Dodging the Wildfires, Heat-Bombs and Riots: A Guide to your Family Friendly Holiday this Summer

Don't let the climate and civil disruption screw up a little family alone time

Jul 26, 2023

This year has seen an unprecedented number of wildfires and heat-bombs hit the top holiday destinations. Body numbing temperatures above 50 degrees seem no longer outlandish. And civil disorder is all the rage. We take a look at a few family friendly tips to avoid the climate induced holiday downers.

Tips you can bank on (probably not at Coutts) for a family friendly, non climate-screwed break:

Book a holiday swimming with the dolphins. Apparently they’re smarter than us so they swim in cooler waters. Plus they’re great at nose-butting, warding off those unwanted shark attacks. They’ll also jump the ice cream queue for you if you ask nicely.

Try and avoid known riot/terrorist hot-spots. After all things are sizzling enough right now. Even though getting held at gun point could make for a great viral TikTok.

You might want to avoid Jerusalem as it looks like everyone is up in arms. It seems Netanyahu isn’t quite the draw he used to be.

Make sure your family is trained in the latest anti wildfire prevention techniques. Keeping a full bladder at all times is high on the list. Just avoid scorching when you're in the fully potty position.

Get the sustainable, all natural fire-hoses out. It's very du jour!

Forget changing your money at the airport. Go and register for a Worldcoin and you get a free eye test at the same time. Apparently it's anti robots - helping you stay one step ahead of them. It seems that one of the robot founder dudes started this gig as a hedge in case his AI thingy blows up. (Potentially adding yet more heat to our already melting planet).

Talking of founders - go start a factor 5,000 sun screen startup. It’ll be all the rage next year when we go off the thermometer hot.
