Christmas market season is just around the corner and I’m going to check out a few of the German ones for you in a couple of weeks time.

I’m going to be sailing on the Rhine with Arosa on one of their newest ships, Arosa Clea and we will be visiting Cologne, Rudesheim, Mainz, Frankfurt and Koblenz and checking out what their Christmas Markets have to offer.

River cruise ships are perfect for city breaks as the river always goes through the heart of a city (or rather the city is built up around the river over time) so I won’t have far to walk go get in to the thick of the action. A city break would give you a few days in one place but I get to visit 5 places in 5 days and only need to unpack once! How cool is that??

In all seriousness - yes! losing your luggage is not fun and luckily it doesn't happy all the time but it can happen even on direct flights so it pays to be prepared.

I am the absolute queen of lost luggage (as anyone who follows my social media will know about) so I do always advise people to pack carefully and to pack their hand luggage with the assumption that your checked luggage will not arrive for 48 hours. Hopefully that won’t happen, most of the time cases do arrive as planned however it is advisable to be prepared. If it is delayed, it would be useful to have a change of clothes, swim wear, flip flops, any medication, basic toiletries etc etc in your hand luggage. It pays to be prepared.

Things that you can do to help mitigate issues:

- Have a tracker/airtag in your luggage.
- Put your full home address INSIDE the case as it makes it easier to return if it does go AWOL.
- Take a photo of each case as you check them in. If you need to complete a lost luggage form you’ll need to know make and colour of each case and photographs help.
- If you luggage fails to arrive please ensure you complete the forms at the airport – do NOT leave without doing this.

What a whirlwind 24 hours in Abu Dhabi. We arrived late at night and transferred to our downtown hotel. After a good nights sleep, and an early start we decided to follow the ultimate 1 day Abu Dhabi itinerary as suggested by on Instagram.

We started by heading to the Sheihk Zayed Grand Mosque. The dress code here is particularly strict and if you don’t conform you will not be allowed to enter without buying an abaya (hooded cloak). The mosque was beautiful, elegant and opulent.

Next was the Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental hotel, one for the very wealthy! We strolled around the reception and lobby areas and the cafes, all very impressive.

We walked from here to the presidential palace Qasr Al Watan which was an excellent choice. I thoroughly enjoyed the incite into the governing traditions of the UAE.

Corniche beach was a short hop away where we stopped for lunch at the Cabana beach bar and a quick paddle before we headed over to Saadiyat island and the Louvres museum and art gallery.

Sadly the drone show mentioned in the itinerary stopped some time ago so we had a drink overlooking the water before heading back to downtown.

We did, of course, dine at the excellent .ae where we received the warmest welcome and a super extensive menu with a Lebanese and Italian influence. Delicious food and only a 20 minute walk back to our hotel.

Monday motivation and the start of another week. I do pride myself in responding quickly to my clients and will try and respond to any urgent WhatsApp messages when I am awake. Emails I will generally leave until I am at my desk but if you message me on WhatsApp I will presume you need a quick response to something.

Maybe I’m a fool for being too available but I do find it is noticed and appreciated by my clients. After all, it’s that personal touch that sets apart the online booking portals and a human travel agent. You won’t get Tui, jet2 or easyJet holidays responding to your questions late in the evening do you? 🤣

It’s time for Testimonial Tuesday and I love arranging travel for this client. He’s so easy to deal with, quick to communicate and flexible with decisions and budget. The upgrade? We are often able to get good upgrades for our clients, it’s one of the perks of booking with me, that personal touch.

Last week I was in Grindelwald, Switzerland, hosted by Inghams and the Swiss tourist board exploring what the Jungfrau region has to offer for tourists and holidaymakers.

We flew into Zurich and, armed with the Swiss Travel Pass, we headed up to the mountains travelling first class on the very efficient Swiss rail system via Interlaken.

Staying at the superbly located Hotel Derby (right by the train station) we were in walking distance of the Grindelwald-First gondola and also the shops, bars and restaurants of the town. The hotel offers a variety of room types, most with excellent Mountain View’s. The hotel has a friendly bar and a welcoming restaurant.

Outside, there is a sign advertising that they offer the best fondue in town and they didn’t disappoint. It was indeed excellent. Served with potatoes, picked onions and gherkins as well as the obligatory bread cubes and the consistency of the melted Swiss cheese was perfect.
