Happy Monday to you all!

I hope you’ve had an amazing summer. We spent our time in the UK, reconnecting with our lovely friends and family and enjoying the simple things in life. We were blessed with plenty of sunshine too which was an added bonus ☀️.

Since we have been back, after a nerve-racking wait, Joe received great GCSE results and is due to start 6th form in just a couple of days. So, for us, it’s back to a routine and the excitement of working on some great enquiries for my customers.

If the summer has inspired you to think about future holidays, I would love to hear from you and would be delighted to put together some ideas for you.

🌸 Spring holidays may be over, but the warmth of gratitude from my clients keeps the season alive! 💖

Received this heartwarming testimonial from a lovely client: "Gill, I can’t thank you enough for your help in booking our dream trip to the Maldives. You made the whole booking process so easy and ensured that every last detail was thought of, especially ensuring our transfers and restaurant bookings were all taken care of which meant all we had to do was turn up and enjoy everything. This and the little extras like sending a cake and bubbly to our room on my birthday are the reasons why I will always book through you instead of a big travel company in future as you can never beat the personal touch that you provide."

Moments like these remind me why I love what I do. Thank you for trusting me with your travel dreams! ✈ Let's keep making memories together! 🏝

Group Golfing Trip Spain 🇪🇸

I have had the pleasure of organising a wonderful trip for a group of golfers from Dubai over the last couple of months. It has been great putting this itinerary together which includes the following :-

After arriving at Barcelona Airport, a transfer will take the group to the ‘ME Barcelona’ (Melia Group). The ‘ME Barcelona’ is a beautiful 5* property located in the heart of Passeig de Gracia, the Barcelona Golden Mile. Wonderful facilities, including a Spa & Gym and a Rooftop terrace with pool, where you can enjoy the best view of the Plaza Catalunya and Sagrada Familia

The following day, a transfer will take the group to The R C G El Prat Golf Club for 18 holes of golf on a course that is regarded as one of the finest golf clubs in Spain. The course has hosted many championships including the Spanish Open on 10 occasions.

After golf the group will then have the opportunity to experience the magnificent city of Barcelona.

The following day a transfer (just under an hour) will take the group to The Camiral Golf & Wellness Resort (formerly PGA Catalunya) for a 2 night stay. The group will play the two world class golf courses as well as taking advantage of the wonderful facilities at this fantastic 5* resort.

The itinerary is set up for them to have a wonderful time, playing the game of golf they love but also incorporating a host of activities in the iconic city of Barcelona & rest and relaxation at the beautiful 5 star Camiral Resort.

Should you or your friends be interested in a trip like this, get in touch and I can create a bespoke package for any destination across the world. Taking all the pressure away from you having to organise all the different elements of the break and leaving you to look forward to a wonderful golf trip with your friends or colleagues.
