We’ve been in Australia for just over three years now. We’ve taken lots of short breaks since moving here to all kinds of stunning places, but what I’ve really been craving is a family holiday. Long gone are the days when we would enjoy hiking or romantic city breaks: now we LOVE family island holidays. Somewhere with white beaches and palm trees. Where we can swim in a lagoon.

When I was younger, we always took last minute holidays. Almost all of our trips abroad were booked as late deals – we usually had an idea that we wanted to go somewhere on a certain week but were pretty open about where we might end up.

Three children sitting on their Trunki suitcases

 The last time I travelled long haul, I found it really boring. I watched more movies than I thought possible and attempted to doze a few times. I read a book, drank wine, chatted to Husband and picked at the awful airline food. I obviously didn't have children at the time.Fast forward five years - and three children - later and I was terrified about flying from London to Brisbane with our 4yo boys (who never sit still) and our 2yo (who has serious control issues about being . . .
