Happy Saturday everyone..

As Black Friday is on the horizon and, like you, my inbox and screen are full of “deals” right now, I wanted to put a post on the subject!

Many of our trusted travel partners do have some fantastic promotions, but I am building my business on something more important than a headline price, for me it’s finding the right holiday for you.

That starts with a proper conversation, understanding what matters most to you and your family, and then matching you with the right destination, hotel and experience.

Sometimes the very cheapest option is not the best value once you factor in things like time of year (weather), flight times, location, room type, transfers, luggage and all the little details that make or break a trip.

So during this Black Friday period, my promise to you is -
• I will always search for the best value and pricing for the holiday and budget you have asked me to plan.
• I will check all relevant Black Friday offers to see if any genuinely enhance your trip.
• I will only share and post offers that I feel are truly worthwhile and in line with the level of service and experience you expect from me.

If you are thinking about a trip and wondering whether to “wait for a deal”, just get in touch and I will happily talk you through the options and any promotions that might be a good fit.

Your holiday should be built around you, not around a discount code.

If you would like me to sense‑check a deal you have seen or start planning something special, just drop me a message and let’s chat about what is right for you.

New Zealand road trip adventure in full swing 🇳🇿

My lovely clients are almost a month into their journey and are continuing their South Island adventure in their spacious RV. Travelling from Kaikoura up to Picton, on to Havelock, then via Nelson to their current stop in Pohara. Then they are off to explore the beautiful Takaka area and the wild, remote landscapes around Farewell Spit.

Such a fantastic way to experience New Zealand. You have complete freedom, ever‑changing scenery and your home on wheels parked in some of the most stunning spots in the world.

If a New Zealand campervan journey is on your wish list, I can help you create a bespoke trip that is perfectly tailored to you. Just get in touch to start planning.

🇱🇨Close your eyes and picture yourself in the warm Caribbean breeze, the twin Pitons glowing at sunset and rum punch in hand, toes in the sand.🤔

St Lucia is where jungle-covered peaks meet soft, golden beaches. Think hot mineral springs you can actually bathe in, waterfall swims, lazy catamaran days and stunning dinners looking out to the ocean.

It’s made for honeymoons, special birthdays and “we really deserve this” escapes.

When?
January to April - Golden, sunny days and that classic winter-sun feel.
May to July - Lush, tropical and often with better value and fewer crowds.
November to mid-December - Perfect for a dose of pre-Christmas sunshine.

If you are dreaming of Saint Lucia, I can handpick the right resort and little touches to make it truly special for you.

🤔Another one of my reflective posts!!

I had a visit last night from a customer with this lovely plant. I don’t normally post this sort of thing, but it got me thinking about what she said…

This was a fairly last-minute booking from Exeter and the first time they’d been away for a while. The lovely gift was a thank you for making everything feel easier and more relaxed.

When the weather turned here at the weekend, I was already in touch to reassure them that I was monitoring the situation. Even though it was a retail holiday, I was ready to step in and help on Saturday night if needed. I knew flights had been diverted to Liverpool the night before and wanted to support if it happened to them.

For me, it doesn’t matter what type of holiday you’ve booked. I want to make sure it is as relaxing and stress-free as possible. With unreliable weather and an ever-changing world, having someone you know keeping an eye on things can make all the difference.
Your online booking engine is not checking your trip late on a Saturday, or looking at alternative options when your long-haul connection fails.

And the best part for my customers…. they know they’ve paid exactly the same price as they would have done online, but with my personal support before, during and after their holiday.

If you’d like that level of care and reassurance for your next trip, I’d love to help you plan it.
