Advantages: Lots of history

...Whitby in north east England is today a bustling little town that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Many come here because of its quaint narrow streets and it's old-worldly charms, others to see its old traditional working harbour. There is no denying that Whitby is a town that is steeped in a rich history and at the centre of this history is the story of Captain James Cook. Reference to this local hero, who sailed from here on his epic voyages of discovery to the New World, are everywhere that you look. In fact the residents of this town are so proud of their connections that they have dedicated an entire museum to him, which is known as the Captain Cook Memorial Museum. This museum is located on one of these narrow streets that so typify the old part of the town. The building itself that houses this museum... Read review

Advantages: Has a great tropical spicy taste
Disadvantages: Might pay you back with a swift kick to the arse

.... To add to my experience she did her thing, prancing about me teasingly loosening random articles of clothing and then fastening them again, as if to bust out stark naked at any second. Despite her teasing, I actually enjoyed it thanks to the alcohol and was quite content in just viewing a little past the lasse's borders and nothing else. The night went on and eventually she decided to retire, a bit exhausted from her twilight dance. I gave her a spiced kiss goodnight and made a mental note to retire soon as well, while the cooking was still warm. After enough Captain to get me loopy I decided to stop. Keep in mind now mates I wasn't even drunk, just a bit wobbly and that was about it. Unfortunately I fell asleep there in my chair and fell into a deep slumber. I awoke at about 6:30 the next morning feeling a bit sick. I was liteheaded... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, clean and cheerful
Disadvantages: Not for those who want to bring half their house in their luggage!

...I’m not a regular flyer. In fact this was my first flight as an adult! So I don’t really have anything to compare them with. However I was pretty happy with Thomas Cook! I flew with them from Gatwick (London, England) to Vancouver in Canada and back last summer. One of the weird things about this is that it doesn’t seem to be possible to book on these flights through the Thomas Cook website! I booked via Canadian Affair. I’ve done a separate review on them if you want to look it up. I also paid for an upgrade to 'Premier' class and I suppose partly because of that check-in was very quick and painless.
