As the Olympics looms ever closer, not everyone is looking forward to what will surely be the spectacle of the year. Will Usain Bolt break his record? Some simply don’t care it seems.

Currency exchange specialist Travelex has conducted research which has found that any Britons will look for holidays last minute to get out of the UK during the Olympics in order to avoid all the perceived hassles that will come with one of the greatest events on earth.

The research found that over one third of Brits going on holiday have booked their time off simply to get away from the Olympics, and that ten percent of them are in fact taking a longer holiday than they would have otherwise.

Over 170,000 parents are also planning on actually taking their children out of school early in order to avoid the Olympic rush. Thousands of tourists and visitors are expected to descend on London during the games, and city’s already under-strain infrastructure is expected to struggle to cope with the influx.

Says Wendy Pritchard, of Marlow, Buckinghamshire, which sits close to the M40 motorway: “We usually go on a family holiday towards the end of summer, hoping to pick up a last minute deal. But this year we want to get away as soon as possible. With the Olympics coming up I expect the roads to be gridlocked and for it to be a nightmare to get around. We’re hoping to be somewhere sunny and a little more calm come the start of the Games!”

Among the destinations in mind for these holidays certainly some of the old favourites will be on the list, for example Corfu and Gran Canaria. Gran Canaria, the largest of the Canary Islands, benefits from almost year-round sun and is ideally suited to tourists wanting to get away from London’s stress and hassle. Cheap Gran Canaria holidays can also be found online.

The gamma of colors for suitcases is huge on the online site, but it seems like brown colors, whether we are talking about men or womens suitcases, are preferred. While the suitcase was considered only as an accessory, starting with the last decade, people would want to assort the rest of the outfit with the suitcase. Therefore, if you want to be in style, you will need to choose a color for the suitcase that matches the rest of your outfit.

A black suitcase can be assorted with any clothe. As a woman, you will have to find a happy color, especially during your vacations. On the other hand, a red suitcase is great for a casual outfit, and with some simple jewelry.

Make sure the materials are of quality. You would not want for your suitcase to be worn after one or two years, and you surely don’t want for the suitcase to break in a crowded airport. The suitcases can be made of one or two elements, and those elements give the resistance to it. With some patience and a little inspiration, you will be able to find the best model online, and for some really good prices also.
