The sunny Channel Island of Jersey is the Ulster Fly destination for the McCann family from Newry. Leonard McCann his wife Joanne and their children Niall and Lauren. At the end of the 1 hour 15 minute flight to Jersey, it is only a 20 minute drive to the Merton Hotel in St. Helier, where the family will be spending the week.

At only 45 square miles in area, Jersey is perfectly suited for some leisurely touring. Suzanne hires a car and heads out along the picturesque east coast, where she discovers the pretty little harbour town of Gorey and a string of secluded coves, such as Bouley Bay. And Joe gets on his bike and explores the quiet lanes and backwaters, easily and safely navigated via the Green Lanes.

Jersey is not the place to go for noisy theme parks and razamatazz, but the McCanns thoroughly enjoy their visit to the amaizing Maze, where an enterprising farmer has set up tractor rides, water pistol fights and a confusing walk through a maize field - a maze in the maize!
