Wishing all my wonderful clients, friends, and followers a very Merry Christmas! 🎄

I’ll be taking the public holidays off to enjoy some downtime, but due to the high volume of enquiries I’m currently working through, I won’t be able to take on any new requests until the New Year.

If we’ve already chatted about your travel plans, rest assured your enquiry is in hand—I truly appreciate your patience as I finalise the details.

Wishing you a safe and joyful Christmas season, and may 2025 be filled with amazing travel adventures! ✈️ 🛳️

Day 3 of our cruise and we arrived into Juneau. The capital of Alaska, Juneau is surrounded by the ocean, and mountains and is the most scenic state capital in the USA. We took a helicopter to Mendenhall Glacier and hiked on the ice. To get there we flew over the very impressive Herbert Glacier and the Juneau Ice Field. We were so lucky that the weather was on our side as this excursion frequently gets cancelled due to bad weather. This was definitely a major highlight of our trip.

Day 2 of the cruise was a day at sea. To keep us occupied we booked to do a behind the scenes tour. Visiting the theatre, kitchens and store rooms, I95 - the staff highway, the engineers room and the bridge. If you get a chance on a cruise I definitely recommend it as you really get to understand what goes on behind the scenes.

Sail away day arrived and started with Norwegian Sun arriving into port outside of our hotel window. Our cabin was very spacious with plenty of storage space. The weather was perfect for sail away.

Day 1 - After a journey of almost 30 hours we arrived into Seattle and hit the ground running. A visit to the and was the perfect way to keep awake and try to help the jet lag.

I am getting ready to head overseas next week, and I am always asked what I pack to make life easy while travelling. Here are just a few of the essentials that I travel with -

𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥

Universal Travel Adapter - https://amzn.to/3TAx3fU
This means that I only have to carry one adapter for anywhere I travel in the world, and it also includes USB charging.

Mini Power Bank - https://amzn.to/3TwskMc
Making sure I can easily charge my phone while out and about is essential - I don't want to miss any amazing photo opportunities.

Hard case credit card wallet with RFID protection - https://amzn.to/4ecPDTA
These credit card wallets provide ideal protection and can easily slip into the smallest handbags and pockets.

Waterproof phone pouch - https://amzn.to/3XxKkqH
Whenever I am around water I don't run the risk with my phone, these cases provide protection and can easily be slipped around your neck.

Mini Hand Held Fan - https://amzn.to/3TzN2uu
Small enough to fit into your handbag, and relief whenever you get too warm. Easily rechargeable while you are travelling as well.

Travel heat-proof hair straightener pouch and mat - https://amzn.to/3BcvNsO
This pouch means you can pack your hair straighteners into your luggage immediately after use, and not wait for them to cool down. It's also great to keep everything tidy in your luggage.

Microfiber quick dry towel - https://amzn.to/4gHGLaa
These are extremely lightweight and dry very quickly. They can easily slip into your day pack when you are out exploring and on hand for the impromptu quick dip in the water.

Refillable cosmetics bottles and jars -
https://amzn.to/4e9A8eO
https://amzn.to/3MNSwOy
https://amzn.to/3MU8eaI
https://amzn.to/3B7Ffhg
Don't travel with full-size toiletry and cosmetics items. Decant what you need into these handy smaller-size bottles.

𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜

Magnetic Hooks - https://amzn.to/4djcPxT
These are great for extra storage on the metal cabin walls. They can be used to hang hats, handbags and even clothes.

Magnetic clips - https://amzn.to/3XQxAww
Great for keeping your shore excursion tickets together and hanging strategically on the wall of your cabin. Also great to keep the daily ship agenda on hand.

Door-hanging shoe organiser - https://amzn.to/4dc7mJw
These can hang over the bathroom door and are great at keeping the cabin clutter-free.

Beach towel clips - https://amzn.to/4ew5I6k
Keep your beach towels clipped to your balcony chair or sun lounge by the pool.

Whiteboard Notebook - https://amzn.to/3ZxyIGG
Great for leaving messages to your cabin attendant or your travel companion. Also great for jotting down what time the activities are that you want to participate in each day.

Rechargeable Motion Sensor Light - https://amzn.to/3MYrR1j
This rechargeable nightlight is perfect to be placed in the cabin bathroom, avoiding having to turn the light on during the night and waking everyone in the cabin.

Final day of the annual conference in Cairns was full of special moments. We heard from Emma Carey (the girl who fell from the sky) on the importance of travel insurance. Our final guest was the inspiring . The heart felt fireside chat to end the conference was both funny and emotional. It’s been a big few days in Cairns but so important to my business to network with my industry colleagues and partners.

I'm thrilled to share that I've been nominated for Outstanding Latin America Destination Expert at the upcoming Travel Agent Day Australia Awards! It’s an honour to be recognised among such talented professionals.

As some of you may have heard in the media today, Carnival Corporation will sunset the P&O Cruises Australia brand and move the operations to Carnival Crusie Line.
This change will occur in March 2025 and Pacific Explorer will exit the fleet in February 2025.
Pacific Encounter & Pacific Adventure will be rebranded under the Carnival Cruise Line brand.
For those clients affected by these changes, I'll reach out to you as soon as more information is available.

This new structure will enable Carnival Corporation to continue serving Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific as a more streamlined and efficient organisation.

In 2018 I was lucky enough to witness the Aurora Borealis in Alaska. Today was another special day witnessing the Aurora Australis from my front garden. Both very special moments.
