IT is hard to believe it is February already. Reporter Henry Widdas has just returned from a fantastic ski break in the Spanish Pyrenees and next month we will be focusing on the French Alps.

Alongside that we are already beginning to plan our summer holidays, trying to take advantage of the early booking discounts still being offered by a lot of companies.

Half-term is just around the corner and, although prices do go up during school holidays, it is worth checking out our late deals page to see some of the offers we have uncovered.

Cardiff Airport is going from strength to strength and we are starting to hear of more and more good last-minute deals which won't involve you having to make the journey to Heathrow or Gatwick.

We also take a trip to a little-known area of Ireland, visit one of the most romantic cities in Europe and get a preview of this year's commemorations of the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar with a trip to Lord Nelson's Norfolk. Enjoy...
