John Carter , Anne Gregg With the dollar and pound nearing parity, holidays to America have to be chosen with economical care. One way of cutting costs and seeing a lot of the country is by self-drive motorhome.
John Carter travels through Florida.
The cost of a traditional Swiss ski chalet holiday meant that it was only available to a few. With the development of the purpose-built jumbo chalet more skiers are now taking to this style of holiday.
Anne Gregg reports from Zermatt.
Cliff Michelmore continues his series on British holidays afloat, examining a holiday following the style set in Jerome K. Jerome 's Three Men in a Boat.
In the studio the latest news and comment to help you with your holiday problems. Film cameraman CHRIS SADLER Producer TOM SAVAGE

from Maidenhead
Maidenhead lies on one of the most beautiful stretches of the Thames just west of London. It's a part of the river immortalised by Kenneth Grahame in The Wind in the Willows and in the paintings of Stanley Spencer.
Sally Magnusson sees something of its beauty and meets Evelyn Gaze, whose life in the Salvation Army began with a blessing from General William Booth. Christians from all over Maidenhead meet in St Luke's Church to sing their Songs of Praise.
Songs of praise the angels sang; Travel on; Blest are the pure in heart: Lord with my all I part; Holy city seen of John; Walk in the light; Amazing grace; Now thank we all our God
