TV is awash with holiday adverts as it always is at this time of year. One advert I've noticed quite a few times is "On the Beach" who are offering free airport lounge access on certain holidays. Sounds great but it may not be common knowledge that "On the Beach" are no longer part of the ABTA scheme so your level of protection is significantly reduced. As the old saying goes .... "Buyer Beware".
I'm here to help, free of charge, so get in touch if you want me help source your dream holiday.

We've had a great cruise and have been to Vigo, Madeira, Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote. On our way back north now and will be making our final stop in Lisbon tomorrow. Still very warm and we are sunbathing on the Aft deck 17 and having a drink (or two). I have taken loads of video footage and will be editing and publishing when I get home.

Hi everyone. I'm guessing that most of you will have taken your summer holidays by now so maybe it's time to start looking at 2024? I wish I had a crystal ball to tell you if prices will go up or down but unfortunately I don't! My best guess is that the cost of flights, hotels, cruises and package holidays will continue to rise albeit a little more slowly than the past 12 months. Remember if you book you 2024 holidays now you "lock in" the price thus protecting you from any increases in the future. I'm here to help at no additional cost to you so drop me a message if I can be of assistance.

Good morning all. I've finally finished my first video. Please excuse my poor camera work and clunky editing! I'm a novice at this malarkey but enjoying it immensely so hopefully practice makes perfect and I'll get better over time. My favourite part of the video is about 15 seconds in when my wife gives a little squeak of excitement. Makes me chuckle every time I hear it! Anyway I have more to edit and publish so please subscribe to my Channel for further updates.

Our first ever cruise and we loved it!

Maybe I'm a little naive but the drinks package and internet prices on Royal Caribbean cruises seem pretty high. What do you think?
