SO THRILLED TO HAVE JUST RECIEVED THIS WONDERFUL TESTIMONIAL FROM SOME RETURNING CUSTOMERS 😍😍

“Wow what a holiday my friend and I have just had, thanks to Rebecca!

From the get go Rebecca drew out of us exactly what we wanted to achieve in our girls Californian road trip. Rebecca took time to understand what was important to us and then married that with what California had to offer.

We have travelled from San Francisco (via the Napa Valley) to Los Angeles. Every accommodation and organised excursion has been fabulous; meeting and exceeding our expectations. It has been seamless, hassle free and just wonderful.

Even as our holiday began with our flight to San Francisco being cancelled by the airline, Rebecca and her team rallied round to help support us as we had to book new flights. They ensured they took care of communicating with the San Francisco hotel to ensure our late arrival would still be accommodated. We felt reassured and cared for.

If you’re looking for a holiday where you get to see the best of the destination(s), which is hassle free and exceeds your expectations then I would highly recommend Rebecca Edmonds - Not Just Travel. This is only the beginning of my travel adventures with Rebecca’s help.”

Super pleased and proud this morning to announce that this year I'm one of only 10 agents in the UK to be named an Audley A-List VIP agent!! 🥳🥳

Whilst I love working with all my lovely suppliers, I really thrive when planning Audley holidays for my customers. The travel specialists at Audley are all highly trained and experienced in their country of expertise, meaning they can offer incredible tailor-made itineraries worldwide. They always have that extra nugget of local knowledge to make a holiday super special and unique!

I am really looking forward to forging even closer ties with this amazing supplier in the next 12 months, and creating even more unforgettable trips for you all 😍

Here's some ocean-faring Monday holiday inspo for you all!!!

A lovely customer of mine is on-board P&O Azura right now having her very first solo cruise 🤩

She flew to Valletta, Malta to start her journey, and will visit Mykonos, Crete, Athens and Santorini before returning to Malta for her flight home.

She has been in touch to let me know what a wonderful time she's having on-board this fabulous ship - spending yesterday evening's "sailaway" at a VIP Cocktail and Canapes party 🍹🍸🥂

Sounds like it might be her first, but certainly not her last, solo adventure 😍😍

Monday holiday inspo time!!!! 🥳🥳

It's raining again, so warm yourself up with this amazing family trip to South Africa which I've recently booked for some loyal customers.

The lucky lot will start their SA adventure in Cape Town exploring all of the wonderful sights and dining on the V&A waterfront. From there, they'll move to the winelands and a trip on the Franschoek Wine Tram, followed by a stop in Hermanus for whale-watching.

They'll conclude this incredible trip with a three night safari in the Kruger National Park staying at a 5* safari lodge.

Definitely a trip for everyone's bucket list 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Happy Friday!!!!

As promised just giving you a bit more detail on my Thailand trip in case this may be something you'd be interested in 😊

After touring Chiang Mai city and surrounds, we headed out into the countryside surrounding Chiang Mai to Elephant Hills Bush Camp 🐘. This is a luxury tented lodge camp akin to those you might find on safari in Africa.

Here we had the opportunity for some ethical interacation with the 9 female elephants who live at the camp, as well as partaking in various camp activities.

The camp itself is beautiful with a fabulous swimming pool overlooking the Ping River and the food was amazing 😋

A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience! 😍🐘

15/04/2024

I'm back!!! Still a bit jetlagged but ready and waiting to make your holiday dreams a reality 😁

Thailand was absolutely marvellous! Here are some highlights but I'll make further posts about my trip over the coming week.

We travelled to 5 different destinations over 15 nights - by plane, taxi, ferry, longtail boat, speedboat, safari jeep and golf buggy 😉

We dined on beaches, visited temples, fed elephants, watched fireshows, did a cooking class, swam, snorkelled, got beach massages and laughed (a lot)!

We had a special birthday 😍

I ❤️ Thailand 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭

Happy Easter!!

28/03/2024

I'm off on my travels again tomorrow 😎

The nature of my trip means I'll have patchy and intermittent Wi-Fi. So whilst I will deal with queries from existing bookings, I won't be able to deal with new enquiries until Monday 15th April 😊

Look forward to sharing my photos with you all!! Happy Easter everyone 🐣🐣🐣🐣

Love this fab card and flowers from some of my customers who've recently returned from a ladies group ski trip in Austria. Matching pyjamas en pointe 😍😍.

Thank you so much for trusting me with your precious holiday memories!

23/03/2024

I've been lucky enough to spend the past few days in the beautiful Puerto Pollensa where I've been soaking up the wonderful Spring sunshine 😎😎

I'm fortunate to be able to work from anywhere I have Wifi, so I've also been creating some fabulous itineraries for some lovely customers which I'll share with you all over the next few weeks 😍

Happy International Women's Day!

A lovely opportunity to share the words of the fabulous Donna Ashworth 😍

WOMEN

In this life we women are many things,
mothers, sisters, wives, friends, carers.

We are creators,
we are nurture,
we are home.

But above all,
we women are the magic.
We are the intuition.
We are the product of generations,
who fought to be heard,
to be believed,
to be empowered.

And that runs very deep.

When women come together, magic happens my friend.

And those who tell you otherwise are afraid.

We are not.

So come together in all your glory today and every day.
Because you can,
because you must,
because you are called by deep-seated ancestry to do so.

And because, most of all, we hold up half the sky,

and our half must show the other

how to be.

It's Monday holiday inspo time!!! (on a Tuesday again 😆 sorry)

Today I met some fabulous trade partners at a Destination Caribbean event in Birmingham. As well as the more popular Caribbean islands, we heard lots about some of the smaller islands, and the superb hotel properties you can stay in on these island paradises.

Did you know that Aruba has no "wet" season and is outside the hurricane belt? With a weekly direct flight from the UK it's a brilliant choice for the summer holidays and September.

We also learned all about the different Bahamas islands and how Grand Bahama is a great island for eco-tourism. And obviously about the swimming pigs 🐷🐷🐷.

There's so much more to the Caribbean than you think! Get in touch if you'd like to hear more 😊

Monday (sorry Tuesday!) travel inspo time!!!

I was lucky to book this beautiful hotel (which I have holidayed at 3 times) for a loyal customer this month 😍

Anemos Luxury Grand Resort is situated between Chania and Heraklion airports in Crete. As you can see from the photos, it is utterly stunning. It has five restaurants and a whole load of beautiful bars - including a bar/restaurant on the beach.

One of the great things about this hotel is the wide choice of rooms. There are two and three bedroom suites for families and many rooms have shared or private pools.

You can choose your board type here too....everything from B&B to all-inclusive depending on how you prefer to holiday!

Get in touch if you'd like to know more about this beautiful Cretan resort!

Monday holiday inspo time 😎!!!!!

This is just THE MOST FABULOUS trip that two wonderful ladies are taking this May 😍😍.

They'll arrive in San Francisco and, having seen the sights (in a vintage VW campervan and from a sunset catamaran tour), they'll jump in their convertible Mustang and begin an epic road trip down Highway 1!

Stops along the way will be the Napa Valley, Monterey, Morro Bay, Santa Barbara and Palm Springs. They'll taste wine 🍷and chocolates, whale-watch 🐳 and have a fancy spa day as well as just soaking up the incredible scenery.

Their trip will end in Los Angeles where they'll go on a Classic Convertible Tour of the city before a final day at Warner. Bros Studio Tour Hollywood.

Just an amazing trip and such incredible fun to be part of the planning 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It's Monday holiday inspo time! 🙌

Last week I finalised this fab trip for a lovely extended family of 8 😍

They will be travelling to Corfu and boarding MS Harmonia for an amazing 7 day Ionian Cruise on a traditional Greek gulet. They'll visit several Ionian islands and mainland ports, where they will have the opportunity to enjoy oodles of experiences on land and sea.

When they get back on dry land again, they're going to end their holiday with 3 nights R&R at the beautiful Kontokali Bay Resort and Spa on Corfu.

This has been such fun for me personally to plan and book...I know that my customers will love it!

29/01/2024

Rainy Monday holiday inspo incoming!!!! 😃😎

Just booked this fabulous small group activity holiday in the Pyrenees for a lovely family. They'll be white-water rafting, mountain biking, walking and kayaking in Andorra this summer.

And the best bit is that it's a group holiday especially for families with teenagers - so hopefully there will be some great friendships made to boot!

25/01/2024

Happy customers today who are off to this lovely villa with private pool in Rhodes this October.

It's only a 10 minute drive from Rhodes Town and it's fabulous historic monuments and traditional tavernas, and in walking distance of the beach and nearest town.

Just the thing to catch those last European rays of sunshine 😎

20/01/2024

So privileged to have booked this amazing family holiday this week!

This summer the lucky bunch will be taking in Borneo, Malaysia's East Coast and Kuala Lumpur 😍.

They'll be meeting orang-utans and sea turtles, as well as reclining on some of Malaysia and Borneo's finest beaches and exploring the amazing city of Kuala Lumpur.

Wildlife, beach, city break....this holiday has it all!! 🇲🇾 🇲🇾🇲🇾

Just a quick review of my holiday in Senegal over the festive period for those who were interested in this up and coming holiday destination 🇸🇳

The weather was a massive factor in our decision and it did not disappoint! Wall to wall blue skies every day and mid 30's temperatures. The resort was excellent - a very solid all-inclusive resort with great food, spacious, clean rooms and a fabulous beach.

We took a day trip to Goree island using a local vendor. This is a must-see. Senegal is the closest part of mainland Africa to the Americas, and was used to channel slaves onto ships to go and work on the plantations in the Caribbean and US. A very beautiful but very poignant place.

Other day trips were available, mostly centred around "safari" experiences which other travellers said were excellent.

All in all I highly recommend Senegal for winter sun, and the opportunity to see a fascinating country and meet some lovely local people 😍

So many of you will be planning your holidays around now. Before you press the "book" button online, drop me a line and see whether I can get the same (or an even better!) deal.

My services are COMPLETELY FREE to you and can only enhance your holiday experience 😊.... better than dealing with a faceless tour operator to whom you are just a booking reference!

Get in touch 😀

03/01/2024

I am ready and waiting for your holiday wishlists for 2024 and beyond 😍

It's really true that the best deals aren't online. I have access to hundreds of trade-only suppliers who are offering fabulous deals.

And for those operators you can book yourselves online? Many offer the same prices booking through me....and for those that don't I can usually price match.

So same or better deals BUT with top-notch personal service!

Just get in touch and I'll find you your perfect holiday at the best price 😃

Last sunset of 2023 from beautiful Senegal! Happy new year to all my wonderful customers 😍. Look forward to planning your special holidays in 2024!

Happy Holidays and Safe Travels ✨🎄✈️

Here’s to more passports stamped, more horizons expanded, and more dreams fulfilled in the coming year!

29/11/2023

Love, love, love working with my customers on their bucket list adventures 😍

This lucky family are heading off to Kenya this summer to see the Big 5 and Masai Mara in all it's amazing glory. They'll also take in Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National Parks to round off their safari experience.

After all that excitement they're chilling at the beach in beautiful Zanzibar, where they can visit the stunning Mnemba Atoll for some snorkelling. Having visited there earlier this year I can certainly recommend the experience 💯

If you have bucket list travel dreams and would like to start planning please get in touch!

Good morning Cyprus!

Very privileged to be waking up in the beautiful Constantinou Bros Pioneer Beach Hotel in Paphos this morning 😍

Ready for five days of learning with my fellow Not Just Travel business owners at our Retreat here. Hopefully will get some exploring done too, so I can recommend this beautiful destination to my customers.

😉 won't cost you any more than doing it yourself....
