Travelling with kids
Making Memories: The Joys (and Realities) of Travelling with Kids Travelling with children isn’t always smooth sailing—but it’s almost always worth it. As a travel consultant and a parent, I’ve seen first-hand how family holidays can become the backdrop for some of life’s most treasured memories. Whether it’s building sandcastles on a sun-drenched beach, spotting dolphins on a boat trip, or simp

Hong Kong Short Family Stop Over
Hong Kong was a place I always wanted to visit. Just fascinates me when I have seen it in many films.. On the way to Borneo we decided to have a few nights here to break up the journey. For this trip we decided to fly with British Airways from Heathrow on the direct flight. Arriving into Hong Kong in the afternoon we booked a Family Room in Kowloon which was perfect for us. With only having a fe

Family Holiday in Mauritius
When it comes to Mauritius you may well be surprised at the value this island offers in comparison with a like for like Summer Med destination. Travelling in our summer (August) is actually winter in Mauritius. Some may argue that this is the best time to visit as it actually has less rain than the Summer months. As our family are not particularly sun worshippers this offered us a great time to v

Family Villa Holiday in Orlando
It's been over 25 years since I was last over in Florida so was really excited to see how much had changed over this time... In reality not much, they still have plenty of my favorutie restaurants and shopping malls that I remember visiting as a kid! As a family of 6 with 4 of them being children ageing from 4 to 16, getting hotel accommodation for us all can be tricky. More often than not we hav

Cruising around the UK
So we finally booked a holiday through our son Nick - our first ever cruise and we went posh and booked a suite. What a wonderful experience and we were pampered big time. We chose the Celebrity Silhouette UK cruise for 6 nights. We just wanted a short break away after a stressful two years and to celebrate last year’s 40th wedding anniversary ???? and I wanted to see the sea. That’s what Nick

Family fun in Crete
Like many of my clients, this was our 4th attempt and also 4th different destination for our family holiday this summer. So what's it like to travel during these strange times armed with certificates, vaccination proof and 4 kids, let me tell you... First and foremost I had taken our eldest to East Midlands Airport 48 hours prior to departure as he needed a negative antigen test to enter Greece.

Kuala Lumpur & Penang Family Holiday
Having visited Thailand the previous year as a family with 3 children aged 5, 8 and 10, we decided this year to be a little bit more adventurous and book a twin centre holiday to Malaysia. The Thailand trip was very much a dry run to see if the kids could handle such a long flight with connections and pleased to say they did so well, so without hesitation we booked to visit Kuala Lumpur for a few

Mr & Mrs Break - Ljubljana
After a fantastic and hectic summer with the kids we always like to try and squeeze in an annual Mr and Mrs break. Some adult time to recharge our batteries shall we say. This autumn we decided to visit the beautiful city of Ljubljana in Slovenia for a couple of nights. With direct flights available from Gatwick and Stansted we opted with the latter due to the flight times along with making sur

Phuket Family Holiday
So having been to a few longhaul destinations when it was just Mr and Mrs it was time to take the kids on their first longhaul holiday. Kids ages were 4, 7 and 9. We had decided on Thailand as the weather is very good in March and it's always good to get a bit of sun during the cold English winters. Aiming for a family resort we settled on Phuket, as we thought it would be perfect for the kids.

Maldives Honeymoon
They said the Maldives Islands wouldn't be about for much longer when I last visited for my honeymoon back in 2006. They are still there and still as beautiful as ever by speaking to friends who have visited them recently. I was lucky enough to spend eight days on Rangali Island and at the five star all-inclusive Hilton Hotel and Spa. We had already spent a week in Dubai so it was a short hop

Kos Family Holiday
For our family holiday in 2016 we decided to visit the island of Kos in Greece. Did you know that there are 6000 islands or islets that are scattered around the Greek coast, 227 of them are inhabited? This were our first visit to a Greek Island and we were not disappointed. Having three children of ages 3, 6 and 8 the only requirements from them were a waterslide and a hotel on an all-inclusive

Family Holiday in Lanzarote
HI had an absolute fantastic holiday with the family in 2015 visiting Costa Teguise on the island of Lanzarote. It was my first visit to this island in the Canary Islands and what a fab 10 days it was. We were quite particular in what we needed the hotel to offer to make sure our three kids would be occupied enough to maybe even get a quick five minutes on starting our tans! We had a mid-morni
