Throwback Thursday ... all the way back to 1990! Who'd have guessed that thirty-something years down the line we would be all grown up and managing a business together? Certainly not us!

Between us we have travelled the world - Antarctica is the only continent that neither of us has visited (hmmm, we must do something about that!). Our little black book is busting with hotels, restaurants, tours and experiences - just waiting to make your dream holiday a reality.

And, the icing on the cake, we love our business and what we do! 🌍❤️

We met with Rovos Rail in London last week.

This is the way to see Southern Africa with journeys across the region. We can tailor your holiday to fit with your wishes; perhaps adding safari days, a visit to the incredible Victoria Falls, wine tasting and even adding on a few beach days before or after your rail journey.

How’s everyone adjusting to the clocks having gone back? I hate these short, dark winter days, and always try to have a few fun things scheduled in my diary to get me through the winter months. Travel wise, November is a great month to …

VISIT
The Caribbean - hurricane season is coming to a close and the peak December visitor numbers are still some weeks away. November can be the ideal time for a pre-Christmas holiday in the Caribbean sun with temperatures hovering around 30.

Southern California - November is a great month for much of the southern USA. I especially love SoCal - spend a couple of nights in LA then drive up to Palm Springs. November temperatures are typically mid-high twenties. Though be sure to pack for cooler temperatures if you intend on taking the sky tram into the mountains; there’s occasional snow up there!

Lisbon (and the Lisbon coast) - if you’re looking for a short break, you can’t beat Lisbon. Stay in the heart of the city or in the neighbouring upmarket parish of Cascais e Estoril. Either way you’re assured of fantastic food, a wealth of history and culture to explore and mild temperatures.

BOOK
November is the last chance saloon for booking Christmas and early January breaks. The summer was a non-event in the UK and as a result there is a lot of demand for winter sun through December. Many resorts are already full! Call us NOW of you want to book a winter break.

February Half Term, Easter ‘25, Summer ‘25. BOOK NOW! Don’t leave it to the last minute.

Happy November, folks!

With the clocks going back, the dark nights are here and we all start to crave a bit of winter warmth. You don't need to travel longhaul to catch the sun. Here are some of our top picks for short-haul winter breaks.

I got out of the office earlier this week and enjoyed a great training event organised by Travel Gossip.

I learnt loads from a leading accommodation partner, more than 700,000 accommodation options at my finger tips guys!

And I also won a couple of tickets for a Big Bus Company tour. They operate in 26 locations now everywhere from London to Darwin via LA ... (would it be totally outrageous to plan a wee trip to LA to use my bus tickets? 🥰🤪)

Happy Friday folks, another working week done. #fridayvibes #domoreofwhatyoulove #travel #liveyourbestlife

Time flies … this time last week we were in the middle of World Travel Market - WTM London. What an amazing event! WTM is the largest travel trade event in the world bringing together travel professionals from around the globe. We made some great connections, attended some insightful conference sessions, ate delicious Moroccan and Vietnamese food, danced in The Gambia and Trinidad, enjoyed coffee in Jamaica - and all without leaving London Excel. 🌍 ❤️ 😎 #travelagentlife #WTM #independenttravelagent #ilovemyjob

Feeling the love this Friday. Our clients are spending their Friday relaxing on a very special Travel Lightly honeymoon with @beachcomber_hotels in Mauritius. Give us a call to talk about your honeymoon options. We ❤️ a bit of romance 🥰🥰 #honeymoon #honeymoondestinations #makingmemories #fridaymood #mauritius #indianocean #beachcombermauritius #travellightly

Looking for short break inspiration? I spent a long weekend in Vilnius, Lithuania earlier this year. I loved it; such a beautiful, green and walkable city - packed with history, culture and amazing restaurants. I can’t wait to go back 🇱🇹 ❤️ #lithuania #vilnius #vilniusoldtown #liveyourbestlife

Wednesday - Wish you were here? This time last week I was enjoying a stay at Moon Palace, Ocho Rios Jamaica. This 5* all-inclusive resort exceeded my expectations; it’s a large hotel with more than 700 rooms across three buildings, but that doesn’t take away from the small-hotel friendly attitude and feel. It’s a very welcoming resort, the staff are super friendly and genuinely want to see you have a great time in Jamaica. There’s a lot here to ensure that good time with a host of restaurants, bars, water sports, a gym and one of the largest spas in the Caribbean (I recommend the hydrotherapy suite and a massage - great way to unwind from the long flight across the pond!). You need to reserve and pay for spa treatments, but other than that you are truly all-inclusive - all restaurants, all drinks (including spirits, wines and cocktails), all use of the gym (including yoga and Pilates classes), all non-motorised water sports. There’s something at Moon Palace for everyone - solo travellers, couples or families. At the time of my stay, children go free up to the age of 17. Yes, you read that right - 17! The hotel has an expert in-house weddings team who can work with you to build the wedding of your dreams in one of three different locations on site. There were a number of celebrations and family gatherings taking place whilst I was visiting; a couple of spectacular weddings, a family gathering for a 50th wedding anniversary and (my favourite of all) a large gathering for a lady’s 90th birthday. If I get to 90 - I insist on a family gathering in Jamaica - with champagne and chocolate! There are several room options at Moon Palace. I stayed in the entry level room, which was large, airy had the most comfortable bed and excellent WiFi. I had a side sea view. I was welcomed with a bottle of red wine and cava in my room. And hidden away in one of my bedroom cupboards was a mini bar with a selection of optics. I recommend the spiced rum mixed with gi
