Dominican Republic - Fast Facts:

Louise Rush - Once in a Lifetime Holidays is currently out in Dominican Republic, scouting for the perfect hotels for our clients and getting a feel for the area. None of the team have been, until now...

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Caribbean holiday hotspot!
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด The time is GMT-4 (currently 5 hours behind UK due to British summer time).
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Average flying time 9hr 15 mins direct (my outbound was closer to 8 hrs 30 mins).
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Local currency is the Dominican
Peso. ยฃ10 is roughly 710 DOP. US dollars are widely accepted.
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด The country shares itโ€™s island with Haiti.
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Santo Domingo is the capital, a colonial city with UNESCO world heritage status.
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด The annual carnival held in February is a colorful tradition with elaborate costumes and lively parades.
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด DR is home to the highest peak in the Caribbean, (Pico Duarte) as well as the lowest point (Lake Enriquillo).
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Sargassum (floating seaweed) is generally worse during the summer months as the hurricanes wash it to shore but it is unpredictable and like many places. Some resorts/ areas donโ€™t experience seaweed at all. Note - Dreams Macao doesnโ€™t get seaweed at all. This is now abundant in many areas of the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico.
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Some of Jurassic Park 3 was filmed in the Dominican Republicโ€ฆ
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด And leading on from that oneโ€ฆ DR is known for itโ€™s amber that often contains prehistoric fossils, making it a valuable resource for both jewellery and scientific study.
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Baseball is the most popular sport.
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Some beaches have golden sand and green water and some have pure white sand and blue oceans so choose wisely depending on your preference!
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด The Atlantic Ocean merges with the Caribbean Sea so some beaches tend to be choppy waters, unsuitable for swimming.
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Mosquitos are a thing. Use bug spray from the your hotel - itโ€™s much more effective than what we get in the UK.
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Lake Enriquillo is the largest saltwater lake in the Caribbean and home to crocodiles, iguanas, and flamingos.
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด DR one of the Caribbean's largest economies, with major industries including tourism, agriculture (especially sugarcane, coffee, and cocoa), and mining.
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Before the arrival of the Europeans, the island was inhabited by the Taรญno people. Many words, such as "hurricane", "canoe", and "barbecue", originate from the Taรญnos.
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด DR is the birthplace of merengue dancing.
๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด Sanoa island is a paradise island baby sister to Dominican Republic and used for scenes in Pirates of the Caribbeanโ€ฆ today weโ€™re going there on a catamaran!!

Let's talk Christmas Markets ๐ŸŽ„ โ„๏ธ โ›ธ๏ธ ๐Ÿงฃ๐Ÿ•ฏ

Are you dreaming of cozy fires, smell of cinnamon, mulled wine, traditional nativity scenes, Carols and all the Christmas feels? Let's look at some of my favourite European Christmas Markets (there LOTS to chiose from):

1. Vienna, Austria ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น

Best for Christmas Lights and Traditional Festive Cheer. Christmas markets spread out amongst the old town. You will find traditional gifts on offer from wooden toys to artisan handmade soaps. Wander the markets in beautiful lights, as the place glows underneath the Christmas lights.

2. Berlin, Germany ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช

Best for trendy gifts and winter sports, including tobogganing, ice skating. There are approximately 80 Christmas markets spread across town, even have one dedicated to dogs. A truly wonderful Christmas experience.

3. Salzsburg, Austria ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น

Best for Christmas Carols and Ancient Traditions. The home of the Sound of Music, immerses you in to the traditions of the market from 15th century. Join in the daily carol concert for optimum Christmas Cheer.

4. Bohemia, Czech Republic ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟ

Best for Christmas atmosphere and beautiful architecture. You can lose yourself in the aroma of freshly baked Christmas cookies, whilst being surrounded by the twinkling fairy lights in town.

5. Bruges, Belgium ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช

Best for romance. There are 2 main markets but you can warm yourself fireside in one of the winter bars before following the mesmerising Light Experience Trail or opt for the romantic ice skating in this gorgeous setting.

There are SO many Christmas markets to choose from, it can be overwhelming knowing where to start and the best areas to stay. Let me guide you through the vast choice available - there are also fantastic river cruises that incorporate Christmas Markets, so if you're looking for a break away thats a little different, lets have a chat ๐Ÿ’™โœˆ๏ธ

Today I was lucky enough to attend a Princess Cruises family day - it was a real treat for us all!

An early morning start at Southampton docks and we were greeted by the overwhelming size and beauty of the Sky Princess.

We enjoyed a snippet of amazing productions on offer, live music, womens football on the big screens over the pools, delicious selection of food, ice cream and drinks and a very warm welcome from all the Princess crew.

Sky Princess has just returned from 2 weeks in the Mediterranean before heading off to the Norwegian Fjords this afternoon.

Fun facts:

๐Ÿค The weight of Sky Princess is equivalent to 28,000 elephants ๐Ÿ˜
๐Ÿค The length of Sky Princess is equivalent to 3 premier league football pitches โšฝ๏ธ

Travelling from Bournemouth Airport is a breeze... โœˆ๏ธ
..and I'm not talking about the wind and rain today ๐ŸŒง๐ŸŒ‚

5 reasons I love flying from Bournemouth:

1. Convenience - You can walk from the car park, across the road in to the terminal building, not having to rely on busses or pick ups. When you land there is no walking for miles to get to passport control, then a trek to get to your car - we all know that when we land after a holiday that you just want to get home.

2. Security is quiet and quick. Being a smaller airport the queues are a lot shorter. We had cabin bags, and checked in online, so went straight through security in about 5 minutes.

3. Good regional airport that flies to a total of 35 destinations, in 18 different countries - including Spain, France, Turkey, Greece and Italy.

4. There tends to be only ever be one flight taking off at any time (maybe two). No delays in all the years we have flown from Bournemouth.

5. If you do check in your luggage. There is no long wait or confusion of where your bags can be picked up - just collect and go (via security obviously)

Why not give Bournemouth a try for your next departure - you won't be disappointed ๐Ÿ’™โœˆ๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป We are often asked for our expert advice without making any charges for our time and expertise

To respond to all the above we are launching โ€˜More than Once...โ€™

A way to book your holiday with an experienced agent but manage your booking online.

The internet can be less expensive (not always) as there is no human interaction. It is transactional and relies on your own decision making. You can spend hours, if not days of your time searching, (quite often lots of stress in the process), rather than engaging in the services of an expert.

โ€˜More than Once...โ€™ is a choice of using an expert to the point of booking, to ensure you make the right choice - however the rest of your transaction will be online.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป Your documents will be retrieved from our online customer portal
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป Your tickets will be retrieved from our online customer portal
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป Our service will be included until the point of sale, however after that any information, advice or changes will be chargeable
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป You will manage the booking, print out all your documentation, add your own seats, complete your own API, check yourself in, print your own boarding passes and ensure you have your own entry requirements and passports information up to date as you would if you booked online.

We want every holiday to be a Once in Lifetime Holiday - but we understand that for some it might just be 'More than Once... โ€˜

This is right up my street... ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ ๐Ÿš™

๐Ÿ˜ x12 nights Sydney to Melbourne by campervan from ยฃ2,909 ๐Ÿ˜

Most people will know Australia is probably one of my most FAVOURITE destinations (but there is still so much to see of the world!) If you feel like packing up and going on an adventure, this is a good introduction to southern Australia.

The journey from Sydney to Melbourne is filled with pristine national parks and nature reserves, stunning ocean scenery and charming beachside towns. Starting in the beautiful harbourside city, Sydney is complete with famous landmarks, spectacular natural wonders, world-class dining and awe-inspiring landscapes. Head south and the dream continues, coastal stretches make way for seaside hamlets and stunning beaches blend into lush wilderness and wildlife.

Tour includes international flights, accommodation in Sydney and Melbourne, arrival and departure transfers and motorhome hire.
