I am seriously getting spoilt these days. A lovely gift in the post from some valued customers who have just recently returned from a great trip to Texas. Thank you. 🥰

I've been spoilt rotten again! I'm so lucky to have such lovely customers. My favourite chocolates too.

I am so lucky to have such truly wonderful customers. I appreciate them and it seems they appreciate me so it's a win both ways. 😊

January has been insanely busy with all the pent up travel demand and holiday enquires so this is a lovely little surprise amongst the madness!

I really do have the kindest and most lovely customers. 🥰

BREAKING NEWS: The travel red list has just been slashed to 7 countries with 47 set to be removed!

The world is opening up and travel is back. I expect flight prices to escalate very quickly so please do get in touch if you would like a tailored holiday quote.

Remember there are still testing requirements in place and complex travel rules so it is wise to book through a Trusted Travel provider and travel expert who can give professional advice and guarantee financial security.

Barry Beach this weekend (taken from Wales online) vs Antigua (my own pic taken today).

To get into Antigua everyone has to show a negative PCR covid test and face masks are still mandatory in public places. Daily covid case rates have averaged 0 to 1 per day since May. Compare to record rising covid cases in the UK, the Delta variant, no testing to go to the beach and now no requirement for face masks in England.

Yet the UK government are continuing to shut down international travel to countless safe and empty destinations with lower covid levels than the UK, needlessly destroying the tourism industry in the process.

I know where I feel safer.

A lovely surprise from a customer whose holiday was sadly cancelled. So kind and thoughtful.

I am now back in the office and open for business after the Christmas break!

Whilst travel may seem a bit uncertain at the moment, I'm convinced that with the vaccine, 2021 will be a better year for travel.

Yesterday we drove north to south across the centre of the island to the lovely beach resort of Plakias. Photos taken on my iPhone do absolutely no justice to the amazing scenery en route.

What a lovely start to the day to have these beautiful flowers arrive from a customer whose holiday was affected by COVID. It's put a big smile on my face.

01/08/2020

TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has advised ITV viewers to book with a travel agent to make sure their money was secure in the event of something like Covid happening again.

“The more we get through this horrible, horrible crisis, the more it’s clear that booking a proper package holiday, through a real human travel agent who you can look straight in the eye, is a really good way to maximise your protection when things start going a little bit wrong.

“It was seen as the past – but it’s the future.”
