You will never be this age again. Neither will they.

This October my daughter turned 25. We’ve always celebrated our birthdays together, and this year I didn’t want cake and a card. I wanted somewhere that would take our breath away.

It almost didn’t happen. There was always a reason to wait: work, money, the “right” time, next year when things calm down.

Things never calm down. You just get older while you wait.

So we went. Glassy lakes in the Dolomites, fresh air, great food and spa evenings. Cable cars swinging over meadows full of cows with bells on. Getting lost in Verona’s little streets. Standing on the Rialto with the Grand Canal below us, laughing at nothing.

None of it was perfect, and all of it was ours.

Twenty-five years ago I held her for the first time. This year we stood side by side in the mountains. That is the gift I’ll keep.

The older I get, the less I care about what looks impressive and the more I care about how a moment felt. These are the days I’ll remember when I’ve forgotten every email I was worrying about.

If there’s a trip you keep postponing, with your mum, your daughter, your best friend, or just yourself, this is your sign.

Don’t wait until you feel ready. Book the trip and go.

Lago di Braies, the lake everyone’s seen on their feed. Here’s how to actually enjoy it ⬇️
📍 Dolomites, South Tyrol, Italy
✨ Go early. Arrive by sunrise. By 10am the famous boathouse jetty is shoulder to shoulder.
✨ Walk the full loop. It’s about an hour, mostly flat and buggy-friendly on one side. The back of the lake is where the crowds disappear.
✨ Visit in autumn. We went in October: golden larches, cooler air, a fraction of the summer crowds.
✨ Check access before you go. In peak summer, driving in needs a pre-booked slot. Off-season is simpler, but parking is still paid.
✨ Rowboats are seasonal. Check they’re still running if that’s your must-have photo.

✅ Who it’s for: families, easy walkers, photographers, anyone combining it with a wider Dolomites trip
⛔ Who should skip it: anyone wanting a quiet, untouched lake in July and August, when it’s beautiful but busy

A mother-daughter trip I’ll be talking about for a long time 🤍

It’s a good deal. I’d book it. But here’s what I’d tell a client first.

1. The real starting price is £1,179, not £1,049.
There’s £130 per person to pay at the hotel. That’s resort fees - Excalibur charges around $45–50 a night, and the Hollywood hotel adds its own. It isn’t optional and it isn’t a surprise charge, it’s just how American hotels price. The small print also says it can go up, so treat £130 as the floor.

2. There are no transfers. At either end.
Las Vegas airport to the Strip is quick and cheap, about $25. LAX to Hollywood is the one that catches people- $60–80, and up to 90 minutes in traffic. Rideshare pickup at LAX also runs through a separate shuttle terminal, which is a rough first hour in America if you weren’t expecting it. Budget around £120 per person across the week.

3. ESTA is $40.27 each now.
It nearly doubled in late 2025. About £30 per person, and children pay the same — there's no family rate. Apply on the official government site only.

4. Both hotels are room only.
You’re in two of the most expensive food cities in the US. Realistically £500 per person for the week if you’re eating properly. Vegas buffets aren’t the bargain they used to be.

5. The split is 4 nights Vegas, 3 nights LA / and I’d flip it.
Most people find Vegas is done in three. LA needs more, because everything is 45 minutes from everything else, and the internal flight eats half a day. You’re left with about two and a half days for Santa Monica, Hollywood, Griffith and Universal. That’s tight.

6. the 6th one is the one I’d think hardest about, find it in the comments.

So what does it actually cost?
Around £2,200–2,400 per person, all in, with a Vegas show and a day at Universal.

And I’d still book it. California at Easter for that is a good holiday. You just want to know the real figure before you go, not at the check-in desk.

Who it’s for: couples or friends who’ve budgeted properly and want Vegas done right.
Who should skip: anyone whose budget stops at £1,179, anyone expecting beach weather (it’s 20°C with a 15°C sea in early April), and Scottish families- your Easter break falls after these dates.
