Saying goodbye to someone who’s about to depart on a journey can be difficult. Even as a writer, I often struggle to find the right words to say.

These days, I’m usually on the receiving end of goodbyes – but I’ve had to say my fair share of farewells, too.

While ‘Have a safe journey’ will sometimes suffice, quoting a simple message, a beautiful saying or even a traditional blessing is an easy way to make a farewell more meaningful and memorable.

I’ve searched books, song lyrics and inspirational sites to come up with this list of 65 safe journey wishes . You can say these out loud, or you can copy and paste your favourite into an email, use it in a caption on social media, or better still, jot it down on a hand-written note!

• The best quotes about travelling with friends
• The best quotes about travelling alone
• The best quotes for travelling with family

Tips for wishing someone a safe journey

Goodbyes are often emotional and can be overwhelming, especially when they take place at the airport or at the station. These tips can make saying farewell that much easier.

• Don’t leave your goodbye until the last minute. If you want to make it meaningful, make sure you set aside enough time to say everything you want to say.
• Focus on the next time you’ll meet. Whether it’s catching up for a meal or picking them up from the airport, make a plan and remind them (and yourself) that it’s only a matter of time before you see each other again.
• Make a time to speak. If you know you’ll hear their voice when the flight lands or the train pulls in, you’ll feel much better about sending them off.
• Remember, the person travelling is excited for the journey ahead – but they’re probably just as emotional as you!
• Reassure them that you’ll be thinking of them. These safe journey wishes are perfect for just that.
• It’s not only about what you say, it’s also what you do. Depending on your relationship, a warm hug or a hand on the shoulder can mean a lot.

Short and sweet safe journey wishes

These safe journey messages are thoughtful but to the point. They’re especially good for saying a quick goodbye on social media or by text message.

• Best wishes for a safe, happy and fulfilling journey.
• May the road be kind to you.
• Go safe, move safe, leave safe, home safe.

This goodbye message comes from a Middle English phrase meaning ‘May you prosper’.

When NASA astronaut John Glenn made the first manned orbital flight in 1962, mission control used the word ‘Godspeed’ to wish him a safe journey.

• Catch you on the flip side!

We often use this friendly way of saying goodbye in Australia. It comes from late-night radio DJs, who would use the phrase before they put on a vinyl record.

Listeners knew they wouldn’t hear from the DJ again until the record had played through and they had ‘flipped’ the vinyl to the B side.

• Stay out of trouble!

A cheeky way of saying ‘Have a safe journey’, appropriate for someone you know well!

• Smooth sailing!

First coined in the 14th Century, this phrase prophesied calm waters free from rough waves for someone who was about to set sail on the high seas.

It doesn’t just apply to water travel – nowadays, it can be used as a generic saying to wish someone a breezy journey.

95 most inspirational travel quotes ever penned

Our favourite inspirational travel quotes have encouraged us to travel with abandon over the years. Perhaps they will do the same for you…

For us, there is no such thing as luxury travel; travel is, by default, a luxury. It is a privilege provided by the country of our birth, a privilege that many are not as fortunate to enjoy.

Sometimes, we have to pinch ourselves at just how ridiculous our lives have become: an ex-teacher and jobbing writer travelling the world for a living. It is absurd, it is astonishing, it is luxury.

When I first went travelling at 21 years old, my father gave me this quote scrawled on a piece of card.

It infused me with wanderlust. It encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone, make the most of my time, see the world and enjoy the freedom that comes with being on the road. It remains one of the most inspirational travel quotes I’ve read (even if Twain did not actually say it).

Today, 20 years and almost 100 countries later, it’s still in my wallet. Despite its tattered and dishevelled appearance, it’s every bit as important to me now as it was then.

With that in mind, we’ve collated our most beloved inspirational travel quotes to encourage readers to “explore, dream and discover” for themselves.

How to Make Your Own Message Cards

Spreading holiday cheer doesn’t have to be store-bought. Crafting your own message cards adds a personal touch that’s sure to be appreciated. Here’s a simple guide to get you started:

• Gather Your Supplies :  Start by collecting your materials. You’ll need cardstock (pre-cut or cut to size), writing tools (pens, markers, etc.), and a ruler and scissors for precise measuring and cutting.
• Design and Decorate :  Once you have your base card, unleash your creativity! You can leave it a solid color and add a hand-drawn design, layer patterned papers for a unique look, or personalize it further with embellishments like stickers or glitter.
• Write Your Message and Share :  The most important part is your heartfelt message. Write it directly on the card, inside or outside depending on your design. Allow any wet media (paint, ink, glue) to dry completely before gifting your one-of-a-kind card.

Handmade message cards are a thoughtful way to connect with loved ones during the holidays. With a little planning and creativity, you can create beautiful and personalized happy holidays message that will be cherished for years to come.

Cranberry Lime Moscow Mule Mocktail

November 25, 2016 by Tangled with Taste 1 Comment

Cranberry Lime Moscow Mule Mocktail: A non-alcoholic, refreshing twist on a favorite cocktail drink. Ginger, Cranberry and Lime combine in a fun beautiful drink that will leave your taste buds dancing!

©Flirting with Flavor by FlirtingWithFlavor.com Pin it to your “Delicious Drinks” board to SAVE it for later! Follow Flirting with Flavor on Pinterest for more great tips, ideas and recipes!

This is such a fun refreshing drink! And beautiful too! I love to serve it up on the holidays, because the colors are so bright and beautiful, and the flavors match. A mix of Ginger-Ale, Cranberry, and Lime. This lovely drink leaves your taste buds dancing! It’s delicious!

So, traditionally a Moscow Mule is made up from 3 essential ingredients, and then you can add an herb or flavoring to change what type of Moscow Mule it is. Ie; Lavendar Moscow Mule, Raspberry  Moscow Mule, Cranberry Moscow Mule, ect… The Traditional Moscow Mule uses Vodka, Ginger Beer, and Lime.

However, this is a Moscow Mule “Mocktail”. Meaning alcohol free. So we’re gonna nix the Vodka. I also nix the ginger beer (insert laughing emoticon here! Haha!), and use Gingerale in it’s place. You don’t need to do this, you can totally use ginger beer. Ginger beer has a VERY strong flavor to it though. Like really really strong. So if you are using ginger beer in this recipe, be sure to dilute it with club soda.

By the way! Look how cute these cups are! Aren’t you in love? I found them at our local hardware store. How great is that?! I went in there for wood and came out with bronze cups and ideas for a Holiday Moscow Mule Mocktail. Oh happy day!

So how do we make this lovely drink?

• Get a good cup! Haha. Don’t worry I’ve got ya covered; because you probably have no idea if your local hardware store carries cool mugs like mine, I found you  a really cool set .
• Ice. Ice is always needed in a good drink recipe.
• Next, One part Cranberry Juice and Lime, Two parts Gingerale.
• Now garnish with cranberries and a lime wedge.
• Finally, Enjoy!

I mean how easy is that?! And it really is so good!!!

*A Quick Tip: To get the maximum amount of juice from your limes; Before cutting- rub them back and forth on your counter top, applying pressure with your palm a couple times. This releases the juices and helps you get more juice with each squeeze.

Okay, so here’s the ACTUAL RECIPE:

Ingredients

• 3 TBS Cranberry Juice (Per Mug)
• Juice of 1 Lime Wedge (Per Mug)
• 3/4 C. Gingerale (Per Mug)
• Cranberries
• Lime Wedges or Slices

Instructions

• Fill your Mugs 3/4s of the way with Ice.
• In this order; Add Cranberry Juice, Lime Juice, and Gingerale.
• Garnish with cranberries and lime.
• *Tip: To get the maximum amount of juice from your limes; rub them back and forth on your counter top, applying pressure with your palm a couple times, before cutting the lime. This releases the juices and helps you get more with each squeeze.

Share the love and Pin this cup of awesome to Pinterest!

Travel | elizabeth holmes’ projected release from prison is moved closer, subscriber only, travel | wish you were here: visiting one of the most remote places on earth.

Our intrepid readers have traveled all over this last year, sharing their adventures and travel tips from Alaskan glaciers to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro . But this one may take the cake. A Sunnyvale reader has just returned from Pitcairn Island. Read on for details, then find more travel inspiration at www.mercurynews.com/tag/wish-you-were-here/ .

Wish You Were Here

BRITISH OVERSEAS TERRITORIES: Sunnyvale resident Laura Lorman just got back from “an adventure to Pitcairn Island, one of the remotest places on earth and made famous by the mutiny on the HMS Bounty. It takes about four days in transit from California — first a flight to Papeete, Tahiti, then a flight to the island of Mangareva in French Polynesia — the flight is only once a week — where you get on a freighter for a two-night voyage to Pitcairn. Once at anchor, the freighter is met by a longboat from the island. You climb down the side of the freighter using a wooden ladder — you are connected to a cable, so you won’t fall — to the longboat and are transported to the island.

“The only places to stay are with families of the descendants of the mutineers, and the accommodations are nice. It is a beautiful island with lots of history to explore, and the families — there are 43 permanent residents — are very welcoming. You will meet people from all over the world on the freighter that takes you to and from the island. I met a gentleman from Vermont who stays on Pitcairn and works remotely during the cold Vermont winter.

TRAVEL TIPS: Plan well ahead! “The freighter takes a maximum of 12 people. You can find all the information on how to visit on the Pitcairn website at www.visitpitcairn.pn.”

Politics latest: China hits back over MoD hack; Labour accuses Tories of peddling 'economic fiction'

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps will make a "planned statement" later on news of a data breach at the Ministry of Defence; Rachel Reeves takes aim at the government on the economy.

• Vote 2024:   Council results in full  |  Mayoral results in full
• Live reporting by Faith Ridler

Iain Duncan Smith, the former Tory leader, has praised Sky News for reporting that China is understood to be behind a Ministry of Defence data leak.

Asked if economics should trump national security, the MP says: "No. 

"I'm one of the sanctioned members of parliament... because we raised the issue of the genuine genocide of the Uyghur people in Xinjiang."

He adds: "We've had this battle I'm afraid - with officialdom and then with ministers - and the reality...

"By the way, I congratulate Sam (Coates) and Sky for getting this immediately and being able to say it was China, others have not done that."

The MP goes on to say it is "certainly China who has been doing this", adding that the issue is that the West is now "massively dependent on China".

He points out that the majority of cars are made in China, as are millions of products sold online, and China is aware of this dependency.

"American has begun to wake up to this and is now being much tougher. We've been pretty hopeless, really."

The results of the local elections made for grim reading for the Conservative Party.

Last Thursday, polls opened in 107 English councils, with thousands of seats up for grabs. 

Ultimately, the Tories lost 474 seats and 12 councils, while Labour gained 186 and eight respectively.

You can see the results in full below:

There were also a number of mayoral elections.

In total, 11 mayors were elected. Here are the results in full:

• Tees Valley, Conservative Ben Houchen re-elected
• York and North Yorkshire, Labour's David Skaith 
• North East, Labour's Kim McGuinness elected
• East Midlands, Labour's Claire Ward elected
• Liverpool City Region, Labour's Steve Rotheram re-elected
• South Yorkshire, Labour's Oliver Coppard re-elected 
• Greater Manchester, Labour's Andy Burnham re-elected 
• West Yorkshire, Labour's Tracey Brabin re-elected 
• London, Labour's Sadiq Khan re-elected 
• Salford, Labour's Paul Dennett re-elected 
• West Midlands, Labour's Richard Parker defeated Conservative incumbent Andy Street

The Sky News live poll tracker - collated and updated by our Data and Forensics team - aggregates various surveys to indicate how voters feel about the different political parties.

With the local elections complete, Labour is still sitting comfortably ahead, with the Tories trailing behind.

See the latest update below - and you can read more about the methodology behind the tracker  here .

Rachel Reeves, the shadow chancellor, today rejected the suggestion the local election results point to a hung parliament.

Responding to a question after her speech in London, she says: "No votes have been cast in the next general election and we are fighting for every single vote.

"But the results last week, not just the percentage shares or the number of councils won or the number of mayors won - including in the prime minister's own backyard of York and North Yorkshire - but the places that we were winning are the places that we need to win to form the next government."

She adds: "I don't think the results last week point to a hung parliament."

Rishi Sunak yesterday said the results of the next general election are not a "foregone conclusion", after his party's slate of defeats in the local elections.

The prime minister was speaking off the back of analysis of the results  conducted by Sky News  which indicated the country was heading towards a hung parliament.

You can see Sky's projection - which puts Labour short of an overall majority - in the link below:

Rachel Reeves, the shadow chancellor, is now taking questions from journalists who had gathered to watch her speech, including our political correspondent Darren McCaffrey .

He asks whether it is now a policy of Labour that economic success is not just measured by data, but also by how people in the UK feel.

If that is the case, how is that worked out?

Ms Reeves says: "In the end, what success looks like is how people feel. Whether there is money in their bank balance, whether they have got enough to pay the rent, the mortgage, the bills.

"For too many people today, that is just not the reality."

She adds: "The mark of success is if people feel they are better off."

Darren also asked about the Ministry of Defence hack, and whether the government is going far enough with China.

Ms Reeves says: "It's deeply concerning."

The frontbencher adds the UK "should work with China where its in our national interest to do so".

But, she says, a "hard line" should be taken in areas of national security.

The Chinese embassy in the UK has responded to a massive data breach involving the Ministry of Defence, a hack which Sky News understands came from China.

In a statement, the embassy said such claims were "completely fabricated and malicious slanders". 

"We strongly oppose such accusations. China has always firmly fought all forms of cyber attacks according to law. China does not encourage, support or condone cyber attacks," the embassy said.

"At the same time, we oppose the politicisation of cyber security issues and the baseless denigration of other countries without factual evidence. 

"China has always upheld the principle of non-interference in each other’s internal affairs. 

"China has neither the interest nor the need to meddle in the internal affairs of the UK. 

"We urge the relevant parties in the UK to stop spreading false information, stop fabricating so called China threat narratives, and stop their anti-China political farce."

Rachel Reeves, the shadow chancellor, is delivering a speech in the City of London, where she will seek to get ahead of the Tories' response to a raft of economic data this week.

She begins by commenting on the results of last week's local elections, saying they show there aren't any "no go areas for the Labour party".

Turning to the economy, the Labour frontbencher takes aim at the "economic fiction being peddled by economic ministers", saying: "Labour is ready to serve the interests of the British people."

Ms Reeves says: "By the time of the next election, we can, and should, expect interest rates to be cut, Britain to be out of recession and inflation to have returned to the Bank of England’s target. 

"Indeed, these things could happen this month.

“I already know what the prime minister and the chancellor will say in response to one or all these events happening. 

"He has been saying it for months now: 'The economy is turning a corner,' 'our plan is working,' 'stick with us.'

"I want to take those arguments head on because they do not speak to the economic reality."

Ms Reeves goes on to accuse the Conservatives of "gaslighting the British public", saying the government is "deluded" and "out of touch" with the reality on the ground.

She  adds that the Conservatives economic plan has "failed on its own terms".

"What they're really saying is this is the best you can hope for - but I know that we can do so much better."

The frontbencher says: "I know – warm words are not enough. I do not underestimate the challenges we face. But I am so ambitious for our country. 

"I know the huge potential found all across Britain and the constraints that are holding that potential back are not immutable forces.

"They require vision, courage, and responsible government."

She adds: "The prime minister can just say the word, we are ready."

Members of Rishi Sunak's cabinet have been pictured in Downing Street this morning as they arrived for their weekly meeting.

Among the early arrivals were Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron, Home Secretary James Cleverly and Defence Secretary Grant Shapps, who is due to make a statement on the Ministry of Defence data breach later.

Our Asia correspondent Nicole Johnston is in Beijing, where the Chinese foreign minister has responded to allegations the country was behind a cyber attack on the Ministry of Defence.

She says: "It was largely an expected response, it was short, it was to the point, it was pretty much a slap down of these allegations coming out of the UK.

"The language was strong, essentially they called it 'pure nonsense', they said that China 'fights and firmly opposes' all forms of cyber attacks, and this is an attempt to smear other countries.

"This isn't an unusual statement to come from the Chinese when there are these kinds of allegations, we have heard similar allegations before and their response tends to be pretty straight to the point.

"There wasn't a great deal of elaboration there."

Train drivers have kicked off a fresh wave of strikes today.

They are part of a long-running dispute over pay.

Members of Aslef union at 16 rail companies will walk out on different days from today to Thursday.

Additionally, all members will refuse to work any overtime until Saturday.

Here is a full list of the services affected by strikes and when…

From holidays to shopping: eight discounts for UK over-60s you might not know about

It’s still the magic milestone when senior citizenship begins … with a host of money-saving offers to take advantage of

Travel for free

The UK state pension age has risen but many companies and organisations still hold on to “the big 6-0” as the point at which senior citizenship begins, and it continues to represent a money-saving milestone as a result.

In Wales and Scotland you qualify for an older person’s free bus pass from the age of 60. You have to apply and provide proof of age and address and a passport-style photo.

In Scotland you access free bus travel via the National Entitlement Card, which also gives those who live on Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles two free return ferry journeys to the Scottish mainland each year.

In England, the older person’s free bus pass only arrives when you hit the state pension age (currently 66) – except in London. If you live in the capital, you can travel there for free when you are 60. You can get a 60+ London Oyster photocard until you are eligible for a Freedom Pass, for which the current eligibility age is 66.

The 60+ photocard gives you free travel on buses, the tube, trams, Docklands Light Railway, London Overground, the Elizabeth line (excluding between West Drayton and Reading) and most National Rail services in London, from 9am on weekdays and at any time at weekends and on bank holidays (it’s from 9.30am on weekdays for the National Rail services). You also get discounted fares on river services such as Thames Clippers, and discounts on Santander cycle hire.

For full details, check out the TfL website .

Get a rail or coach card

The senior railcard is for those aged 60 and over and costs £30 a year, or £70 for three years, and gives you a third off rail travel.

National Rail, which issues the cards, says people with a senior railcard save on average £86 a year , or £5.26 a journey . The railcard is not valid during the morning peak period – times differ around the country, so you will need to check before you travel.

A National Express senior coach card, which costs £15 plus £3 postage, gives you a third off standard and fully flexible fares, plus £15 day returns to anywhere in the UK on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays.

There are no restrictions on peak and off-peak travel times, so you can travel when it suits you.

Holiday for less

If you are booking a trip away, ask whether your airline, train company or hotel, including chains overseas, offers a senior discount.

The budget hotel chain Travelodge has in the past offered over-60s 25% off selected stays, while Wyndham Hotels & Resorts in the US is among those offering reduced rates. Eurostar offers special senior fares for those aged 60-plus on its continental routes (for example, Brussels to Paris and Brussels to Amsterdam), but not for journeys between the UK and mainland Europe.

Enjoy a show

Many theatres and cinemas have special deals and showings for those aged 60-plus.

You can get £20 off tickets for midweek matinees (applying to full-price £89 and £69 tickets, or £79 and £59 tickets for the forthcoming production of Ballet Shoes) at the Lyttelton and Olivier theatres at London’s National Theatre . For shows in its Dorfman Theatre, higher-priced tickets are reduced to £36 for midweek matinees.

Other London theatres offering discounted tickets for over-60s include the Old Vic and the Young Vic.

The Ambassador Theatre Group runs one of the UK’s biggest ticketing operations, ATG Tickets, and says those over the age of 60 will get discounts at selected venues and shows, so it’s worth checking before you book. The Picturehouse cinema chain’s free-to-join Silver Screen club gives over-60s a free hot drink and discounted tickets, typically for matinee shows. The Odeon chain’s Silvers scheme shows films at quieter times of the day, with tickets from £3.50 including tea, coffee and biscuits served before the film.

Showcase cinemas have Silver Screenings on a Monday, with tickets for all films starting before 4pm usually discounted to £4.99.

Almost a million over-60s take advantage of the National Trust’s senior concession, a 25% discount off membership, bringing the cost down to £68.40 for individual senior membership, or £113.40 for joint senior membership, provided you have been a member for at least the last three consecutive years. The Royal Horticultural Society offers a hefty discount on its life membership, reducing the individual price from £1,495 to £935.

Shop with a discount

The supermarket chain Iceland has a Bonus Card scheme that provides all shoppers with offers and savings, but has an extra perk for cardholders over 60: a 10% discount in its shops every Tuesday. When shopping you will need to show ID – a senior bus pass, senior railcard or driving licence.

Asda is another retailer that targets the over-60s with deals. It ran a popular “winter warmer” meal deal between 1 November last year and the end of February this year, which offered soup, a roll and unlimited tea and coffee for only £1 in any of its 205 cafes. Keep an eye out for future offers.

Play or watch sport

Older fans of sports including football, cricket and rugby can often get discounts on tickets. In many cases you have to be at least 65 or 66 but there are several football club season ticket schemes, such as Sheffield United’s, that start reductions at the age of 60.

Some golf clubs offer membership discounts or incentives to older players. The age requirements vary. The GolfSupport.com website carried out a UK survey and published its findings , which may help you track down a good deal in your area.

Stay healthy

NHS prescriptions in Scotland and Wales are free for everyone but in England you need to pay until you turn 60; after that they are free.

In Wales, those aged 60-plus can get free NHS dental examinations, too. Everyone in Scotland is entitled to free NHS dental examinations.

NHS-funded eye tests are free for everyone in Scotland. In the other countries of the UK, those who are 60 and over are entitled to free NHS eye tests, which you can take up at most opticians.

Specsavers offers over-60s 20% off glasses, while Boots Opticians has a 10% discount on your first pair of glasses.

With the Advantage Card loyalty scheme at Boots you can access Over 60s Rewards, which gives you more points: eight for every £1 spent on Boots brands and selected exclusives, including No 7, Botanics, Liz Earle, Champneys and Joules.
