Hawaii… but make it effortless.

One day you’re exploring volcanoes, the next you’re sailing past the Nā Pali Coast with a cocktail in hand… and somehow your suitcase hasn’t moved.

Island-hopping, no repacking, sunsets on deck, and waking up somewhere new almost every day onboard Pride of America.

I’ve got a fun little group already forming for this sailing, and it’s shaping up to be a very good time.

A handful of cabins are still available…

So tell me… are you coming for the beaches, the adventures, or the cocktails?

Snow much to smile about at the Top of Europe!

Janette & Brian just got home from an epic European adventure which they titled "Swooning through Scandinavia & Switzerland", including a trip to Jungfraujoch! 🤩

A last-minute flight reroute was needed before they left home, but we navigated it smoothly and they didn’t miss any of their travel plans, exactly how it should be!

Thank you again for trusting me with another one of your amazing adventures!!
I’m so glad to hear it was everything you hoped for and more.

These are the moments that make it all worth it.

Nothing makes me happier than hearing my clients had an incredible trip, exactly as it should be. I loved helping bring this one together, and feedback like this is why I do what I do!

“Dear Amy,
Firstly I want to say thank you so much for your hard work in organising our holiday. We had such a great time and everything was on a professional level.

The hotels were amazing, and the drivers were always on time, waiting for us at the airport, taking us back, and driving us around for our touring. The tours you booked for us were amazing too, and our guides were very, very nice and so helpful.

I can’t wait to book my next holiday with you, and if anyone asks, I will always recommend you. Thank you so much for your help, I couldn’t have done it better.”

🌴 LABUAN BAJO 🌴

After overnighting at Hilton Garden Bali nearby the Denpasar Airport, due to flights that wouldn’t connect for us.

We arrived to an Indonesian Paradise!
From Denpasar it was only a short flight to Labuan Bajo and then we were only 10minutes away from - a truly stunning resort that’s built into the landscape so you arrive at the lobby which is at the top of the resort and then the 10 stories of Rooms, restaurants, spa & pool areas are all below you

We pre-booked a private day of exploring nearby islands and entrance to the Komodo National Park with .boat
This gave us a speedboat to ourselves and the leisure to take more or less time in the designated stops along the way…
Beni and his crew were honestly FANTASTIC!!!
We hiked the 800 steps to the top of Padar Island - views were so well worth the aching claves and ankles that I have today haha!
Made stops at one of the stunning Pink Beaches and then visited the much anticipated Komodo Dragons at the National Park
These guys a so scary! They really look quite pre-historic, (check out the video our guide Beni got for us!)
Then we had several snorkel stops, (snorkeled by some massive turtles and so many gorgeous fish and beautiful coral)
We were super lucky to cruise past a giant pod of Dolphins as well - again, the luxury of a private tour here was worth it because we were able to just do slow circles around and really enjoy seeing these beautiful dolphins at play 😍🐬
Absolute smashing 10/10 day!

Today, we’re enjoying the resort, jumping off the jetty into the sea and plenty of pool time!
As my girls would say “this is the life”

If you’ve been to Bali but never any further into Indonesia than that, I’d really love to help you see more of this gorgeous country - this area rarely has Australian visitors and honestly, you’re missing out on some truly wonderful experiences!

Imagine waking up somewhere new in Hawaii almost every morning… without repacking your suitcase once.

One day you’re exploring the dramatic landscapes of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, The next you’re sailing past the jaw-dropping cliffs of the Nā Pali Coast on Kauai. 🌋

This is life on board the beautiful Pride of America where the hardest decision of the day might be:
Poolside cocktail and a book, or sunset dinner at Cagney's Steakhouse?
Maybe after a 'hard day at sea' you might need a glass (or two) in the Napa Wine Bar 😏

And tomorrow? A brand new island!

So tell me… which typed of cruiser are you?
• Pool + book + cocktail
• First one off the ship exploring waterfalls
• Trying every restaurant onboard
• Sunset on deck with a wine
(Or… a little bit of all four?)

I’m putting together a special group sailing on this incredible Hawaii itinerary departing 7 August 2027.
(Hint: plenty of time for you to plan ahead!)

Seven nights. Four islands. One unpack.
If island-hopping Hawaii like this sounds like your kind of adventure… you might want to come with us?!

You know how to reach me😉

Such a great day doing what I love most… talking all things travel.

Today, and I had the pleasure of hosting our first expo in a lifestyle village, and honestly, we’re feeling incredibly grateful.
The turnout from our amazing supplier partners was fantastic, and the support from everyone who came along to sit in on the presentations made the whole day even more special.

There’s something pretty special about being in a room full of people who are dreaming, planning, and getting excited about their next trip…

A huge thank you to all of our supplier reps for showing up, sharing your knowledge, and backing us, we truly couldn’t do this without you.
To our family members who turned up to help move tables and help register our guests! (We love you!)

I may (definitely) have come home with a very healthy stack of spare brochures from most of our incredible travel partners…
So if you’re feeling a little inspired and would love some ideas for your next getaway, let me know. I’m more than happy to pop a few in the post or drop some by and help you start dreaming.

Because really… there’s no such thing as too much travel inspiration!

Need a cheeky last-minute getaway before the Easter rush?

There’s still time to sneak away on a South Pacific cruise departing 28 March, perfectly timed just before Victorian school holidays begin.

If you’ve ever been tempted to take the kids out of school a couple of days early and start the break somewhere tropical… this might be your moment.

A week at sea, island stops, no cooking, no school lunches, and plenty of sunshine.

Inside cabins currently start from $764 per person based on a quad share.

It’s a close departure, so availability will change quickly and full payment will be required to confirm a reservation. If a spontaneous escape sounds like your kind of fun, send me a message and I’ll check what’s still available.

You may have seen some of the recent headlines suggesting that “no one will be travelling for the next five months.”

Let’s add a little perspective.

Sensational headlines make for good clickbait, but they don’t reflect what is actually happening across the travel industry right now. Travel is still happening every single day. Flights are still operating, cruises are still sailing, and people are still heading off on the holidays they have been planning for months, sometimes years.

Yes, the current situation affecting parts of Middle East airspace is causing some disruption to global flight routes. Airlines are adjusting schedules and in some cases travellers may need to take a slightly longer route or allow a bit of extra flexibility.
But disruption does not mean travel has suddenly stopped.

In fact, the Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) has addressed these headlines directly, encouraging travellers not to cancel their trips without first seeking professional advice. You can read their comments here:
https://newshub.medianet.com.au/2026/03/talent-pitch-atia-ceo-pushes-back-on-cancel-your-europe-trip-headlines/142631/

A real example from my own desk this morning:
I have clients departing in mid-March whose flights were originally scheduled to travel through the Middle East. Rather than cancelling their long-planned trip, we’ve rerouted them via Asia.

Is it a disruption? Yes.
Are they a little out of pocket with the change? Yes.
Is that still far better than cancelling a trip they’ve been looking forward to for many months and potentially forfeiting significant costs? Absolutely.

This is exactly where having a travel advisor matters. When things shift, we adapt. We reroute, we find solutions, and we keep your trip moving forward.

Travel isn’t stopping. Sometimes it just needs a little adjustment!

05 March 2026: Reports suggesting Australians should cancel travel plans for the next six months are simply wrong. Etihad and Emirates are flying today. Asian carriers - Singapore Airlines, multiple Chinese carriers - are operating normally and providing reliable alternative routings to Europe. Yes...
