The Precedent: Two Holidays trumps One

Air Force1: Speedy Unboarding

We all get excited about going on holiday so President Trump must have been counting down the sleeps for his multi-centre trip this week to include Saudi Arabia and Belgium.

Not one of my more popular itineraries this one but at least he doesn’t need to worry about laptop bans or getting enough space in the overhead luggage bins as he has his own aircraft (plural).

For the rest of us, we have to choose more carefully. However a multi centre trip can allow you to visit (at least) two different places on one trip. So here are some ideas that fit into a two week trip, although you will have to share your aircraft with other people! 

South African Lions: So near, So-far-i

South Africa is a great destination for wildlife spotting in the immense Kruger Park. Combine with stunning Cape Town & allow plenty of time (and a driver) for a visit to the Cape wine lands. There are many great beaches however there is a chance you might get eaten so instead, head to...  

Mauritius: Kids, Creoles & Coconuts

Mauritius over in the Indian Ocean for long sandy beaches, coral reefs and factory outlet shopping. The West coast gets the sunsets and is perfect for a sundowner or three before spicing up your life with some local Creole cooking which combines Chinese, Indian and European flavours.  






HOW: Fly in to Cape Town for 4 nights then on to Kruger Park via Johannesburg for 3 nights and then on to Port Louis for the coast (Flic en Flac) for 7 nights. 

California Hotel: Such a lovely place

California quite literally has the feeling of being on a film set. San Francisco offers Alcatraz, cable cars and the Golden Gate Bridge whilst Los Angeles has Beverly Hills, Hollywood and (the original) Disneyland. The beaches are good but they are better in...

Hawaii: Best place to catch a tube

Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific. Honolulu is on Oahu and home to Waikiki beach and Pearl Harbour. Alternatively there is the unoriginally named Big Island for volcano fans, Maui for star enthusiasts and Kauai to get away from it all. 







HOW: Fly to San Francisco for 4 nights (Union Square) then out to Honolulu for 7 nights on Waikiki beach before returning via 3 nights in LA (Santa Monica).    

Indonesia: Beaches to a Gili T

Indonesia is associated with built up Bali but for even better beaches without the crowds, head to next door Lombok. Here you can relax on the main island or head to the offshore Gili islands for some serious and simple R & R. When you are ready for civilisation, head to...

Singapore: Slinging from the rooftops

Singapore, the one city country where everything works very well. Air conditioned shopping malls, Chinese street food, a cocktail at the Marina Bay Sands and/or Raffles Hotel, this futuristic city is amazing. Even the airport is enjoyable!









HOW: Fly to Mataram via Singapore for 10 nights on Kuta beach (not that one) or Gili Trawangan then fly to Singapore for 4 nights (Orchard Road).

Cambodia: Angkor. Say what?

Cambodia is home to one of the World’s great sights, 12th Century temple complex Angkor Wat that was reclaimed by the jungle until relatively recently. It’s so much more than Tomb Raider. Take 4 days to fully explore the ancient city by motorbike sidecar staying in nearby lively Siem Reap, but be ready for some early starts! Then you’ll be ready for a beach stop. Head over the border to...

Thailand: Beach Koh-mers

Thailand and a half day drive plus ferry will put you on Koh Chang island. Less developed than the major resorts, it has accommodation for all budgets, some good isolated beaches. and local bars and restaurants at affordable prices.






HOW: Fly via Bangkok to Siem Reap for 4 nights then transfer to Koh Chang (Lonely Beach) for 7 nights then transfer to Trat and fly to Bangkok (Silom) for 3 nights.
