By traveldecorum | Easter and Good Friday

It is almost blossom time and it brings with it a lot of festivities, joy and excitement of the holidays. April is one of the best times to plan a vacation; the temperature is often milder and is accompanied by some occasional showers that relieve us of the increasing heat. With Easter and Good Friday celebrations over the weekend, planning a holiday should be the first thing on your mind. With April also being the lean period in the holiday calendar, be prepared for some great discounts at hotels, cheap flights and fewer overenthusiastic tourists.

Things to remember while planning you Easter and Good Friday vacation:

• With the holiday just next month, do all your bookings and plan your itinerary in advance
• Check the weather conditions before you finally pick a place as April is a transition month weather wise
• Keep some accessories handy especially if travelling with children namely gloves, raincoat, umbrella
