Advantages: plenty of power ballads to choose from!
Disadvantages: hardly any upbeat tracks, some can sound the same

...Up until Uptown Girl was released, I wasn't the biggest Westlife fan. I can't even remember how this album ended up in my CD collection (I think my parents just assumed that since I was a 13 year old girl I obviously must like Westlife and gave me the CD!) I do remember that this is the first album I owned by them and I'm glad I gave the album a listen. It may just be me, but listening to this reminds me of rain, it's got that kind of atmosphere. Whenever I can't sleep I put this on and I'm asleep within three songs (and I don't mean that in a bad way!). I can't do that with any of their other albums that I own so that's what makes it stand out for me. Even though Westlife have had loads more albums out since this one, Coast To Coast is still my favourite. Westlife consists of Kian Egan, Shane Filan, Mark Feehily (from Sligo... Read review

Advantages: Gorgeous design, clothes that last and last, clothes that make you feel special
Disadvantages: Price

...Intro Coast is my favourite shop in the world. The prices are such that I am unable to pop in and buy something every week (until I win the lottery that is!) . That aside I would rather save up for something special from Coast rather than go to the cheap shops I normally frequent all the time. The quality of the material is gorgeous, you always feel special in a Coast outfit and I love the design of nearly everything in the shop! You will also see below how everyone can afford something in Coast if they go there in the sales. Incidentally the stores are dotted all over Britian and there is nearly always one in your Debenhams, House of Fraser or Beatties. The Clothes The clothes are all of gorgeous quality, a lot of them being 100% silk. They have the classic strapless dresses (come with optional straps) which are timeless... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant tunes, Long Lasting Appeal.
Disadvantages: Some may be put off by another "BOY BAND" offering

...The album Coast to Coast is truly amazing!Westlife have come up trumps with this offering of musical wizardrey. Such tracks as "What makes a man" & "Against all Odds" are brilliant and some of the best I have heard in a long time. The album is made up of extremley addictive tunes and heart wrenching lyrics which really make you want to hold your loved one. I have listened to this album over and over again and I never get tired of it, infact, it seems to just get better and better! I would recommend this album to those who are already fans of Westlife but also to those who have never heard of them as this is a type of music nearly everyone will enjoy, and continue to enjoy for a long time to come! I take my hat off to WestLife as they have really out done themselves with this musical offering.... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant songs
Disadvantages: All mushy songs

...Westlifes album coast to coast shows another brilliant album from the lads.My favourite song My Love is tack 1 in the album and also has the single that was released What makes a man. There are many good tracks on this album each one deep and meaningful. The album is also a good value for money, as you get 19 tracks altogether. I know many people find Westlife boring and think all the tracks sound the same. I personally think that although all the songs are slow and meaningful they do have their own unique tune, unlike a lot of tunes around at the moment. The lads also have great and very talented voices, even the not so good lookings ones. Westlife could do with doing some more up beat tunes, ones that are a bit more boppy, however Westlife are wicked for the slow dance at the end of the night. Which is brilliant!... Read review

Advantages: Sun, surf, sand, golden holiday
Disadvantages: Bit touristy

...Australia's Gold Coast really does have it all....golden sands, golden sunshine...a dream destination. What a place. One morning I looked out the window of our 22-storey apartment to see massive whales frolicking along in the Pacific Ocean, water plumes bursting into the air - no binoculars needed to see such an impressive but unexpected sight. Australia's ''Sunshine State'', on the eastern side of this huge country, takes in the area from around Brisbane, down to Tweed Heads in the south. At the heart is Surfers Paradise - 80 kilometres from Brisbane and about an hours drive from Brisbane's international airport. There's also another international airport at Coolangatta and while that is closer to Surfers Paradise it doesn't accommodate many international flights. So, you want to know more about the Gold Coast? I... Read review

Advantages: Suberb photography, absorbing stories, historical record
Disadvantages: title music

...I don't mind admitting that I love this country of ours, and one of the things I love most is the spectacular coastline that we are blessed with. It is no surprise then that when the Beeb produced the first series of Coast I was an ardent viewer. Of course when the trailers for the second series started showing I did wonder how they could follow up the first one, maybe do it all the other way round? Walk backwards? As it turned out I need not have worried, save for the fact that through work and other commitments I missed all but two programmes. So I was mighty pleased when a DVD of the second series appeared on Christmas morning. Who, Why and What = As well as focusing on different areas of our coastline the original presenters are back but in slightly different roles. Nicholas Crane - geographer... Read review

Advantages: Lot's of songs at a reasonable price.
Disadvantages: Over do the Ballads.

...Westlife were bottom of my Christmas card list when they beat the Spice girl's to number one with this epic long player, even when the Girl's have plummeted from the charts 'Coast to Coast' is still going strong, only being held from the top spot by the all time greatest boy band 'The Beatles'. So what magic have Bryan, Kian, Nicky, Shane and Mark conjured up for mass population of teenage girls across the country, well not to go far wrong from the winning formula of the first album 'Westlife', we have this time a mega feast of slushy ballads, up tempo ballads and pop ballads. Perfect for the average teenage girl but what would the average punter think, bunch of woossies probably, but on the first listen to 'Coast' I was delightfully impressed, it is an enjoyable experience, even the sheer price I paid for it!

Advantages: strange and atmospheric landscapes, sense of adventure
Disadvantages: isolated and remote, very few places to stay on coastline

...-Naukluft Park, lies an area of where many Welwitschia Mirabilis plants may be found. These long-lived botanic oddities are one of the great natural wonders of the plant world. Having adapted to the dry desert soil, these plants are known to live to be more than 1,500 years old. Travelling north from Swakopmund, up the Atlantic coast takes you to the seal colony at Cape Cross. This is also the spot where Diego Cao, the Portugese explorer landed in 1485 on a mission to round the southern cape of Africa. The seal colony itself is a truly amazing sight as thousands of seals vie for the best place to sunbathe on the beach. Unfortunately, the smell is equally amazing and you probably wouldn't want to have your picnic at this spot ! Further up the coast you reach the mouth of the Ugab River and the entrance to the Skeleton Coast National Park... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic scenery throughout / Only real example of such a variety of landforms / Plenty of other things to explore
Disadvantages: There are very few, of which many really aren't relavent

...-Introduction- The Purbeck coast, runs from Lulworth to Swanage and Studland. It is well renowned for being one of the most versatile and active coastlines in the Britain and even the world. It is home to some of the most spectacular coastal landforms and anywhere and is generally very picturesque. It is somewhere that is quite local to me and I have recently visited the area on a geography field trip with the school. I do feel that it somewhere that pretty much any type of tourist will enjoy, for one reason or another. I will say this now so that you know to expect it, but there will be numerous geographical references, that I will make sure that I explain in an easily understandable fashion. -Durdle Door- This is one of the most prominent and outstanding coastal formations along the coast. It has been formed over... Read review

Advantages: Climate, Scenery, Value for Money Holiday,
Disadvantages: None

...My recent holiday bought through Lunn Poly’s web site (a Thomson Holiday), was to a place called Playa Dorada on the Northern (Amber) Coast of República Dominicana (Dominican Republic to us English!) I bought this holiday from Lunn Poly (Thomson) because of their reputation in the holiday industry and I must say that they were as good as they claimed in the adverts! The rep was extremely helpful and informative and she was very pleasant too. This part of the island is called the Amber Coast because of the abundance of amber found there, you will find a huge amount of amber jewellery to buy, along with black jade and the gem that is unique to the Dominican Republic, larimar, which is a gorgeous sea-blue stone. Beware though, larimar jewellery can be quite expensive but, if you are getting engaged as a couple did whilst I was there... Read review
