🎃👻 WOULD YOU DARE STAY HERE?

A little Halloween travel question for you!

Would you spend the night in a supposedly haunted hotel or castle? 🏰

I love exploring historic places, but I’m not entirely sure how I’d feel about hearing strange noises in the middle of the night! 😂🙈

Would you be:

👻 A — Absolutely! I’d love it!

😱 B — Not a chance!

😂 C — Only if someone was staying with me!

Let me know in the comments!

Happy Halloween! 🎃

✈️🇮🇸 A LITTLE TRAVEL PLANNING TIP YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF! 💙

I’ve spent some time today putting together a little 3-night trip to Reykjavik with my daughter for November, and we’re both really excited! 😍

We’ve been looking at how to make the most of our time there, fitting in some sightseeing and hopefully even seeing the Northern Lights! 🤞✨

But here’s something you might not have thought of when booking a short break…

You don’t always have to fly out of and back into the same airport! ✈️

For our trip, we’re flying out of Liverpool and back into Manchester.

Why? Because the flight times and prices worked better for us, allowing us to make the most of our three nights away without paying more than we needed to.

We’re lucky that we can get dropped off and picked up, so it works perfectly for us. Obviously, it wouldn’t be quite so convenient if we needed to leave a car at the airport!

It’s something I always think is worth checking when putting together a holiday, especially a short break where every hour counts.

Sometimes a little flexibility can make a big difference! 💙

Have you ever flown out of one airport and returned to another? Or is it something you’d never thought of doing? 🤔

✈️💙 TRAVEL TIP WEDNESDAY — DON’T JUST LOOK AT THE CHEAPEST FLIGHT!

When you’re booking a holiday, it’s tempting to go straight for the cheapest departure airport.

But the cheapest flight doesn’t always mean the cheapest holiday! 🙈

A flight from London might look like a bargain compared with Manchester or Leeds Bradford, but have you factored in:

🚗 Fuel or train tickets to get there?

🅿️ Airport parking?

🏨 An overnight hotel if the flight is particularly early?

⏰ The extra travelling time?

Sometimes paying a little more to fly from somewhere closer to home works out better overall — and makes the journey much easier!

Of course, sometimes travelling a little further is absolutely worth it, especially for a long-haul adventure.

It’s all about comparing the whole journey, not just the flight price.

Which airport do you usually prefer flying from? ✈️

🔎🇸🇮 HELEN’S HIDDEN FINDS — PIRAN, SLOVENIA

Now here’s somewhere that looks like it belongs on the Italian coast… but it’s actually in Slovenia! 😍

Meet Piran, a gorgeous little town sitting on the Adriatic Sea, full of narrow cobbled streets, colourful buildings and Mediterranean charm.

🇸🇮 Think pretty little squares, waterfront cafés, Venetian-style architecture and lovely views across the sea.

You can wander around the old town, explore Tartini Square, climb up towards St George’s Church for spectacular views or just enjoy a leisurely lunch by the water. 🍷

It’s exactly the sort of place I love finding — somewhere a little different that you might never have thought to visit.

And this one is particularly exciting for me because I’ve just finished planning our next running adventure! 🏃‍♀️

We’re heading to Trieste for another half marathon next spring, followed by some exploring in Slovenia, and Piran is on my list for a day trip!

I can’t wait to see whether it’s as beautiful in person as it looks in the photographs.

Had you heard of Piran before? Would you add it to your travel wish list?

✈️💙 BACK HOME AND STRAIGHT BACK TO HOLIDAY PLANNING!

Well, I had every intention of getting some posts sorted yesterday… but I ended up making two holiday bookings instead! 😂

Not complaining though — helping people get their holidays booked is definitely one of my favourite parts of the job!

After our lovely week exploring Naples, Sorrento and Positano, it’s been straight back into finding and planning more adventures.

And after all that Italian pizza, pasta and limoncello, I think I might need another holiday myself! 🍕🍹😂

I’ve got some more lovely destinations and holiday ideas to share this week, but in the meantime…

Is anyone already thinking about their 2027 holidays, or are you leaving the planning until after Christmas? ✈️☀️

🇮🇹🍕 IS NAPLES WORTH VISITING? HERE’S WHAT WE THOUGHT…

After spending several days exploring Naples, our verdict is a definite YES! 💙

But it’s a city of contrasts, and I think the secret is finding the parts that suit you.

Yes, Naples is noisy, busy and chaotic! 😂 But that’s part of its charm.

❤️ What we loved:

🏘️ Getting lost in the tiny alleyways of the Quartieri Spagnoli and Centro Storico, full of cafés, restaurants and everyday Neapolitan life.

🏰 Taking the funicular up to Vomero for spectacular views over the city — our favourite part!

⛪ Finding moments of calm in the beautiful Duomo and peaceful cloisters.

⚽ Seeing the famous Maradona murals.

🌊 Discovering the lovely seafront during the Naples Half Marathon.

🍕 And the FOOD! Delicious pizza, gnocchi alla Sorrentina, morning pastries and a newly discovered love of Hugo Spritz… although you still can’t beat a cold Peroni! 😂🍺

We also explored Naples Underground, which was interesting, although not one of our highlights.

🚶 Getting around? Surprisingly easy! We walked almost everywhere, used the funicular for Vomero and found the airport Alibus really straightforward.

Would we recommend Naples? Absolutely!

If you love history, food, lively streets and exploring beyond the obvious tourist spots, there’s so much to discover.

If you prefer somewhere peaceful and polished, it might not be for you.

For us, the magic was finding hidden moments of beauty and calm amongst the chaos. 💙

🇮🇹 Have you been to Naples? What did you think?
