It's always fantastic to receive some positive feedback - Thank you so much (you know who you are 😍)

"Audrey has made our dream trip come true! 2 years of no holidays really makes you appreciate the whole world out there. Audrey made it so easy as she knew exactly what we wanted, worked within our budget and then we decided to smash our budget because we wanted to make sure we got it right for a once in a life time trip. We will never be able to thank her enough for her help. We can’t wait to book many many more trips with her in the future."

Hi Everyone 👋 , hope you are all keeping your chins up high and looking forward to getting out and about really soon!

I know travel isn't possible right this minute but I'm pretty sure we all can't wait to have a change of scenery, even in the UK and when we can travel again, it's going to be very better than before!!! 🥂🏝

😍 I'm here if you want to run through future travel plans with me, it's great to have something to look forward to, even travel for 2022 or 2023!

I had to share this link with you all - I do love my stationary and how brilliant is this Travel organiser, by Avon - a shout out to my fab sister-in-law Vicky for sending me her link - who wants one 🙋‍♀️✈

*** Important travel update for arrivals back to the UK ***

Effective from 04: 00am on Friday 15th January:

The UK government have introduced pre-departure testing requirements for all inbound passengers to the UK. Passengers arriving by ship, plane or train will have to take a test up to 3 days before departure and provide evidence of a negative result both at check in and the UK border. This includes all UK nationals returning home.
• Passengers travelling to England from the Common Travel Area (the United Kingdom, Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey), will not be required to follow this guidance.
• There will be a very restricted number of exemptions, including hauliers to allow the free flow of freight, and air, international rail and maritime crew.
• Children under the age of 11 will also not be required to complete pre-departure testing.
• The requirement for testing for arrivals from Antigua/Barbuda, Barbados & St Lucia has been extended until 0400am on Thursday 21st January.
• All passengers arriving from countries that are not included on the UK government's travel corridor list, will still be required to self-isolate for up to 10 days on arrival regardless of the PCR test result.

More comprehensive information about test requirements is expected to be published on the GOV.UK website over the next few days.

I'm always available if you would like any help with Travel

Audrey was our Travel Counsellor during the first wave of COVID19 restrictions, when it was unknown about how this affected our pre-booked travelling.

She kept us informed leading up to our departure, and advised of the rules and forms we needed to know about.

Throughout our holiday Audrey always answered any queries efficiently, chased up any issues we had locally,
and gave us the confidence we required in the uncertain situation.

Audrey is a lovely people person and highly recommended by us.

😍 Had a fantastic family week away in Jersey at the end of August. Here’s some ideas for you:

🛳 we caught the Poole to Jersey Condor ferry, which gives you prebooked seats, there are options to upgrade to other lounge areas too! The journey takes 4 hours on a catamaran, there’s an outside area too for fresh air! We all wore face masks inside and seating was all done with social distancing, options around tables or rows of seats.

🏡 we stayed in the parish of Trinity, on the Northern coast - self catering. There are so many options, with beautiful areas to stay, hotels, apartments, cottages, glamping or camping!

🚗 a car is a great option to get out and about, the island is only 9 miles x 5 miles, speed limit is generally 30/40mph!
Parking is easy & cheap too! Either take your own or hire one!

🍽 fantastic variety of eating options: food to suit all, Seafood, steaks, sushi, Thai, Indian to mention a few, from cafes to Michelin starred restaurants, even your well known chains, McDonalds, KFC, TGI Fridays, Pizza Express!
A must is a Jersey Afternoon tea & of course jersey ice cream too 🍰🍦

🏖 amazing beaches: white or red sandy beaches to stoney ones!
My favourites would be Plémont Bay (enjoyed jumping the waves & board boarding) in the north, St Brelades bay (excellent for families) & Portelet bay south, St Ouens bay ‘5 mile beach’ on the west coast (watch the kite surfing or learn the surf yourself)! All have free parking and cafes on hand!
The island is very tidal so always check for high tide times!

What else is there to do?
🚶‍♀️ lots of walking trails, you can even do the coastal walk, over 40miles!
🚴‍♀️ plenty of cycle routes, you can hire bikes or take them with you!
🦧 Jersey Zoo
🏰 so much history here, castles, war bunkers, military museums, maritime museums. My favourites were Mont Orgueil castle at Gorey and Elizabeth castle at St Helier - a must do is to walk the causeway at low tide at least one way!
⛵️lots of water sports and boat trips available
You can visit nearby Islands of Sark, Guernsey or the tiny island of Les Ecrehoes!
⏰still got time ... Corbiere Lighthouse, Escape room, Zip wire, Archery or shopping in St Helier!

If you’d like to know more, please just give me a call and I can suggest places to stay, where to eat and get you there ✈️🛳 and of course advice on the current Covid situation!
