A Holiday In Lilongwi

If you tell people that you are planning on taking a holiday booked in one of the many Lilongwe (4)beautiful Lilongwe hotels, the first word you are likely to hear is, “Where?”

Well, Lilongwi is the capital city of Malawi.

The city began its life as a small fishing village, and much of these origins can still be seen today. The city is divided into Old and New districts, and it’s in the New district that most Lilongwi hotels can be found. The city has a population of less than a million, and often has the feel of a green, uncrowded place – except on the roads, which although are well built, can be a bit congested in the rush hour.

Lilongwi is spread out, so you will need to get about by taxi, or you can try hopping on the local buses which are cheap, and where you will get a friendly reception from local people. There are plenty of great places to eat, and food is on the whole very good.
The climate is subtropical, with a short dry season. It’s probably a little cooler than you would expect for most of the year in this region. There is a wildlife center in the middle of town, and plenty of interesting crafts to buy. Out in the countryside, you can find great beaches and interesting villages to visit.

But most visitors are likely to come to stay in a Lilongwi hotel to enjoy the wonderful music of Malawi, in particular, its famous drumming. Nightlife really jumps, so expect to stay out late, and for safety, engage a taxi to drive you round and get you home after the last drumbeat has sounded.

Travel Tips for Traveling With Kids on Airplanes

Travel Tips for Traveling With Kids on AirplanesHere are some quick and easy travel tips for traveling with kids on airplanes:

1). Prepare them beforehand for the journey. Make sure they know that it will be long and might not be very interesting for them. This way, you are less likely to get complaints from them.

2). Make sure you take books for them. You can read to them or they can read to themselves. They won’t be interested in the in flight magazine, but books will keep them amused for a while.

3). Buy them a new toy or something to do to open on the plane. Even better give them a bag full of small items to open through the journey that can keep them busy. Ideas are small games, colouring, puzzles and things to read.

4). When the children start getting bored do some exercises with them on the plane help tire them. You can do some rhymes with actions you can do in the seats, or let them stand up in front of their seat.

5) Take some snacks for the children. They might not like the plane food, and if they get hungry they are likely to get grumpy and difficult. Also give them lollies or sweets for the descent to try to help with popping ears.

6) If you have a tablet or touch screen phone, download new apps before the flight so the children can spend time playing brand new games.

7) Wait till the end to board the flight. Then you will be able to see if there are any spare seats. This might give you more space so your children can lie down to sleep, which is much more comfortable for them and may mean a much less stressful journey.

8) Don’t forget your child’s favourite cuddly toy or comfort blanket – these could just strike the balance between a child who sleeps and one who screams.

9) If your child is awake when everyone else is sleeping, take them down to the flight crew and see if they have any entertainment for them. You will be amazed how interesting a set of plastic cups can be for a toddler.

10) Don’t forget to pack baby wipes and clean clothes for everyone. You can never predict if your child is going to get airsick.
