Some people like to go on
holiday and forget the UK for the duration. However, some
also like to keep up with events back home and read the UK
newspapers as they come 'hot off the press'. Conversely,
some go on business trips and need convenient links back to
the UK. Whatever
category you may fall into, this website has something for
everyone. Not only shall we provide UK news for you from
your favourite news source, but you will also be able to get
quick-and-easy advice on other issues that can effect the
traveller.
Weather. You may be in
a normally hot, dry and sunny country. But if it just
happens to be raining - when will the rain stop? What about
mosquito activity? We shall give you links to weather
forecasts (and more) from various sources.
Travel. Planes, trains
and road-trips. Delays, cancellations, etc. These are all
critical aspects of leaving for your holiday and conditions
when you arrive. We shall try to cover this by providing you
with the links you need.
Passport / Visa.
Passport up-to-date? Visa required? Lost your paperwork and
need to locate your nearest representative (Embassy or
Consulate?)?
Emergency numbers. Who
do you call? What number do you dial? We're busy tracking
them down for you.
Legal. Perhaps you
have legal problems? Innocent bystander, or in trouble with
the law? Find a solicitor worldwide using the Law Society
link.
Medical. Some say they
never get ill. Often these are famous last words. Where are
the hospitals, the surgeries you need? What about calling
the number on your travel insurance emergency card that you
cannot find? This is a future project for this website. So
please watch this space for further news and developments.
Financial. One of the
worst things you can encounter are unexpected bills and loss
of cash or travellers cheques. As with our 'Medical' help
section, we shall endeavour to publish all the numbers you
are likely to need.
The News. It sometimes
pays dividend to read the news from the place you are
planning to visit. This is because important news stories
from your chosen destination often do not make it into the
British media. One example is an incident which occurred
about one month before the conception and creation of this
website. Several strong earthquakes happened on the Western
side of this particular country - with one being out at sea.
A tsunami alert was almost called. Do you think you should
know about things like this? Of course you should - if you
are planning to travel to a part of the world that is
affected in this way. The only way to learn about such
crucial issues is to interrogate the local mainstream media.
So, as part of our service, we shall provide you with links
to the major news sources of your destination.
Summary. Our mission
is to help make your holiday go a little smoother. We may
not be there to hold your hand in a crisis (God forbid that
ever happens), but we can provide you with one quick and
easy source to the help you may need.
Above all, we wish you a
happy and successful journey and that this website can be a
good companion that awaits you at your destination -
wherever it may be. So please remember this name:
