WHEN I spot 200-yearold vines twining round a tree at Uka Farm near Tirana in Albania, there's a snob in me thinking: 'Albanian wine… really?' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

IT'S the first thing you notice on arrival in a hotel room. At least, it's the first thing I clock, with thoughts spinning in my mind along the lines of: 'why can't my bed at home look like this?' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AS far as first days go, this one will be hard to beat. I'm in Amritsar, northern India - at a farm where, after milking cows, I am dressed in a turban. Then I'm taken to the Golden Temple, a holy Sikh shrine with a marble exterior dripping with 24-carat gold. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

IT'S late, the light is dimming and my destination is a spot that locals claim has one of the best sunsets in the world. Reached down a trail that crosses through huge dunes, it ends at a gaspingly striking beach - waves crash on a ribbon of pristine white sand, glowing beneath the sinking sun.

NOT many holidays require emergency rescue within the first 24 hours, but our boating break on the Norfolk Broads is special in many ways. One minute we're pootling along in our hired motor cruiser. Moments later ... clunk! Our boat halts at an ominous tilt. I race to the top deck with my daughter, Hannah, 16, and son, Gabriel, 18. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

taking teens on a cultural holiday can be a huge gamble. But within 24 hours of arriving in Vietnam's capital Hanoi, not only have my daughters Hannah, 14, and Nathalie, 16, lapped up a pagoda, a palace and the mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh (the country's former revolutionary Communist leader), they've trilled 'Xin Chao' ('hello' in Vietnamese) to everyone they've met - and all with a smile.
