The office manager having a happy morning on the way to the post box .................... 😀😀

Glad you had a good time... thanks for the google review.... 😀😃 When we decided to go to Dubai & Mauritius we contacted Mark and talked through our plans. He listened to what we had to say and then he suggested an itinerary which then evolved through our discussions. Once agreed, all the paperwork was issued and we have just returned from one of the best holidays ever! Mark sorted every detail and he even made sure that the hotel in Mauritius had the correct room allocated to us through constant communication with them. I can thoroughly recommend Mark to plan and organise your travel plans - he is a true professional with decades of experience and is a lovely person to deal with. Without doubt, we will use Mark next time!

Forward planning ! .... Cunard has released details of its 2024 programme covering departures between April 2024 and January 2025, featuring more than 190 cruises including the revised maiden voyage of Queen Anne.

"Following on from the latest government announcement which allows lateral flow tests to be used as Day 2, we are pleased to announce the lateral flow pricing for home delivery kits has been reduced to £19.99 per test. Using your discount code [AITO43], the price will be £17.50. 2022 is the year to get away.... 'Where would you rather be..?..'
