Wander with Annette, 3 Ringneill Road, Newtownards (2026)

07/10/2026

If you have been following my personal journey, you will know how special and close to my heart Lake Garda is.

I'm happy to bring you this incredible offer and at the same amazing price as some of the high street names.

🇮🇹✨ LAKE GARDA, THE DOLOMITES & ONE INCREDIBLE WEEK IN ITALY ✨🇮🇹

Some holidays are about switching off.
Others are about standing somewhere so beautiful that you simply stop, look around and think… wow.
And after my own time at Lake Garda, I completely understand why people return again and again. 💚

Imagine waking up beside the mountains and shimmering waters of Lake Garda, enjoying breakfast, then heading out to discover some of the most spectacular scenery in northern Italy.

🏔️ The magnificent Dolomites 💙 A full-day tour around Lake Garda 🇮🇹

Beautiful Riva del Garda ☕ Lakeside cafés and Italian piazzas 🍝 Long, lazy evenings over dinner 🚤 Pretty waterfront towns, mountain views and those unforgettable Italian sunsets
And the best bit?
Two full-day excursions are already included in your holiday.

🌄 LAKE GARDA, DOLOMITES & LAKE TOUR ✈️ 7 nights | May–September 2027 💷 From ONLY £1,299pp
Your holiday includes:
✈️ Return Jet2 flights from Belfast International to Verona
🧳 22kg checked baggage per person

✈️ Flight times: Belfast → Verona 08:50 / 12:30 Verona → Belfast 13:20 / 15:05

💚 Why I love this one…
Lake Garda isn't somewhere I'd describe as simply "a holiday destination."
There's something about it.
The mountains. The water. The little towns. Sitting with a coffee watching the world go by. And that wonderful Italian way of making you forget what time it is.
Lake Garda stole a little piece of my heart this year — and I already know I'll go back.
So when I see an itinerary combining Lake Garda with the Dolomites, flights from Belfast, luggage, transfers AND two full-day tours…
I think this is rather special. 🇮🇹❤️

Famous for its long coastline and stylish Italian beach culture — perfect for combining relaxation with sightseeing.

🗼 Pisa
You can't come this close without getting that obligatory photo pretending to hold up the Leaning Tower! 😄

Renaissance art, magnificent architecture, the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio and enough history to fill several holidays.

🌿 Lucca
One of my favourites for a gentler day out — beautiful old walls, pretty piazzas, cafés and those gorgeous little Italian streets made for wandering.

🇲🇽✨ ANNETTE RECOMMENDS… MEXICO FOR EASTER 2027! ✨🇲🇽
Now this is my idea of swapping Easter eggs for something considerably more exciting… white sands, Caribbean sunshine and a 5⭐ adults-only escape in beautiful Riviera Maya. 🌴☀️🍹
And with DIRECT flights from Dublin, this one definitely caught my eye!
🐥 EASTER 2027
✈️ 23rd March 2027 | 7 nights
💰 From ONLY £2,199 per person
✨ Deposit just £100 per person
🏨 5⭐ Platinum Yucatan Princess – Adults Only
📍 Riviera Maya, Mexico
🍹 All Inclusive
🌴 WHAT'S INCLUDED?
✈️ Direct return flights from Dublin to Cancun
🧳 23kg checked luggage per person
🏨 7 nights at the 5⭐ Platinum Yucatan Princess
🍹 All Inclusive
🚘 Return private transfers
✔️ Airport taxes & security charges
✈️ Flight Times
Dublin → Cancun: 13:30 / 19:20
Cancun → Dublin: 20:20 / 11:35
🇲🇽 AND DON'T JUST STAY BESIDE THE POOL…
Riviera Maya has so much to explore.
🏛️ Chichén Itzá – one of Mexico's most famous Mayan archaeological sites and a fabulous full-day excursion.
🌊 Cenotes – these incredible natural freshwater pools are dotted throughout the Yucatán. Some are open to the sky, others hidden inside caves.
🐢 Akumal – famous for its beautiful bay and marine life.
🏖️ Tulum – ancient Mayan ruins sitting dramatically above that gorgeous turquoise Caribbean Sea.
🎨 Playa del Carmen – perfect for an afternoon or evening wandering along Fifth Avenue, with shops, restaurants, bars and plenty of people-watching!
🌿 Xcaret – a fantastic eco-archaeological park combining Mexican culture, wildlife, underground rivers and entertainment.
☕ WHAT ABOUT SPENDING MONEY?
You're All Inclusive, so you certainly don't need to spend a fortune. But if you venture out, as a rough guide you might expect:
☕ Coffee: around £2–£4
🥤 Soft drink: around £1.50–£3
🍺 Local b**r: around £2–£4
🌮 Street tacos: often around £1–£2 each
🍽️ Casual restaurant meal: roughly £8–£15 per person
Prices naturally vary between local areas and the more touristy spots, but Mexico can still be surprisingly reasonable once you step away from the resort areas.

All Inclusive ✔️
Private transfers ✔️
Direct flights from Dublin ✔️
And the Caribbean Sea waiting at the other end! ✔️🌊
Perfect for couples, friends or anyone who thinks Easter would be considerably improved by swapping a chocolate egg for a cocktail beside a Mexican pool. 🍹😎

✈️ A Little Note From Me 💛

Sometimes life has a way of changing the itinerary when we least expect it.

I've had a rather unexpected change of scenery this week and, instead of planning escapes from my usual surroundings, I'm currently spending a little time in hospital while the doctors carry out some investigations.

But I wanted to pop on with one important message for everyone who has a holiday booked with me:
I'm still here for you. ❤️

Your bookings remain safely looked after, and if you have a question, need help with something or simply want reassurance about your forthcoming holiday, please don't hesitate to get in touch in the usual way.

I may occasionally take a little longer than normal to reply while appointments and tests are taking place, but your messages haven't disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle! I'll respond as soon as I'm able.

For anyone currently thinking about a holiday, I'm still very happy to hear from you too. Travel has always been about giving people something wonderful to look forward to — and I think that's rather important in life.

For the moment, I'm following doctor's orders, taking each day as it comes and continuing to do what I can from my rather temporary new office. ☕📱✈️

Thank you for your patience, your kindness and, most importantly, for continuing to trust me with your holidays.

The world is still waiting to be explored — and I'm still here helping you get there. 🌍💛

🇫🇷✨ LOURDES, FRANCE – A JOURNEY THROUGH HISTORY & FAITH ✨🇫🇷

✈️ 5th October 2026 | 4 nights
👀 Pay to Travel Partner – ONLY £499 per person! ‼️
🏨 Pay to hotel on arrival – £9 per person
👉 Total price – £508 per person

Some places you visit for the scenery.
Some for the history.
And then there are places like Lourdes, where the stories of generations seem to be woven into the streets. ❤️

Nestled at the foot of the Pyrenees in southwest France, Lourdes was once a relatively quiet market town. That changed forever in 1858, when 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous reported a series of apparitions of the Virgin Mary at the Grotto of Massabielle.

The events transformed Lourdes into one of the world's most famous Christian pilgrimage sites. Today, millions of visitors travel here from around the world — some through faith, some seeking comfort or reflection, and others simply fascinated by its extraordinary history.

⛪ Visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes and the famous Grotto.
🕯️ Experience the beautiful evening candlelight processions — one of the most memorable sights in Lourdes.
🏰 Step even further back in time at the Château Fort de Lourdes, the ancient fortress overlooking the town, whose origins stretch back many centuries.
🏔️ And beyond its religious heritage, Lourdes sits amid the magnificent scenery of the Pyrenees, making it an interesting destination even for those who aren't travelling for religious reasons.

🇫🇷 YOUR SHORT BREAK INCLUDES
✔️ Return flights from Dublin to Lourdes
✔️ Airport taxes & security charges
✔️ 4 nights at the 3★ Best Western Beauséjour
✔️ Room Only
✔️ 1 small + 1 large cabin bag
✔️ Reserved seat
💷 ONLY £499 per person
🏨 £9 per person payable locally
👉 Total £508 per person

‼️ FULL PAYMENT REQUIRED

✈️ FLIGHT TIMES
Dublin → Lourdes: 06:35 / 09:45
Lourdes → Dublin: 14:20 / 15:30

Whether you travel for faith, history, reflection or simply curiosity, Lourdes is one of those places that has a story to tell. 🇫🇷🕯️

🌿✈️ WANDER WITH ANNETTE

Wines, Castles & Timeless Tales…

There are holidays where you rush from one place to another, ticking sights off a list.

And then there are holidays where the scenery simply comes to you. ❤️

Imagine waking in the morning, pulling back the curtains and finding a German castle perched high above the river. By lunchtime, you're wandering through a cobbled little town, and by evening you're back on board, perhaps with a glass of w**e in hand, watching vineyards and villages drift quietly past.
That, for me, is the magic of a river cruise. 🌊

This particular journey aboard VIVA TIARA follows some of the loveliest stretches of the Rhine and Moselle, sailing from Düsseldorf through places including Coblenz, Bernkastel, Trier, Cochem and Rüdesheim.
And these aren't just names on an itinerary.

🍇 Bernkastel is the Germany of picture postcards — half-timbered houses, little squares and vineyards climbing the hillsides.
🏰 Cochem sits beneath its magnificent hilltop castle, with colourful buildings gathered along the Moselle below.
🍷 Rüdesheim is made for wandering — w**e taverns, narrow lanes and the famous Drosselgasse.
And then there is the Loreley Passage…
One of those occasions when I think I'd simply find a comfortable seat, order a drink and watch the world go by. No sightseeing timetable. No rushing for a coach.
Just the river, castles, vineyards and centuries of history passing your window.

The sailing departs 3rd May 2027 for 7 nights, with flights from Dublin included, and prices start from £1,899 per person.
It certainly isn't the cheapest way to see Europe.
But sometimes value isn't about finding the lowest price.
It's about how much of the world you get to experience along the way.
And waking up somewhere new without having packed a suitcase again sounds rather wonderful to me. ❤️

Could you see yourself enjoying a river cruise — or would seven days without a beach have you climbing the walls? 😂
