Well that’s a wrap for tonight!
It’s been a busy old day today. I’ve been kept occupied with quotes and holiday bookings for AbuDhabi, Dubai, Thailand, Canaries & Paris. Inbound groups from Orlando and Düsseldorf. And some business trips to Islamabad, Karachi, Amsterdam, Bhutan, Italy, Glasgow & Edinburgh also in the mix.
I’ve also managed to pop out for a short trip to the dentist for my mum. Lunch at my desk and dinner was a quick bowl of pasta kindly made by my hubby.
Closing the laptop for the night and will be back at my desk bright and early tomorrow ready to start it all again. God but I love my job!!
