THE BEAUTY OF BERMUDA
On arrival in Bermuda I had no idea what to expect. I went with the assumption that it was very quiet being only 22 square miles, primarily for business travellers, with lovely beaches of pink sand. The only thing I was right about was that the sand is in fact pink in places! This island, from the moment I arrived, enchanted me. From the drivers we met on our flight to the hotel we were fortuna

Stunning St Lucia
I have some of the fondest memories of St Lucia over any other destination I have visited. I find it so magical and very different to other Caribbean Islands. I stayed at the Rex Papillon on All Inclusive and it was just amazing. Everything you could want is at the property but the choice of excursions you have on this island are brilliant. I went on a catamaran cruise one day and saw dolphi

Dubai
I was lucky enough to travel to Dubai on an educational visit for 3 nights. Whilst there I experienced some of the most enchanting and bizarre times I think I’ll ever have. On arriving at your hotel, you kind of wonder where everything is, as if staying on Jumeirah Beach you are presented with amazing hotels on a huge coastline and stunning views out to sea with soft white sand. Dubai,

Canada
Well what can I say...... Canada definitely is one of those destinations you just have to keep returning to in order to see everything! We were lucky enough to go here, as it was my cousin's wedding, he lives in Banff and owns Banff Tours which was very handy indeed and meant we got to see a lot more than we would have going on our own. We were there for 10 nights, and did everything from ca

Dominican Republic
As a cheap destination, this place is absolutely fantastic. I would say it is very important to get your hotel right on this island, as in some areas the sea is just too rough to swim, or the sand is very deeply shelving so not good for the little ones. I stayed at the Sol De Plata Hotel in Sosua and although the hotel was excellent in every way, the beach left a lot to be desired. I don't gene

Malaysia
I was lucky enough to visit Malaysia on a work educational, as I honestly can say, I'm not sure I would have picked it as a holiday destination myself. I am very scared of insects, spiders in particular so wasn't sure at all prior to going!! I can honestly say it was a real eye opener and I would not hesitate to return again. I began my trip in Kuala Lumpur where we spent 2 nights, I stayed in th

Puerto Pollensa & Cala San Vicente
I went to Majorca last August and stayed 7 nights in a private villa called Villa Esperanca just outside of Puerto Pollensa and then booked in to the C'an Botana Villas in the resort of Cala S'an Vicente for 3 nights as we only wanted a 10 night stay. I have been to both of these resorts before years ago and fell in love with them then! Puerto Pollensa is an excellent all-round resort with over

Marvellous Mauritius
I went to Mauritius in 2006 for my honeymoon and stayed at the Heritage Golf and Spa Resort. The hotel was outstanding in every way, from the rooms which had a different scent every day to the beach which was glorious white sand and crystal clear waters. It was very well laid out so even when busy, it didn't ever seem it. The spa package again was amazing - they sit down with you the day after

New York
Well.... what can I say about New York?! Basically if I won the lottery the first place I would buy somewhere to live would be here! I absolutely loved the whole experience from the moment I set foot off the plane. It is really easy to get in to the centre of New York from either airport via shuttle or taxi. I stayed at the Jumeirah Essex House which overlooks Central Park. Absolutely excellen
