✈️ Two sets of clients safely checked in after long flights from the UK tonight… and two completely different adventures beginning! 🌍

🇺🇸 One arrival into Los Angeles, spending time with friends, exploring LA and taking some time to remember those who have passed along the way. ❤️

🇵🇪 And two friends have arrived in Lima ready to begin an incredible journey through Peru — with Machu Picchu and a proper trek waiting for them! 🥾⛰️

Next week changes completely again, with cruises 🚢 and family holidays ☀️ taking centre stage.

And behind the scenes, I’m currently helping plan everything from Las Vegas 🎰 and the Maldives 🏝️ to Japan 🇯🇵 and African safaris 🦁.

It really is one of the things I love most about being a Private Travel Consultant — no two days, clients or holidays are ever quite the same.

A huge thank you to everyone who has booked with me, recommended Blissful Getaways, shared a post, left a review or simply supported the business. It genuinely means a lot. 💙

And if you’ve got a holiday idea floating around in your head — whether it’s a weekend away or the trip of a lifetime — get in touch. I’d love to help turn it into something amazing.

Day 11 Fun Travel Fact and an appearance from Monty 👀

I had clients who went to the Ashes and inbetween matches went to stay and see the Great Barrier Reef over Christmas they throughly enjoyed the experience!

But did you know that Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is not one continuous reef. UNESCO records about 2,500 individual reefs and more than 900 islands across the world’s largest coral-reef ecosystem—plus roughly 1,500 fish species and 400 kinds of coral.

Do you want to visit?

Give me 30 seconds for a quick thank you and remind you to get in touch about your next holiday for that personable service and best value!



If you can watch and react it really helps get this to the right people so thank you.

🌏🚨 SYDNEY TO VANCOUVER — 68 NIGHTS!! 🇦🇺➡️🇨🇦 🚨

Yes… 68 nights on Oceania Cruises Oceania Riviera on an epic journey.

🥂 EXCLUSIVE ADDED VALUE — WITH OUR COMPLIMENTS

Book this voyage and I’ll include an upgrade to Oceania’s Prestige Select Beverage Package with our compliments. Which for this sailing is normally a cost of £4,352 per cabin!

That takes the onboard drinks experience considerably further, with the Prestige Select package including w**e by the glass, Ch*****ne, cocktails, beers and spirits across onboard venues and through room service. Oceania Cruises

🔥 That works out at around £702 per cabin per night — or £351pp per night — for 68 nights aboard Oceania Riviera. Including your food, drinks, room service, entertainment, cabin, and stopping at some amazing places which you can watch from your balcony!

Australia ➡️ Indonesia ➡️ Southeast Asia ➡️ Hong Kong ➡️ South Korea ➡️ Japan ➡️ Alaska ➡️ Canada.

This is one of those genuinely extraordinary journeys that would be very difficult to recreate any other way. 👀

And there’s already significant demand — every Inside, Ocean View and Suite category is currently waitlisted, with only selected Veranda and Concierge Levels remaining.

🚢 The Ship and Sailing
Ship: Oceania Riviera
Voyage: Epic Reefs to Icy Glaciers
Duration: 68 nights
Departure: Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺 — 7 March 2027
Arrival: Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 — 13 May 2027

And you don’t even sail away from Sydney immediately — you embark on 7 March and have until 5pm the following day before Riviera begins this incredible journey north.

🌍 The Journey

Just reading that itinerary gives you an idea of the scale of this trip. I have included the different maps and the detailed itinerary in the photos for you.

You start with the Great Barrier Reef and tropical Australia, continue through Indonesia and Southeast Asia, spend a huge amount of time exploring Japan, cross the Pacific and then finish with Alaska and Canada.

And those extended stays in places such as Bali, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kobe and Tokyo mean you’re not simply racing from one port to another either. Oceania Cruises

⏳ CURRENTLY WAITLISTED

👑 Owner’s Suite | ✨ Vista Suite | ✨ Oceania Suite

That tells you quite a lot about the demand for this particular voyage. If you are interested in a waitlist cabin please let me know.

✨ And Oceania includes quite a lot before you start adding extras…

Your World Included currently features:
✅ All speciality dining
✅ Shipboard gratuities
✅ Complimentary Wi-Fi

And when booking through me remember that:
🥂 WITH OUR COMPLIMENTS — upgrade to Oceania’s Prestige Select Beverage Package
So if you enjoy a cocktail before dinner, Ch*****ne, premium spirits, w**e or a drink while relaxing onboard, that’s another significant element of the holiday taken care of.

🎉 And this isn’t just a ship for sitting around…
Oceania Riviera is very different from one of the enormous resort-style cruise ships.

The focus is much more on food, destination immersion, space and relaxed luxury — which becomes particularly important when Riviera is going to be your home for more than two months.

And with a Veranda stateroom you have your own private teak veranda, 24-hour room service, Starlink Wi-Fi, luxury bath amenities and Oceania’s Tranquility Bed. Oceania Cruises

Move into Concierge Level and you also gain benefits including:
✨ Access to the private Concierge Lounge
✨ Priority speciality restaurant reservations
✨ Unlimited access to the Aquamar Spa Terrace
✨ Expanded room-service dining from The Grand Dining Room
✨ Up to three complimentary bags of laundry per stateroom
✨ Welcome bottle of Prosecco Oceania Cruises

And for a 68-night voyage, some of those Concierge benefits suddenly become rather useful!

🌎 AND WHY STOP AT THE CRUISE?

A journey like this deserves to be built properly from beginning to end.

You could:
🇦🇺 Spend several nights exploring Sydney before boarding
🏨 Add another part of Australia before the cruise
🇨🇦 Stay in Vancouver afterwards
🚂 Continue through the Canadian Rockies
🏔️ Add Banff or Jasper
🇺🇸 Extend into Seattle or elsewhere in North America

And wherever in the world you’re travelling from, I can help arrange the complete journey, including:
✈️ International and domestic flights
🏨 Pre and post-cruise hotels
🚘 Airport, hotel and cruise-port transfers
🌎 Stopovers and extensions
🎟️ Activities and experiences

For a journey spanning 68 nights and several regions of the world, having all those moving pieces coordinated properly can make a huge difference.

Day 10 Travel Fun Fact!

What if the landscape beneath your feet contained homes, churches and entire towns?

Cappadocia’s landscape hides much more than fairy chimneys.

UNESCO records rock-hewn churches, cave villages and entire underground towns, with traditional settlement beginning as early as the fourth century—turning soft volcanic rock into one of the world’s most remarkable human-made landscapes.

Day nine! Travel fun fact!

Pontcysyllte’s World Heritage canal runs for 18 kilometres across difficult Welsh terrain without a single lock.

Its soaring cast- and wrought-iron aqueduct, designed by Thomas Telford, turns a narrowboat trip into one of Britain’s boldest pieces of Industrial Revolution engineering.

I’m not sure I’d trust myself on this one 👀

Have you used airport parking, FastTrack, a lounge or airport Wi-Fi at one of these three airports? Then its is worth checking out the below.

Manchester Airports Group has confirmed a customer-data incident spanning Manchester Airport, London Stansted Airport and East Midlands Airport.

Manchester Airports Group (MAG) says an unauthorised third party obtained customer data connected with parking, lounge and FastTrack bookings and airport Wi-Fi registrations at Manchester, Stansted and East Midlands airports.

The accessed information includes email addresses, phone numbers, vehicle registrations and postcodes; MAG says the affected system did not hold bank or payment details.

MAG confirmed around 8.7 million customers were affected. MAG says affected customers have been contacted, all bookings remain valid, parking and airport operations are running normally, and online Manage My Booking access is temporarily suspended as a precaution.

Anyone who has used these airport services should be alert to unexpected emails, texts or calls.

❌Do not click an unsolicited link or share passwords or banking details. ❌

🔐 Go directly to the official airport website for updates.

This is a data-security issue, not a flight disruption, so passengers should continue to travel as planned unless their airline says otherwise.
