Ok brave souls, who would you stay here…….?

11/12/2024

Good Morning all. I just want to say a huge thank you to you all for your patience while I was temporarily MIA.

As some of you know, my husband is very unwell in a long battle with cancer, and very unexpectedly got taken into hospital at the end of October, where he remained for a few weeks.
This meant that my working schedule was all over the place (as was my brain if I am being totally honest.....)!

I was of course dealing with any in resort problems, paperwork issues etc, but new enquiries I have not kept fully up with....Sorry!

However, I AM HERE. I am back at my desk and trying my best to catch up with your enquiries.

Please please feel free to give me a nudge if you had made an enquiry with me that I have not got back to you on. I know I am very lucky that most of my clients are long term and repeat clients, and know that this is ABSOLUTELY NOT the norm for me. I am always here, always replying to messages straight away and on the ball.

This kind of rocked our world off its axis for a while though, and it has taken a lot of navigating to steady the ship again!

Thank you for being here, and thank you for your kindness ###

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I am forever grateful to you for trusting me with your travel dreams. This November has been my busiest November since I started working as a travel agent 5 years ago.

I am so grateful to you. Here are the reasons that (I hope) people trust me, and my repeat customer rate is almost double industry standards

🌍 Why Choose Me as Your Travel Agent? 🌍

💼 It’s Personal: I’m not just booking a trip – I’m crafting your perfect adventure.

** I can help you with as little or as much as you like with regard to your trips, holiday extras, excursions, pre-travel hotel, airport parking etc. Just let me know x

✨ Expertise You Can Trust: With years of experience and a passion for travel, I know how to make every detail count.

⏳ Your Time Matters: Leave the planning and research to me so you can focus on what really matters – enjoying your journey.

🤝 Here for You, Always: From start to finish (and even during!), I’m just a call away. My clients know I am never "off duty" (within reasons guys.....a girls gotta sleep...)

💡 Unique Touches: If needed, I try to go beyond the basics to create you something amazing.

Let’s turn your travel dreams into a reality. I’m here to make it happen! ✈️ 🏖️

Im so grateful,

Kerry xx

I have always wanted to go here, so if anyone takes me up on this offer.....can I come?

CAVE HOTEL - AS SEEN ON LIFE BEYOND THE LOBBY 👀📺 Stone Age style with a sophisticated twist 🤩 Argos in Cappadocia

📆 18 November 2024
🌙 7 nights
✈️ Return flights
🥐 Bed & Breakfast

The dining here is as extraordinary as the setting. Imagine waking to leisurely breakfasts of warm-from-the-oven breads, flaky pastries and cooked-to-order omelettes, all while watching brightly coloured hot air balloons float above Cappadocia – nab a window seat for the best views.

Why we love Argos in Cappadocia 😍
✨ Sample Cappadocia wines from the hotel’s vineyard, selected from a cellar holding 70,000 bottles, made from grapes cultivated in volcanically fertilised soil on a terrace with a view of Mount Erciyes.
✨ Fruits from the organic orchards are dried and preserved in the fairy chimneys, or try them fresh in the restaurant’s jams and sauces.
✨ Find an oversized lounger around the infinity pool – the sublime views of the Güvercinlik Valley may distract you from a novel you hoped to get stuck into!
✨ For relaxation, slip away to the spa set in atmospheric ancient caves carved into the rock or rise at dawn for daybreak yoga.

Way out of my comfort zone, but this is way too exciting not to share

Our boutique hotel in Barcelona was exactly the hat we needed after the cruise. An oasis in the heart of the City . Would you like me to help you find your perfect City break? . #barcelona #citybreak #rooftop #rooftopbars #rooftoppool #barcelonahotel #barcelonaspain #ohlabarcelona #hotel #cityviews

When you on board a Virgin voyages cruise, there is a VERY important feature you must know about. Shake for champagne…. Wherever you are on the ship, they will bring you a bottle of champagne and the cost just comes off your pre paid bar tab. disclsimer - this does not work at home. I tried it. My husband just shook his head at me…… . #virginvoyages #shakeforchampagne #virginvaliantlady #cruise #travelagent #trendingtravel
