The ritual of dropping by the poolside early in the morning to reserve yourself and family a sun lounger could be over for many as holiday companies are starting to offer holidaymakers the chance to book loungers when they go to book their all inclusive holiday.

If the recently launched scheme proves popular then next year you can negate the stress of having to get up early on your holiday just so you can get a place by the pool. Therefore you can enjoy a good sleep and spend more time with your family rather than arguing who will stumble down to the pool in the early hours of the morning.

I've heard many people talk about being on holiday and getting nagged by their wife to get up and reserve the sun loungers each and every day. I think it would be a small price to pay, around three euros a day, so you can focus on enjoying your holiday and relieving you of fighting the beach towel wars.

All inclusive holidays are a great way for you to just focus on enjoying your holiday. You don't have to worry about finding supermarkets for meals, keeping apartments clean or any other chores than come with self catering. Having this extra option of booking sun loungers further adds to relieving stress. All inclusive holidays can also save you money as well as allow you to enjoy your holiday.

With the recession upon us, the difficulty in finding work and staying afloat, having a holiday can do wonders, recharging our batteries and giving us the drive to come back to work refreshed. This little extra stress reliever may not seem like much but could certainly help ensure you enjoy a relaxed and have an enjoyable holiday experience.

Apparently it is currently only available to those on winter holidays to Germany but will be expanded to other destinations next year if the trial proves popular. Next summer we can enjoy this great optional extra.

If you want to ride the waves of Oahu without the crowd that flocks such North Shore surf spots, head to Yokohama Bay in the northernmost part of leeward Oahu. Also referred to as Keawaula Beach or Puau Beach, Yokohama Bay is a hidden Hawaiian treat for surfers, beachgoers, and nature lovers located near Kaena Point in Waianaie Coast at the end of Farrington Highway. The bay offers white-sanded, crescent-shaped bay against a backdrop of jagged pali cliffs. Characterized by trade wind breezes and hot, sunny days, Yokohama Bay is truly one beach paradise left unspoiled by development.

Yokohama Bay offers clear clue waters ideal for snorkeling, diving, shore fishing, picnicking, shell collecting, swimming, and sunbathing. To enjoy Yokohama in those manners it is best to visit Yokohama Bay during summer months when the ocean is calm.

In winter, the surf goes up as high as 20-feet. Surfers and body boarders take the waves here. High surfs, strong currents, and strong shore breaks become Yokohama Bay. Surfers also have to deal with the wind here--- which can blow erratically and unpredictably at times. Some days, the wind will blow offshore, while some days, the wind will blow onshore for half an hour, then change onshore for another fraction of an hour, then reverse to offshore again.

During high surf months, non-pro surfers should just stay on the shore and watch the excitement of the surf and the surfers tackling the waves of Yokohama--- high winter swells are extremely dangerous.

Services and amenities: lifeguards and restrooms at the park entrance, no bus service, no facilities
