Iโ€™ve already been able to successfully rebook all of my affected travellers to alternative flights, so that theyโ€™ve had the minimum hassle and still able to enjoy their original trips.

If youโ€™ve booked independently take note and rebook before itโ€™s too late, as well as amend any hotels, transfers, holiday insurance, days out/activities, airport parking, airport lounges etc if it isnโ€™t going to be possible for you on the same daysโ€ฆ a lot of work eh!?!

Had a cracking ten days looking after an amazing girls youth footy team, their coaches and some supporters, all over from Vancouver area, Canada; who were training at the Manchester City FC Academy!

They had four sessions, watched two menโ€™s FA Cup games, toured three footy stadiums and also played four games against their age group! Quality standard too - they won all four matches and even beat the City U16โ€™s on their own turf!! (So proud, I took em around Anfield as a treat ๐Ÿ˜‰)

INDONESIAN ISLAND-HOPPING FROM ยฃ2,149

EXPLORE LOMBOK, BALI AND THE GILI ISLANDS IN THIS MULTI-CENTRE HOLIDAY TO THE LESSER-VISITED PARTS OF THE REGION

Lying to the east of Bali, Lombok is the quieter and less developed alternative to its more famous neighbour. If youโ€™re looking for wide open spaces, relatively untouched beaches and the chance to enjoy outdoor activities, Lombok has it all. There's just one main beach resort on its mainland โ€“ laid-back Senggigi. Set on a sweeping bay between two headlands, the main beach is lined with resorts, restaurants and bars โ€“ yet you wonโ€™t have to go too far to find a relatively empty beach. Trekkers are enticed to the island by the towering active volcano of Mount Rinjani where, from the summit on a clear morning, a blue-green crater lake can be seen in all its glory, and Lombokโ€™s lush, mountainous interior is ideal for walking and cycling.

Your 5-night stay on Lombok is at the Sudamala Resort Senggigi. Inspired by a great summer palace, the suites here are beautiful, many with traditional thatched roofs in the bedrooms, and all with contemporary dรฉcor, hand-crafted pieces of furniture and splashes of bright colour.

Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Gili Meno make up the fabled โ€˜Gilisโ€™. Popular for years on the backpacker circuit, these rustic, bohemian islands lie offshore from mainland Lombok. They are car-free (the method of transport is either bicycle or horse-drawn carts called cidomos) and perhaps offer a taste of what some of Thailandโ€™s islands may have been like in years gone by.

Your 3-night stay is on the pint-sized island of Gili meno at the Mahamaya, a boutique bolthole of stylish pools and laid-back lounging. Mahamaya means 'ultimate paradise', and it certainly does this hotel justice on the gloriously quiet, rustic island of Gili Meno. The hotel is beautiful and understated โ€“ itโ€™s small and simple enough in its design that it doesnโ€™t jar amongst the more traditional thatched huts of the island, and the English managers lead an excellent team of staff.

Finish your adventure on the best known holiday destination in Indonesia, the isle of Bali at the Candi Beach Resort & Spa on the islandโ€™s east coast. Away from the heavily developed resorts of the south of the island, Candi Beach has a tranquil beachfront location and relaxing vibe. Ideal for foodies with a range of dining options specialising in the freshest local ingredients and there are even cookery classes on offer where you can visit a local market with the culinary team before creating your dish.

*STRIKES AT PASSPORT OFFICES*

Hi all; Itโ€™s worthwhile checking you & your familyโ€™s passports if youโ€™ve got any travel plans over the next year.

Many people get confused as to expiry date / issue dateโ€ฆ Iโ€™ve had three totally different โ€˜concernedโ€™ bookings where passport validity is in question.

It all depends on where you are going, EU has different parameters than other countries around the worldโ€ฆ check with your travel professional ( ๐Ÿค”โ€ฆ who might that be?! ๐Ÿ˜‰) prior to booking any foreign journeys.

Some instances itโ€™s in relation to how long ago your passport was issued; some destinations itโ€™s how many months you have left on your passport before itโ€™s expiry date (& this amount varies)โ€ฆ thereโ€™s no strict rule for all. When youโ€™re booking with me, itโ€™s just yet another part of my service that I will check for you, so you donโ€™t have to waste lots of time trawling through websites to find the definitive answer or spend ages sat on hold to numbers that cost money.

Currently the turnaround time for an online renewal has been only about a week for many applicationsโ€ฆ(obviously no guarantees on that; and only safe way of securing a passport in specific time is fast-track appointments)

So the following should be noted STRIKES AT PASSPORT OFFICES in April & May. Maybe itโ€™s worthwhile to consider getting yours sorted sooner rather than later, as when they reopen afterwards, there will be a backlogโ€ฆ?

(Feel free to share)

For those whose passports are in date - LETS GET BOOKING! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

ANTIGUA ALL INCLUSIVE - SCHOOL SUMMER HOLIDAYS FROM ยฃ4,999 PER FAMILY

Spread out in lush grounds, The Verandah Resort & Spa has a laid-back vibe and never feels crowded. One of the beautiful beaches is dedicated to non-motorised watersports and the cove-protected waters are perfect for snorkelling and kayaking. Join a game of beach volleyball, pick one of many peaceful spots dotted around the resort, or explore the gardens during a game of mini golf past ponds, waterfalls and tropical flowers. The resort has the islandโ€™s largest freeform freshwater swimming pool as well as a peaceful adults-only pool and a brand new infinity pool which is located on Rasta Beach and features a raised sun deck.

Two restaurants โ€“ Seabreeze and Buccaneer โ€“ have casual family-friendly ร  la carte dining and themed buffet evenings. Dress up for dinner at Nicoleโ€™s featuring a new bar and enjoy fine steaks and lobster. There is also the Beach Bar & Grill, the new Wadadli Snack Shack and the rustic Rasta Bar, or you can enjoy evening entertainment at the pool bar. Enjoy soft drinks, tropical juices, rum punch and cold beer at the new Lazy Pelican Beach Bar on the watersports beach.

The spacious single-storey suites are dotted in clusters around the resort and have a queen-size sofa bed โ€“ ideal for families. Hillside Suites overlook gardens and Water View Suites are nearer the sea with garden and partial ocean views. Waterfront Suites are perched on the hillside with unobstructed ocean views. Rooms can interconnect through the balcony for larger families or groups. The new Two Bedroom Villas with Plunge Pool are set on the hillside with a fully equipped kitchen, living/dining area and breathtaking bay views.

This photo has been taken directly above these camels walking in a Saudi Arabian desert as the sun sets. National Geographic thinks itโ€™s one of the pictures of that year.

If you zoom closely, youโ€™ll see that the camels are the short white lines in the picture. The main shapes are just the shadows.

A little travel info *BRISTOL CLEAN AIR ZONE* (feel free to tag / share to friends)>

Iโ€™ve just taken this from a post Iโ€™ve seen on a comment Iโ€™ve seen on a Facebook travel page.
Iโ€™ve checked the info and also the link, and within the link (government website) thereโ€™s a checker to see if your vehicle falls into the concern (70% of cars are absolutely fine).

โ€œโ€ฆJust a little heads up if you are heading off on holiday from Bristol Airport {or going to Bristol}. The new clean air zone covers part of the route from South Wales and if travelling from that direction you may be fined if your vehicle does not meet the criteria, or do not pay the charge. Alternative routes are obviously possible. More information from this linkโ€ฆโ€ which will also display other areaโ€™s nationally that might affect you if your car is below the permitted levels.

Shouldnโ€™t concern anyone travelling to the airport from Dorset / Southern England (as the airport is south west of Bristol) but at least you can refer to the checker to see if your car is โ€˜cleanโ€™ for any other travels too. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ
