The City that never sleeps
New York, New York – the city that never sleeps! I’ve booked a LOT of trips for people to New York over the years but sadly I’d never been there myself. When you haven’t been to a popular city break destination it can be quite tricky sometimes to make recommendations about particular areas to stay in. After landing at JFK, it took us 2 hours to get through the rush hour traffic – bear this in min

Accessable Travel - A trip to Bristol Airport
Accessible Travel - Holidays for Everyone A holiday – a chance to get away from reality and take time to relax. We book a holiday, jump in the car, the plane, the cruise ship and we’re immersed into a different world. What if it’s not as easy as that? What if you’ve got some accessibility requirements? We believe that traveling around the world shouldn’t be hard: it’s something everyone shoul

A Cunard Cruise to Hamburg
We boarded the Cunard Queen Victoria ship one Sunday afternoon from Southampton’s Mayfair terminal ready for our short voyage to Hamburg. Having been on several cruises over the years, I was keen to see what a Cunard cruise was like as they offer a first-class more traditional experience. The Queen Victoria was originally built in 2007 but had an extensive refit in 2017. These ships are very tr

A trip to Malta plus a cruise to Croatia & Venice
Flying into Malta, we were excited to experience our first P&O cruise. First though, we had 2 days to explore Valletta, Malta’s capital city and a UNESCO World Heritage site. We took advantage of the hop on and hop off bus tour so that we could get a good understanding of where everything was. There are plenty of historic sights to visit. We were staying at the Grand Hotel Excelsior, a deluxe 5-st

South East Asia Part 2
As you will have read in our previous blog, we recently took a trip to South East Asia. This part of the blog will cover our cruise and the places we visited. First stop on our cruise was to Hanoi, the Vietnamese capital located in the north. What was noticeable was the lack of cars but 1000’s of Vespa’s ruling the roads. Whilst in Hanoi, we took a trip to Ho Chi Minh Stilt House which is bu

South East Asia Part 1
Our recent holiday took us to South East Asia where we flew into Hong Kong, boarded a cruise and then flew home from Singapore. On arrival in Hong Kong, we were immediately hit by how busy it was – there was hustle and bustle all around us. Hong Kong is made up of Hong Kong Island, the Kowloon Peninsula, the New Territories, and over 200 offshore or outlying island. There is more to Hong Kong tha

Two very different 5 star Hotels
I recently travelled to two incredible but very different 5* hotels in Tenerife. One offering the most exquisite personal service that I’ve experienced whilst the other was a really cool, fun place to be whilst still maintaining the standards you’d expect from a 5* holiday. Our first stay was the luxurious Bahía del Duque in the resort of Costa Adeje in Tenerife offering exclusive, timeless wor

Caribbean Cruise
In November 2017 I was lucky enough to be invited to explore the Caribbean aboard the Celebrity Silhouette cruise ship. A Caribbean cruise offers you the chance to explore amazing islands and relax on beautiful white sand beaches whilst staying in luxury accommodation. Wake up every day with a new island to explore! Upon arrival in Florida, we spent two nights at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Mari

10 best ports to vist departing from Southampton
My top ten ports of call departing from Southampton Barcelona A great city to visit with so much to offer. After a short shuttle bus from the port you will find yourself at the bottom of the famous street, Las Ramblas. My advice would be to tour the city on one of the many hop on/hop off open top buses that will take you past all the major sights including Sagrada Familia, Camp Nou and the O

Europe`s rivers and castles aboard the AmaDante
In September, we were fortunate to spend a week cruising the rivers of Germany and Luxembourg aboard Amawaterways river boat, the AmaDante. After staying the night before in Bavaria`s second largest city, Nuremberg, we boarded the AmaDante on the banks of the Main-Danube Canal on a chilly afternoon. I was immediately impressed with the service, all staff waiting to great their guests and introd

Scandinavia & Russia Cruise
I have just spent the last two weeks aboard the Celebrity Eclipse cruising the Baltics. The Celebrity Eclipse is one of Celebrities Five Millennium class ships carrying approx. 3000 Guests and 1200 Crew. We awoke on our first morning in the Belgium port of Zeebrugge and were off early on the ½ hour coach journey to the small but historic City of Bruges. We embarked on a walking tour accompanied
