Family fun in the sun

I HAVE a theory.

You can sum up any holiday in one sentence. Distill it down and communicate its essence. Observe. France at 15: French exchange; French kissing; French loaves. Mexico at 25: surf boards, VW camper van, refried beans. France at 35: hot chocolate; hot tub; hot ski instructor (though none at the same time, obviously).

Lanzarote at 36: Active family holiday. Say no more.
