Hola Travellers

Anzac Day holds a special place in our hearts, and today we want acknowledge the countless sacrifices of those who served and those we’ve lost, past and present.

Poem ‘For The Fallen’
• Laurence Binyon • 1914

Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
There is music in the midst of desolation,
And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning.

We will remember them

🌹

Hola Travellers!

It’s been a little while since we’ve been able to connect in with you again - we hope you’re all healthy and happy and well travelled! ✈️

Reason for the limited socials? 🌊 🌀 🌊 💨 !

In the last few months I’ve been working with the QLD Government to provide frontline and immediate assistance across Far North Queensland, South East QLD and now Western Queensland who have been severely impacted by our recent run of unprecedented weather events.

This has been an incredibly purposeful experience for me; to engage with my local community members to get back on their feet and know the importance of these efforts on both short and long term recovery.

The resilience and generativity shown from the communities has been nothing short of phenomenal and a true testament to the spirit of Queenslanders 💪

But we wanted to shout out a ‘Hola’ to all of our beautiful travellers, and say we are ready to talk to you about your amazing travel plans once more!

Thank you to all our wonderful clients during this time who’ve been patient and flexible so we could accommodate not only their travel needs but the needs of our QLD Communities 🫶🏼

Elle is now off on some exciting adventures for the next 2 weeks across:

📍 ARLES
📍 REIMS
📍 PARIS
📍 DISNEYLAND
📍 ABU DHABI

We will absolutely be sharing a lot of destination content across France and the UAE via Instagram and Facebook so feel free to follow along the culinary and whimsical adventures that await us from tomorrow!

We can’t wait to speak to you about your next incredible adventure:

Hola Travellers

Welcome to ‘24 - Hope there’s already some Wonder about!

Speaking of Wonder - that’s the Disney Cruise ship that’s been making it’s way around AUS/NZ waters (and likely your instagram feed) for the last 2 months

We were lucky enough to sail on a quick 2 night itinerary in Nov 2023 Melbourne - Sydney and wanted to share some quick snaps and info with you

📍 DISNEY WONDER
🗓️ Nov 2023
🛖 Verandah Stateroom

✨The Disney Navigator App is best to manage everything for activity reservations / view schedule prior to boarding. Prebooking generally opens 45-60 days prior

✨ Boarding has luggage drop off on day. Just need the luggage tags attached - Easy to drop bags & go for a cheeky bev!

✨ If you are travelling with kids – they require either a Passport, Government Issued Photo ID or Government issued Birth Certificate as valid form of ID to Check in.

✨ Rotational dining. Managed via Disney Cruise App and you can see the allocations. I really liked that they actually keep your same servers / waiters as you change restaurants they follow you. So Charlie knew to get me a Margarita or Rosé when I swanned in 🫡

✨ 2 Bottles of wine or a 6 pack of beer per adult can be carried on 💃🏻

✨ Line ups for Character photos are very long. Go 30 mins prior to opening time and that seems to be easiest way to wait the least. NO real ‘roaming’ characters on ship so this is really one of only Ops to get a character photo

✨ Food is of a good standard - even buffet has some elevated options (Caprese/Zucchini and truffle Mac n cheese) and seafood. For a treat, pre-book yourself into PALO (Adult fine dining) prior through your app

✨ Not JUST for kids - photo above is from a cocktail making class we did which was Muchas divertidas (Spanish led Cocktail master 🍹) - Approx $60 per person and many many spirits were kept high 🙈

✨ Shows are sensational on board and a MUST SEE!

🪭 If you’d like to know more or can see yourself Setting Sail with Snow White - get in touch. Sailings are Jan- Mar 2024 and then recommence Oct 2024 into early 2025

However if you do have some spare dollarydoos lying around Post Black Friday Sales and Pre-Christmas (again - the struggle is real!!)
