August already!

August is a busy travel month; its festival month in Edinburgh and holiday month across Europe. If you are seeking a quiet, relaxed holiday - think off the beaten track Europe. Perhaps a Greek Island tour? A visit to the Baltic states? Or a couple of weeks taking in the fresh mountain air of the Dolomites or Tyrol?

Further afield, August is a wonderful time to visit Yellowstone National Park, the weather is good and you’ve a great chance of seeing grizzly, wolves and bison. Still in the States, August is one of the best months for whale watching off the west coast - especially Orca by Washington State.

Cruises in the Med and North America are super popular in August. Now is the time to book for summer 2025 (and 2026 - many cruise lines have their schedule out already)

If you want to get away over Christmas or New Year, this is your last call for booking! It’s been such a wet summer in the UK that people are desperate for a bit of winter sun; consequently hotels and flights for winter holidays are filling rapidly.

If you want to escape the winter dark and chill for a couple of weeks - BOOK NOW!!

Happy August everyone! Wishing you a happy, joy-filled month ahead 🌍 ❤️

There used to be a Tony Macaroni Italian quite near to my mum’s in Lanarkshire.

No offence, but I’d take this conch shack in the Bahamas over a bolognese in East Kilbride any day of the week!

How about you? East Kilbride or Freeport? It’s a tough one 🤔 🤨🧐😎
