I wanted to share my experience in case anyone is looking for a brilliant holiday in the near future.
Myself and my partner arrived in Mahon (the recently made capital of Menorca) on 4th May 2007. We were travelling with Thomas Cook, and had booked a week in the Valentin Star Hotel (4*) located in Cala N Bosch on the South west Coast of Menorca. We had booked half board, which also included in flight meals. Booking about 6 months in advance, and booking online via the internet, the entire package for 2 of us cost the bargain price of under £500! I believe we saved about £400 by booking online.

Environment:
Menorca is noted for its ...
