You know what its going to be like. Youll have a flight at
some ungodly hour of the morning from some airport thats
nowhere near where you live. Therell be screaming kids and
vomiting babies everywhere, your flight will be delayed and then
when you finally get to wherever youre going, your luggage will
be waiting for you thousands of miles away in some hellhole on
the other side of the world. And then youll discover that the
Paradise View hotel youve booked into doesnt view paradise at
all, but rather a stinking building site with equally stinking
fat workmen leering at you.

Why put yourself through it all?

Why not take the stress-free option this summer and have a
beautifully relaxing holiday to remember? No delayed flights, no
tantruming toddlers and definitely no sweaty foreign workmen.
Instead, put your suitcases in the boot, give your motor
insurance company a tinkle, squeeze your girlfriends into the
car (or if really necessary, your bloke), drive right past that
airport and keep driving.

Because youre not flying anywhere. Nope. Instead, youre taking
the relaxing route to holiday paradise- youre driving there.

Nowadays theres no need to spend hundreds of pounds flying away
to some luxurious destination. You can drive there yourself and
save a bundle in the process. Majorca, Corfu and Ayia Napa might
be out of the question, but there so many fantastic places you
can get to.

Just call your womens car insurance provider before you go to
make sure theyve covered you for driving abroad, then off you
go. Unless you really hate boats and want to go across to France
via the Channel Tunnel, ferries from Britain can take you to a
multitude of fantastic foreign holiday destinations.

Sailing from the South Coast you can go to a whole host of ports
in northern France in a matter of hours, with the beautiful
nearby beaches of Normandy and Brittany offering everything
sun-lovers could desire. If its not the beaches that youre
after, drive down into the Loire Valley or the Dordogne for a
leafy, luscious break among the vineyards and gently swirling
rivers, or head over to Paris, the romantic capital of the
world, for something a little more hedonistic.

If youre dead set on a holiday in Spain, then a slightly longer
trip from Portsmouth or Plymouth can get you to Santander and
Bilbao. On Spains northern coast, theyve also got a horde of
beautiful beaches nearby, and Frances southern sands arent too
far away either. A word of warning though, Spanish drivers are
notoriously bad and the chances of getting involved in a smash
are fairly high, so unless you want that womens car insurance
premium to rocket up, be sure to take lots of care.

Scandinavian drivers are nowhere near as bad as their Spanish
cousins, and a ferry from England or Scotlands east coast can
take you to the mind-numbing beauty of the fjords and mountains
in the lands of our Viking forefathers.

The landscape is, in a word, stunning, and the people are among
the most friendly and welcoming on Earth. For those looking for
a chilled-out week away, Norway, Sweden and Denmark are the
perfect locations to relax and inhale a bit of culture and
history. If thats not your sort of thing then head over to
Stockholm, Copenhagen or Oslo for a party to remember. If
theres one thing the Scandinavians know how to do, its have a
good time. Just remember to pack your paracetamol.

If you think you can take more, get back on the ferry in
Stockholm and take an overnight trip up to Finland. The trip is
world-famous as a non-stop party, and if you like your Absolut,
Carlsberg and Kopparbergs, its definitely the thing for you.

Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Germany and virtually any other
country on mainland Europe is accessible via a ferry or the
Channel Tunnel, and youll be surprised at how much more fun,
and cheaper, it can be than the packed beach resorts of the
Costa Blanca. Driving on the Continent doesnt take long to get
used to, and as long as you make sure youve got proper motor
insurance cover from a specialist car insurance for women
provider, youve got nothing to worry about.

So pack the suncream, grab some bikinis, cram in the girls and
head off for a holiday to remember. Youll love it.br
