Cheers everyone 🥂

A fabulous end to the month with a cheeky flurry of bookings today for holidays this August and September, the short countdowns are on 😂

When you get a Sangria Cheers from Lanzarote 💜

Love it! I wouldn't mind jumping in there today 😂

Another fab week, speaking to lots of customers heading off on their holidays this week and some great bookings, including a Christmas Market break, Egypt, Tenerife, Sri Lanka and the Maldives and a city break to Amsterdam!

It's like a Geography lesson 😂

26/07/2024

This breaks my heart, as you know I love Canada and to see this in a town we have stopped in a couple of times and where I have sent many customers it's just awful to see.

I have messaged customers who are due out there later this year and will of course keep them posted on any changes we may need to make for their holiday but the priority at the moment are the residents, business owners and tourists already in Jasper and surrounding areas.

Thankfully there are no deaths reported, I just worry about the animals that are affected also, we saw some wonderful wildlife while visiting.

The blazes are still out of control as firefighters try to save as many buildings as possible.

My weekly networking meeting this week was extra fabulous as I picked up my winnings from the recent Euro's sweepstake.

Happy days and thanks to Ian Prowse of www.facebook.com/photogrooveuk for organising 🥂

Now, decisions decisions 😂

Is Mauritius calling you? It's always calling me 😂

This just shows the beuty of the island and the amazing resort at Dinarobin. I can confirm it is stunning along with the other Beachcomber hotels on the Island.

Happy watching ❤️

The Great British Summer 😂

You can't beat a Mr Whippy and we searched high and low yesterday as it was glorious. So when Master NJT spotted a Whippy Van with his beady eyes it just had to be despite the rain 😂

Throwback to last weekend when I popped on a Ferry from Ibiza old town and visited one of the most beautiful beaches on Formentera, another Island in the Med 💜

11/07/2024

Today's customer photo is a "cheers" from Oludeniz 💜

They are absolutely loving life and just look at those views. Enjoy xx

09/07/2024

I love it when customers update me during their holiday and this is the photo I have just received. Father and Son who are spending some time in Krakow and are having a beach day as the weather is topping 30+ degrees for them!

They are enjoying Bagry Beach and yes I am a little jealous while i nurse the holiday blues haha!

Talking all things Virgin Voyages 💜

07/07/2024

That's a wrap! What an awesome week, I was a little worried going into this last week as I had pre conceptions of what the cruise may be like but I can say 100% it was the best cruise I've ever done!

If you love good food, social spaces, quiet spaces, fitness and wellbeing, good entertainment, dancing or relaxing in a hammock then you're covered.

Great technology on board, super staff and a fabulous itinerary. I will definitely be doing another one.

Any questions give me shout!

Bye Bye Ibiza

Cheers everyone, have a great weekend 🥂

Wow! Day 3 on board Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady and we have ticked off Spain, France and today Italy 👍🏼

We docked in Marina di Carrara!⚓

The crystal clear waters and picturesque coastline were a wonderful surprise to wake up too this morning, when we were greeted by this view.

After training we explored Marina di Carrara and Forte del Marmi so we could get some beach time in as well as the beautiful cobbled streets

02/07/2024

Office for the morning!

We arrived in Italy this morning and will be exploring later, it looks stunning but first some training with NJT and Virgin Voyages. Learning all things Virgin ❤️

30/06/2024

On my way!

After a 330am alarm (should be against the law) 🤣
I have just boarded ready for my 7am flight to Barcelona where I will be boarding the Virgin Voyages ship, Scarlett Lady.

Security was a breeze from arriving at the airport to through security was 45 minutes, added time due to being pulled for a drugs swipe 🙈🤣 every time!

Day 4 and 5 Done 👍🏼 with Visit Tampa Bay

What a whirlwind 24 hours, starting the day with breakfast at 9 after a walk in downtown Tampa to catch the street car to Ybor City. Where we then met Max a local resident who does a walking tour around Ybor, it was a fab tour, lots of history and how it became the Cigar capital. It is a historic city, one of only 3 in Florida and so the buildings and roads are preserved.

Followed by a Hotel visit at Hotel Haya a boutique independent hotel which would suit those enjoying the night life of Ybor.

We were then treated to a fabulous lunch at the Columbia Restaurant including their famous Cuban bread, sangria and 1905 Salad.

Ybor is a special place, lots of independents. Small businesses helping each other and wild chickens roam free around the streets, a nod to the past.

We then continued the hotel tours back in downtown at the Hyatt Place, a great option for longer stays and families before heading back to our hotel for a freshen up before heading to the airport.

An overnight flight home which included a storm, which in the pilots words "was the best he had seen" Before driving back from Heathrow for the chores of unpacking start 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for keeping me company, until next time (Sunday) 🙈

25/06/2024

Day 3 done 👍🏼 with Visit Tampa Bay

We started the day being hosted at the JW Marriott situated in the Water Street area, a private room with the manager hosting and the chef presenting all the treats they had for us. It was absolutely delicious 😋

We then had the pleasure of visiting The Edition Hotel, a very unique hotel, stunning, smells beautiful and a luxury brand which you will find around the world.

We then had a tour of the hotel, and their sister property before heading off to Tampa Bay History centre, we had a tour of the museum which talked about the first nation people, pirates and some of Tampa's icons.

We jumped on the street car which is a free public transport service connecting different areas of the city to head to Aloft, for another hotel visit before having a couple of hours in the pool to cool down!

The hot, humid temperatures meant a storm at tea time just as we had all got ready for our dinner out 🙈

We finished the day with a fabulous Italian meal in Hyde Park with Tampa Tourism Board!

Another awesome day 💜

24/06/2024

Day 2 done 👍🏼 with Visit Tampa Bay

We started the day at Goody Goody Diner for breakfast in the Hyde Park area, I can honestly say I had the best ever French toast I've ever had, made with Cuban bread 😋

We then headed over to Busch Gardens to experience rollercoasters, water rides and to see some of the animals they have. It was safe to say that Sally got soaked on the rapids but it was fabulous to cool down! Good old Floridian weather meant an announcement on the afternoon the rides were stopping due to the weather coming in 🙈 so we popped to a mall for some retail therapy before heading back.

The evening saw us at the highest roof top bar in Tampa for amazing views and beautiful drinks before heading on the free street trolly to Ybor city for a few more drinks.

Another fabulous day in Tampa and all ready for Day 3

23/06/2024

Day 1 done 👍🏼 with Visit Tampa Bay

Wow, what a start to discovering Tampa, meeting Emery our Tampa Tourism guide for the day who took us to Hillsborough River State Park where we joined George of Flovibez to Kayak along the river, an absolutely stunning setting but seeing two alligators and a snake fall from the tree or and a turtle surprised us all 🙈🤣

A celebration required after a couple of hours in the Kayaks and off to Cigar City Brewing where we enjoyed a flight of beers, a tour and some fabulous food.

With a couple of hours downtime before getting ready for our evening out with Tampa Tourism. Unfortunately a storm came in (anyone that knows me will know this was not for me 🤣) so Ubers it was down to the Riverwalk to eat some delicious food at Oak & Ola before catching the Pirate Water Taxi back for a drink at the hotel.

It has been an awesome day but boy do I need some z's 🤣🤣🤣 Bring on day 2 ......

21/06/2024

It's official, the work trip has started!

Meet and Greet done!
Met the other travellers 👍🏼
Check in done!
Security completed
Now for a coffee (other drinks available 😜)
