Thinking about Disneyland Paris for Halloween? 🎃

I have just been working on a magical October 2027 trip for a lovely repeat client:
4 nights, 6 adults, Eurostar travel, 3 days in the Disney Parks and a stylish partner hotel just 10 minutes from the magic with free shuttle and breakfast included.

Disneyland Paris goes all‑out for Halloween, with spooky decorations, special shows and that incredible autumn atmosphere running from late September right through to early November. You can soak up all the Halloween fun without getting caught in the busiest half‑term dates, or choose to be there on 31 October itself for the extra late opening and night-time entertainment.

If you are dreaming of…
A Halloween break that suits grown‑ups as much as kids
Travelling by train instead of flying
Combining Disney days with a little Paris sightseeing

…I can tailor everything around your dates, budget and travel preferences, from the right hotel and park tickets to step‑by‑step train guidance.

Message me if you would like me to create your own Halloween 2027 Disneyland Paris escape.

After a year of new grandchildren, injuries and general life chaos, my lovely repeat clients decided it was time to press pause and book themselves a proper escape: 7 nights all‑inclusive in adults‑only Marmaris next September.

They’ll be flying from Southend, with private transfers straight to their hotel, settling into a relaxed adults‑only property with great food, evening entertainment, a hammam, sauna and even the option to take a day trip to Ephesus so he can finally tick it off his wish list. All they need to do now is count down the days.

If you’d love something similar for next year – easy flights, private transfers and an all‑inclusive stay where everything is taken care of – I’d be delighted to help you plan it around your own dates and budget.

Booked & buzzing for my lovely client: a “cruise on land” winter escape that’s exactly what she was dreaming of.

She’s heading to Gran Canaria in early December, flying from Southend, and staying in an upgraded Deluxe Junior Suite in the Royal Level at Barceló Margaritas on All Inclusive. Think adults‑focused atmosphere, pools and bars on site, and plenty going on so she never feels like she’s just sat in a room on her own.

By day, she’ll have time to explore Playa del Inglés and the island, plus two “port‑day” style excursions:

A dolphin & whale watching cruise off the south coast
A full‑day inland tour through mountain villages, viewpoints and valleys
By night, she’ll come back to dinner, drinks and a relaxed, sociable resort vibe: the closest thing we could find to the feel of a Virgin Voyages cruise, but on land and within her budget.

If you’d love something similar – adults‑only or adult‑leaning, mostly paid for before you go, and with things to do in the day so you’re not bored – I’d be happy to design your own “land cruise” too.

Just booked: an early‑December escape to Costa Rica for returning clients who fell in love with Japan and wanted their next big adventure.

Their trip includes:

Time in Arenal for volcano views, hot springs and rainforest walks
An adults‑only all‑inclusive stay on the Pacific coast to truly switch off
A relaxed finish in San José, with private transfers joining it all together
We’ve timed it for the start of the dry season to give them the best chance of warm, sunny days and lush green scenery.

Thinking about a long‑haul adventure for 2027 and not sure where to start? Get in touch and I’ll design something completely tailored around you.

Just said “yes” and dreaming of a once‑in‑a‑lifetime honeymoon?

Think sunrise swims in Noosa, backstage at the Sydney Opera House, wild coastlines in Tasmania, whale and dolphin watching off Auckland, soaking in hot pools by Lake Taupo and sipping world‑class w**es in Hawke’s Bay and Wellington… all stitched together into one seamless journey, flying in and out of Brisbane.

That’s exactly the kind of three‑week Australia and New Zealand adventure I’ve just created for a newlywed couple: beaches, wildlife, food, w**e and just the right amount of exploring, without it ever feeling rushed.

If you’d love a tailor‑made honeymoon that matches your dates, budget and bucket‑list wishes, I can design the route, handpick the hotels and build in those “wow” experiences you’ll remember forever.

What a journey this one has been… and I’ve loved every minute of it.

From the first idea of a mega‑ship Med cruise for three families, through spreadsheets, cruise committees and countless itineraries, to finally pinning down the perfect all‑inclusive waterpark hotel in Zante… this has been a brilliant example of how a big multi‑family holiday actually comes together.

After exploring:

Mediterranean cruises with different lines and cabin combinations
Greek Islands and Cyprus itineraries by sea
A whole shortlist of all‑inclusive resorts with waterparks, beaches and nearby nightlife
…we’ve now confirmed Aqua Deluxe in Tsilivi, Zante for three families, travelling together but each on their ideal duration, with:

Two rooms per family so adults and teens have their own space
All‑inclusive dining and drinks
Waterpark fun on the doorstep
A short walk to the beach and Tsilivi’s bars and restaurants
Flights with luggage and seats together included
It has taken time, tweaks and a lot of “committee” discussions, but the end result is a summer holiday that genuinely works for everyone: parents, older teens and the budget.

If you’re thinking about a big family or multi‑family trip for 2026 or 2027 and don’t know where to start, I can help you explore the options, sense‑check the prices and pull it all together so that when you do book, you know it’s the right one.

Escape to adults-only Mexico in 2027 🌴

If lazy rivers, cocktail in hand and powder-soft Caribbean sands sound like your kind of winter, now is the perfect time to start planning.

I’m currently working on some gorgeous adults-only, all inclusive options around Cancun for 2027: think private transfers, premium resorts, great dining, and the freedom to enjoy the whole resort without restrictions.

Whether you’re dreaming of peaceful pool days, spa time for two or a touch of evening buzz, I can tailor everything around you: flights, room type, budget and the exact vibe you’re after.

If you’d love a grown-up escape to look forward to next January or February, message me and I’ll start putting ideas together just for you.

So excited for my lovely clients heading off soon for an unforgettable Florida & New York adventure. Sunshine, theme parks, skyline views and Knicks basketball at Madison Square Garden all lined up, with flights, stays, transfers and car hire all taken care of so they can simply enjoy every moment.

If you’d like a tailor-made USA trip planned around your family, your dates and your wish list, I’d love to help you create it.

Escape the grey this New Year and wake up to winter sun, waterfront views and world‑class theme parks on your doorstep… in Abu Dhabi.

I’m currently putting together a fantastic New Year 2026/27 option staying at the stylish Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island, in a family suite on all‑inclusive. Think:
• Waterfront setting on Yas Bay
• Palm‑fringed pool and kids’ splash area
• Gourmet dining and a relaxed, modern vibe
• Yas Theme Parks access included: Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi & Warner Bros. World

With direct Etihad flights from Heathrow and private transfers included, it’s a brilliant choice for families who want warmth, fun and minimal faff at a busy time of year.

If you’d like to know more or compare it with Tenerife & Siam Park, Paris & Disneyland, Barcelona & PortAventura or even Lapland, just get in touch and I’ll talk you through the options.

Thinking about escaping the UK winter next New Year?

I’ve just put together a gorgeous Thailand island‑hopping itinerary for a returning client: flying into Krabi and home from Phuket, with time to really explore rather than rush.

✨ 6 nights in Krabi: long-tail boats, limestone cliffs, jungle pools and hot springs
✨ 4 nights on Phi Phi: iconic bays, snorkelling in turquoise water, dramatic sunsets
✨ 7 nights in Phuket: sea‑view rooms, culture and city highlights, plus time to simply relax

Private transfers, ferries, handpicked hotels with breakfast, ethical elephant experience, island boat trips and carefully spaced excursions: all woven together into one seamless trip.

If you’d love something similar, tailored around your dates, budget and travel style, I can design a bespoke Thailand New Year escape just for you.

Message me to start planning your own island‑hopping adventure.
