The City that never sleeps!

The City that never sleeps!

My favourite city....one I have been to a couple of times before and always wanted to take my family once they were older. The last time I was here, 2002 - 9/11 was still very much in everyone's thoughts. This time we had plans to shop until we dropped - walk until we had no legs left and of course see the Freedom Tower and go to pay our respects to the 9/11 victims at the memorial. It would app

Family Holiday to Tenerife

Family Holiday to Tenerife

So after 26 years working in the travel industry, I had yet to visit Tenerife. So August 2014 saw an opportunity to go and I grabbed it with both hands.

The hotel itself was a good all round All inclusi

The unforgettable Amalfi Coastline

The unforgettable Amalfi Coastline

You haven't experienced Italy until you have seen the gorgeous Amalfi Coastline. It’s all about the view! So over 20 years since my educational to Sorrento and the one excursion - Amalfi/Positano drive - I remember most vividly, I find myself going back to Amalfi to celebrate 20 years of marriage. On arrival at Naples we were met by a personal meet and greet service and the transfer down to Am

All inclusive in Spain-Fab!

All inclusive in Spain-Fab!

So after all these years in travel I had yet to experience all-inclusive in Spain. I booked it over 12 months ago, having booked the hotel for previous clients. I was happy with my choice....Hotel Invisa Ereso, a 3* hotel in Es Cana. I remember years ago taking a Thomson educational out to the beautiful island of Ibiza and visiting Es Cana just for the day and I remember then, vowing to bring m

Ski and Sun - a Fab Combination!

Ski and Sun - a Fab Combination!

After a very busy winter working long hours in the office, I desperately needed some fun on the snow. Normally, my annual ski would have been booked way in advance, but not this year. With only three weeks’ notice, we booked a late deal to Sestriere in the Italian Alps. A 07.15am morning flight from Manchester meant a very early start on the M62 over the Pennines. I had already pre-booked the T

A date with Mickey

A date with Mickey

A promise I had made to my children a couple of years ago, was here. We were going to see Mickey Mouse in Florida. I had booked non stop Virgin Atlantic flights, from Manchester. Experience had taught me that travelling with kids, on a 9 hour flight, I needed as much entertainment as I could get. Boy...I was not wrong. We each had our own seat back TV’s. The boys had been given their own Virgin
