How to plan a two-day trip to Jersey

A few years ago I took both of the kids to Guernsey in the Channel Islands and it was one the best family trips we have done together with it being an easy destination to reach from the UK. We took the ferry to Guernsey as it meant we could explore the whole of the island easily but you can also fly to the Channel Islands which also makes it a great weekend break option.  We are now planning to go back but this time we are heading to Jersey, I have been putting together an itinerary and travel plans and wanted to share this as the Channel Islands is a great option for a variety of reasons.

Conscious Collection Home and Fashion

Inspiring Norwegian Fjords  2. A Chic City Break - we plan to visit Paris which I have been to many times but c......
