How was your weekend? I had an unexpected trip into London. Gorgeous lights on Regent Street, Prosecco and The Punch and Judy in Covent Garden and watching some Mission Impossible style Christmas decorating outside John Lewis on Oxford Street. 🎄

🎄 As we are in November, are we allowed to talk Christmas? I think so!
🛳 Last year my family spent Christmas Day on a Bahamian island thanks to a Disney cruise, and it was everything I hoped for and more. It was our first Christmas away from home and I would do it every year if I could!
🎅 For the youngest, it was pure Christmas magic: Father Christmas appeared on our Bahamian island on Christmas Day (enjoying a little rest and relaxation after a very busy night), Mrs Claus read cosy bedtime stories, there were giant gingerbread houses in the ship’s atrium, and Christmas‑themed entertainment and treats everywhere.
🌴 For the teens, it was an unforgettable Bahamian holiday: Christmas in the sunshine, time on the beach, and still the chance to feel little again as they sneaked in a photo with Father Christmas and tucked into as many gingerbread cookies as they liked.
✨ For me (and the other adults), it was the most relaxing Christmas you could imagine. All the cooking and cleaning were taken care of, and Disney created special festive moments that just happened around us while we enjoyed being together.
📅 If a Christmas filled with sunshine, magic and zero stress sounds like your kind of celebration, now is the perfect time to start planning for Christmas 2027. Get in touch and I would love to help you design your own magical Christmas at sea.

Welcome to November and the month of crazy online sales!

I've taken some time to think about the crazy Black Friday Sale that this month brings and would encourage everyone to be cautious about committing to something in these really tempting sales that you may not be fully invested in.

Black Friday can bring the best deals - but always consider if this is the holiday that you had been wishing for. Annual leave and finances are limited so don't commit to something in these all too tempting sales that may delay your long dreamed of holiday.

Weekends have not been my friend recently. Last weekend it was a flight cancellation and a cruise rebook to get passengers home, and this weekend it was storms Austen and Boelo on one of my busiest travel weekends of the year.

These epic storms coincided with the start of the October half term for most schools. Unlike the longer summer holidays, almost everyone wants to travel on the same few days, which puts huge pressure on flights and airports.

Fortunately, all of my travellers made it to their destinations (or home again), but that did not stop me worrying and tracking flights to make sure I was there if anyone needed me during this tricky time.

I am always pleased to be on hand to help my clients, but I am equally pleased I was not on the flight that one of them described as “dropping onto the runway rather than landing smoothly” 😯

Never a dull day in travel.

If you would like someone in your corner keeping an eye on things when you travel, I would love to help you plan your next trip.
