Pollution and Holidays
When it comes to monitoring beaches for pollution, some countries are better
than others.
Shark tales make bigger headlines, but water pollution is far more common—and
a greater threat to humans than the creature depicted in Jaws ever was. In the
United States, fouled swimming water is responsible for tens of thousands of
beach closings and health advisories every year. Although there is still no
uniform federal protocol for testing water quality at beaches, information on
water cleanliness at most of the nation's public swimming beaches can be found
on the Environmental Protection Agency's site. Outside the United States,
however, travellers are largely left to fend for themselves.
Most pollution at swimming beaches is caused by bacteria associated with
fecal contamination. Some of these bacteria are harmless, but they are often
accompanied by more pernicious pathogens, including E. coli, salmonella,
giardia, and enteroviruses that cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and other
extremely unpleasant symptoms for the millions of swimmers who are exposed to
them every year. Though rare, cholera, hepatitis, and typhoid fever are among
the more serious water-borne maladies found at beaches around the world.

50 ways to save on your holidays
Richard Browning
SCHOOLS are clamping down on parents who take
their children on holiday during term time. At best, to get permission for even
one extra day off at either end of a holiday requires a degree of form filling
and letter writing that wouldn't be out of place in a Soviet police station.
Even then, the final decision rests on the whim of the chairman of governors.
While the difference a day makes to a child's education is unquantifiable, it
can add thousands of pounds to the price of a family holiday. But with this
option of saving money virtually outlawed, how do you stick within the rules
without breaking the bank?
Here are some examples from the article on how to save money on your holiday.

1. Book early
It may seem obvious but the holiday industry is like any other business affected
by the basic economics of supply and demand. The best time to book, according to
travel agent Trailfinders, is 11 months before you're due to travel. The flights
have just been released and there's plenty of cheaper seats available.
2. Book late
The rules of supply and demand also apply in last few days before the departure
date. If there are unsold seats and hotel rooms, you can bag a bargain with a
few clicks of the mouse, or a phone call or two.
3. Buy a package
The internet has been a godsend for people who wish to bypass the travel agent
and arrange their own trips. But here's a little-known tip: if you are booking a
flight and a car, or flight and accommodation, by packaging the two deals
together, an agent can often offer a much better deal than if you were to book
separately, even online. Call it creative accounting if you will, but it can
save hundreds of pounds on a long-haul trip.

16. Interail
Again, not just for gap-year students. There are many European and
country-specific rail schemes to enjoy. If you're really savvy you can travel on
the overnight trains with your own cabin to avoid booking a hotel.
17. Think about cheap hotel chains
In Britain, there's Travelodge and Holiday Inn Express among others. In France
there are tons of them dotted all over the country with rooms for three people
from less than £20 a night. They're close enough to all the major tourist areas
to make it a real viable option for the cost-conscious francophile.
18. Do your own research online
You don't have to pay a fortune or spend years trawling the globe for the hidden
gems. Just log on one or more of the travel websites and read the views of
previous guests. Remember: cheap doesn't have to mean nasty.

40. Beware the passport photo 'scam'
The rules on passport photos are now so strict that if you use a photo booth it
may take three or four attempts, around £14, before you get two pictures that
obey all the rules on size, reflection, smile and head size. So forget the
booths and go to a photographer who specialises in passport photos. You can
refuse to pay if the pictures are no good.
41. The foreign school holiday trick
When travelling abroad, check out the timings of the school holidays in the
country you are visiting. In France, the school summer holidays end before they
do in the UK. If you can wait a few weeks longer than normal before going away
you will find that rates in holiday accommodation drop dramatically since you
are no longer in their peak period. You will need to book direct with the French
operator and make sure you have the school uniform laid out ready for school the
morning after you return.
42. Beat the fly-drive system
When taking a fly-drive holiday in Florida many of the package deals include a
'compact' car. When collecting your car from the hire desk the staff may try to
convince you to pay for an upgrade using techniques such as explaining how
uncomfortable a family of five will be in a compact car, which is a little
bigger than a Ford Escort. However, you may find you get the upgrade without
parting with any money. Americans tend not to hire compacts so the hire
companies don't have many in stock. Reject any requests for additional costs,
take the keys and go to the car lot, where hopefully you will find a much larger
car, which hasn't cost you a cent more.
