Colman Noctor: Soak up the opportunity to create memorable experiences on holidays

Not all time spent together as a family is equal.  Sometimes a break away from the distractions of life is needed to disconnect and reconnect with the people in our lives

Dr Colman Noctor: It’s not the expensive resort or the fancy food that they remember but the time you spent together

It is interesting to think about the pros and cons of a family holiday.

I did the maths and worked out that over the last year, I spent more than 30 evenings away from my family doing extra work to earn and save enough money to go on a family holiday abroad this summer. On reflection, it makes little logistical sense for me to be away from my children for 30 evenings to spend seven days together.
