This leaves us able to do what we're supposed to do on holiday- relax!

I cannot begin to thank you enough for your amazing organisation. Everything went like clockwork- all the drivers were there at the right place, right time (which in Africa is no mean feat!), Accommodation was absolutely superb (including a fabulous upgrade in Dubai, to a suite including free drinks and canapes each night!). We were also allowed to check in to our suite - on arrival in Dubai at 6.00 am! Essentially we had an amazing time - a truly memorable experience -more than just a holiday and something we will never forget.

Kate arranged a road trip for myself and my two boys in California. We hired a convertible Mustang and headed down from San Francisco, via Monterey, Santa Barbara, LA and San Diego. Then into the desert to Las Vegas, taking in the Grand Canyon and zip-wiring down Bootleg Canyon and finally to the Yosemite national park. It was an unforgettable trip. The boys had the best time too. Something for everyone. It all went without a hitch and that was all down to Kate! Thank you.
