Is anyone in the mood for a holiday? I hear a big yes! As we head into winter, there is nothing better than a nice low-stress holiday filled with sun, sights, plenty of relaxation and fun.
And, throughout the Mamamia office, there's plenty of anecdotal travel inspiration to soak up – from popular family-friendly activities on offer, to the best sites to see.
But even more enticing is to hear from the team what their favourite international holiday destination is and why.
Here's what seven Mamamia women had to say.
Shannen – Noumea.
My family and I are such big cruise fans.
Our whole family did a trip with Carnival Cruise Line recently to the South Pacific and had a blast. The sights of Noumea, Lifou and Mystery Island were beautiful (the water was so clear) and it was really nice to have a relaxing no-stress getaway.
There were so many activities for the young ones in our family, and they were obsessed with the free kids' club. There was the Seuss at Sea activities including Green Eggs and Ham breakfast, and Build-A-Bear workshop at sea. The mini golf was also an all-rounder.
For us adults, we spent a lot of our time at the Serenity Adult-only Retreat with a pool and bar. Other highlights for us were the live music and the shows, especially one of the comedy specials that had us in fits of giggles. Plus, with silent discos, '80's Rock n Glow Parties and other fun nightlife events, there was never a dull moment.
