It's Nice To Meet You
Hello and welcome to my leisure travel webpage
My name is Adalaine and I have over 25 years’ expertise in the travel industry, working for some of the most well-known corporate travel management companies in the UK and New Zealand. I have worked with a broad range of clients from SME’s to some larger well known household names from a range of industries.
I have always been passionate about travel and have travelled extensively within Europe and further afield to Kenya, South Africa, Seychelles, UAE, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, USA and the Caribbean including Barbados, St Lucia, Antigua and Cuba. Next stop, South America!
As a travel professional, I pride myself on my track record of providing exemplary levels of service with a keen eye for detail which has helped in building and sustaining long term relationships with my clients over many years. A preferred seat or special request is never overlooked and I will always keep you up-to-date on the latest travel news, ensuring that your experience is as seamless as possible.
As well as specialising in business travel and because of my love for travel, I also offer a bespoke tailor-made service for the leisure traveller.
I’ve truly loved most of my holidays because I always find you only get out of them what you have put in and I’m prepared to put a lot in to help you plan the perfect holiday experience.
Whether it’s a relaxing spa break in the UK, an idyllic beach holiday or you are planning the adventure of a lifetime, I am here to help you plan your dreams.
The most rewarding aspect is when a client returns and has had a fabulous time and wants to start planning their next itinerary.
They say “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page” and so if you love to read as I do, please get in touch.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Adalaine

Quick Tour of Britain
If there is one thing that Covid has made us realise, it’s what’s on our own doorstop. From walking within a couple of miles of our homes to exploring the remotest part of Scotland, we can offer a UK break that’s right for you. I’ve always loved the UK, from my memorable holidays as a child to making sure my own children experienced a truly British break, buckets and spades and the stripy windbr

Captivating St Lucia and Charming Antigua Part 2
A short domestic flight between George F.L. Charles Airport and V.C. Bird Airport and we arrived in Antigua, quite a contrast from St Lucia. Where there is a raw and tropical element to St Lucia, Antigua enjoys a more charming feel but is every bit as beautiful. You are immediately drawn into the less frantic way of life here. We stayed at the Cocobay Resort, an adult only all-inclusive resort an

Captivating St Lucia and Charming Antigua Part 1
From the captivating diversity of St Lucia to the laid-back charm of Antigua: The Caribbean, 13 sovereign states and 17 dependant territories and who knew there were so many languages spoken here. Every island offers its own unique heritage and every island is as special as the next. After a slightly delayed arrival at Hewanorra Airport in Southern St Lucia, there was no time to waste as we did

New York State of Mind
My third trip to New York, in 26 years; it never fails to surprise and exceeded my expectations on a grandeur level. Having been to New York twice before, this time was a first with my two daughters! With Gossip Girl, Shopaholic and Friends at the forefront of our minds and photography on my husband’s, could we keep everyone happy? New York comprises of five boroughs’, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Quee

Cuba: Culture, Chaos and Cars!
Cuba is the Caribbean island with a twist, a history of communist struggle (although I would say the locals are pretty good with capitalism) and you have the captivating time capsule that is Cuba! From political challenges and revolutions to music and dance, this country has it all. Who doesn’t love a city by the sea? Havana is mesmerising; from the allure of music to an eclectic mix of colonia

Corsica July 2015
Our holiday to Corsica came about as my husband is a fan of Le Tour de France, a yearly occurrence that I endure the delights of every July. It’s usually a squabble over Le Tour or Wimbledon. I mean, how many hours of highlights do you need to watch! However, on this occasion he came up trumps and decided our next European holiday would be to Corsica. Not somewhere that was on my bucket list bu

Thailand 2016
Bustling Bangkok, an exhilarating metropolis of approximately seven and a half million people. It is indeed The Land of Smiles, the Thai people are very warm and welcoming. Our hotel for the next three nights was the Millennium Hilton and did not disappoint. Staff were attentive and everything you would expect from this well-known chain. Rising up from the banks of the Chao Phraya River, the
