travel light

cestovat nalehko

I always try to travel light. CALD

You'll need to travel light, with shorts, swimming gear, T-shirts and trainers and don't forget the suncream as the sun can be very strong. BNC

In Los Angeles workers joke that the rush hour begins at 5.30am and goes on to 8.30pm. BNC

At the height of the rush hour, when the streets were at their very busiest, two terrorist bombs exploded bringing the city of Manchester to a standstill and injuring 64 innocent people. BNC

package tour

organizovaný zájezd

We bought a cheap package tour to Spain and stayed in a big hotel by the sea.CALD

The average £350 package tour would jump by 10 per cent, with more exotic trips likely to incur larger increases, Sidney Perez told the conference. BNC

There was nothing here for the average tourist, nothing for my friends Jim and Mary, who go off every year on a package tour. BNC

be/feel seasick

After 5 days in Rotorua we went south to Taupo, a disappointing touristy place except for a lovely walk to the Huka Falls beside the crystal-clear, swirling waters of the Waikato River, and a visit to Cherry Island (in the river) where you are warmly greeted by numerous tame animals and birds as you roam around.

This recipe was given to me by a well-travelled customer on her return from the USA. BNC

William Titford's elder and younger brothers were each well-travelled in their own ways: Benjamin James had settled in Somerset soon after his brief spell in Cheltenham, and Charles Frederick was to see more of the world than almost any Titford before or since. BNC

travelling companion

It's a long way through the massive forests of larch and pine to Novosibirsk, especially if your travelling companion only grunts as he downs another tumbler of cheap vodka. BNC
