Terri’s Travels

29/08/2026

Summer has been pretty quiet in terms of travel, but we have been been on quite a journey! We had to cancel our cruise to the Norwegian Fjords and our holiday on the Norfolk Broads as they both potentially clashed with the arrival of our first grandchild- who naturally took priority!! My gorgeous daughter Georgia delivered us a perfect Granddaughter at the end of July, and Cameron had also become an exceptionally proud Uncle!
So summer has been all about family, enjoying time closer to home, lovely walks in the countryside..and camping in the back garden.
There are lots of trips booked ahead though, plus our 2 x cancelled holidays now re-booked for 2027.
Exciting times ahead, both home and away, forever grateful for every day, and every moment 🙏🏻

Not long until our next cruise with P&O Cruises so planning some outfits to take - does my bum look big in this??

I haven’t blogged properly in absolutely ages, however having just finished the most phenomenal ‘Sing Mamma Mia’ retreat in Zante, I’d thought I’d write a review and tell the world how brilliant it was. (link in comments below) ⬇️

The most terrifying and exhilarating experience of my life. Launched from the top of 170m high building across Dubai Marina. All to raise money for the charity CRY - Cardiac Risk in the Young.

I’ve never been a fan of going back to the same place for holidays, I know some people love it but for me personally I can’t imagine anything more boring than returning to the same place year after year, seeing the same people and eating at the same restaurants when there is so much of the world to see and experience. BUT…..given that I have the opportunity to accompany my husband on two business trips a year to Dubai, I’m prepared to make an exception to my own rule and now declare Dubai as a ‘bit’ of a second home.
Whilst I am constantly seeking out new things to do, today Cam & I returned to an old favourite ‘Miracle Garden’. We last went 3 yrs ago so not too much of a repeat, but definitely worth a second visit - and there are flowers and smurfs to what’s not to love??!!! 💕 💙🌺🌼🌹
It’s only open from September through to May as peak summer months here are basically too hot to do anything outside, but definitely worth a visit if you are here during those months.

Today we discovered something new in Dubai - The Green Planet, which is a fabulous indoor rainforest (well unlikely to be outdoors in the middle of the desert isn’t it! 😂). It’s not huge, but full of fabulous bird life, and we got up close and personal with the lemurs who just leap around and mingle with the public.
Then Simon came down to join us after his meeting and we found a gorgeous little Italian in Citywalk for lunch. It felt good to be eating al-fresco in January ☀️
Tonight Simon has gone out for a posh dinner on a private yacht with one of his clients, so Cam & I were going to be cheap skates and hit the food court in the Mall, but he fell asleep at 7.30pm so no dinner for us - just as well I’m on a diet 😂

Arrived in Dubai late last night, or rather very early this morning. Felt lucky to get here, despite the flight re-routing as many flight cancelled due to increasing tensions in Iran.
Our first ‘holiday’ of 2026, which is actually a work trip for Simon, but Cameron and I decided to jump on for a bit of winter sun (well it’s rude not to when someone else is paying for the accommodation!). At 14 Cam’s really too old to share with us now and always moans about having the put up bed in the corner of a hotel room, so we managed to find this fabulous 2 bedroom apartment on the Marina via AirBnB. It’s super spacious, 3 balconies all over looking the marina, and just a stones through away from lots of fabulous shops and restaurants.
With Simon working in Dubai twice a year, we have pretty much done all the main touristy things, so this week I intend to just stop, chill and relax.

This is just depressing 😢, thank goodness the 2026 season of Terri’s Travels starts tomorrow ☀️🌴

I love flying, I love cruising - but just for a little while I’m using a slightly rarer method of travel for me… ‘Shank’s Pony’. I’m walking the South Downs Way from Wi******er to Eastbourne to raise money for C.R.Y. Cardiac Risk in the Young . It’s chuffing cold, but the views are incredible and so far I’ve enjoyed every single step (despite not being able to feel my face or my fingers and having VERY achy calves 😩) A long stretch ahead tomorrow and I am currently 49% of my fund raising target, so if anyone has just a few pennies they could spare to help save lives via this incredible charity, then it will make the next stage of my walk tomorrow all worthwhile 🙏🏻. I’ll pop the link in the comments below ⬇️
