For those of you that know me well, Las Vegas is my favourite place to go on holiday. It has great weather, fabulous hotels, every type of cuisine you could want and non-stop entertainment. For our fifth visit to Sin City we went in early June for seven nights flying with Virgin Atlantic. I really like going at this time of year as the weather is so good. If you like it hot, then it’s a great time

This was not my first time in Dubai but it was my first time staying on The Palm. We arrived just before midnight and found getting through the airport very quick. Our transfer was waiting to take us to our hotel for the next 5 nights, Anantara The Palm. Again, check-in at the hotel was really quick and we were escorted to our room. We were staying in a premier lagoon view room which is one of

Having never been on a cruise before I opted for a mini three night Taste of Bruges and Paris on Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas. I had pre-booked parking at Southampton and on arrival, we dropped our luggage off with the staff and parked in the car park opposite. It was a 5 minute walk from the car park to the check-in terminal where we went through security. After security, we proc

For the first time in 8 years, we decided to take our annual holiday somewhere other than the USA and after some deliberating, it was Thailand that we landed on! We flew direct from Heathrow to Bangkok, where we spent the first 2 nights at the Rembrandt Hotel. It was a great hotel in a really good location, close to the sky train so it was easy to get out and about. Due to the recent passin

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Orlando, Florida where I was lucky enough to be one of 50 agents selected for the annual Visit Orlando Super Fam - an educational that takes place every year and is said to be one of the best! Our itinerary for the week was jam packed, showcasing the best that Orlando has to offer. We stayed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge for the first three

When my husband told me he had tickets for the Euro 2016 semi-final and final in France I immediately saw this as a great opportunity to take a holiday in the French capital of Paris. Having never visited Paris before, I expected it to be very much like any other city such as London or New York but I was wrong. We had opted to stay in the Bastille area of Paris just a few minutes' walk from

On Friday 20th May 2016, I was one of the many lucky agents to be first on board Royal Caribbean’s brand new ship Harmony of the Seas and I was totally blown away! She is now the world’s largest cruise ship and is literally like a floating city. Our day started off on deck 16 where those brave enough could try out the world’s tallest slide at sea, The Ultimate Abyss. This dry slide will take

Celebrating my sister-in-law’s 30th birthday, me, my husband Gary, my brother Stephen and his wife Keely flew from London Gatwick to Las Vegas with Virgin Atlantic, in the upper cabin of the plane. As always, the food, drink and in-flight entertainment were excellent. Upon leaving Las Vegas airport, we took a taxi to our hotel on the strip which is just a mile away. I don’t think that you can

My Bucket List There are so many amazing places in the world that I would like to see, that picking just ten was really difficult but here they are, my top ten places that I would like to visit:- 1. The Masai Mara in Kenya during migration. I would love to see the famous wildebeest migration as well as all of the other animals in the wild. This dream was very nearly a reality after I manag
