Family Friendly Friday Large, multi generational family want to go on holiday? Are you in charge of planning it, because you are the 'sensible one'? Or because you did it once and now its always your job? It can be a right headache to sort out what with: - lots of different requirements from all the family members - lots of different room types/configurations to consider - lots of different chil

Throwback Thursday This week for Throwback Thursday, I am focussing on ME.. and why to book with me! So here’s some pictures some of my travels, and some notes all about me. So reasons to book with me: - One of the reasons is because I am very well travelled, which is what I am demonstrating here in my weekly post.

The one in Cali is actually the original, just outside of Hollywood itself, where the films were made too! I have had a few clients this year ask about Disney in Orlando, which during school holidays, is more expensiv

Throwback Thursday Looking for a Proposal spot? I got you! Keeping in line with my USA theme, today I am looking back at my time in New York. I went back in 2013 but also when I was 18 on a school trip! If you haven't been and are unsure of the hype, yes places can be 'over rated', and some people say 'its just a big city'. But it really is so much more than that, its the bustle, and the famou

Wildcard Wednesday Time for another post for some holiday inspiration - this time adventure! I am focusing on the USA this week, and what's more 'out the box' than heading to ranches and riding horses in cowboy land, driving through National Parks, experiencing Yellowstone? What an experience. Now I have done some research in to this and have found a great way to do it is to hire a RV (campervan

Throwback Thursday Continuing my Wellness theme this week, I am going to mention a trip I was lucky enough to go on to Santa Monica, CA. This trip was with several other travel agents and we were taken round the sites to get a feel for the place, as well as some amazing hotels too!

Where to start? Well firstly, my first time experiencing Songkran I would say was the best day of my life.. and I am not even exaggerating. I mean a can of Chang beer in one hand and a water gun in the other.. need I say more? It is all about fun, and water of course! It’s the biggest water fight in the world (I am guessing) spanning not only the whole of Thailand but also Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar
