The turning of the Fagus is one sight you won’t find anywhere in New Zealand. Put on your puffer jacket, known as a Tasmanian tuxedo, and enjoy the crisp, fresher than fresher air while taking in this stunning view of the Barn Bluff framed by the Fagus leaves in all their autumn
glory.

Lots of adventure to be had in Los Angeles ……
I’ve come back with some great ideas 💡 for my clients for how to make the most of your trip ✔️

👙
👙
👠
💍
👑
🛍️💲💥

Top tips:
💥 Look for a hotel with a spa or pool it’s a great way to unwind after a busy day
💥Universal front of line is a game changer (beats waiting in line for up to 240 minutes per ride)
💥Download the and apps as these will save you lots of 💲💲💲 remember to load your NZ credit card as all payments are charged to this card (some currency cards can be used but check first)
💥Be sure to check your check in and check out times as most flights return in the evening from NZ and if you don’t have a room booked ensure you can store bags
💥Hiring bikes 🚲 is a super fun way of exploring the beach 🏖️ front

Cruising the Mexican 🇲🇽 Riviera from Long Beach California to Los Cabo’s, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan , Ensenada

Top tips:
💲I always recommend my clients book a holiday within their travels as travelling is fun but often tiring 😜 even if it’s only a few days of R&R
💲Book a balcony room if your budget can stretch that far
💲Add on the drinks package even if it’s just soft drinks (but on this ship the cocktails 🍸 were amazing) add wifi if you want to keep in touch while away as the daily rates are expensive (but you can get roaming when on shore)
💲A card with foreign currency loaded like Travelex is the bomb 💣 and makes things easy
💲If travelling with children take advantage of activities that help burn 🔥 energy - also great for the adults to burn all the calories you consume on the ship 😂
💲Take good walking shoes 👟 and a sense of humour
💲Prebook shore excursions or tours in general to save time and ensure you get the options you want!!

We loved ❤️ our cruise 🚢 something for everyone and so much choice …. Some cool videos to follow on the different ports but below some pictures taken on the 7 days

Famous Arch and whale watching in Los Cabo
Self tour in Puerto Vallarta
Segway tour in Mazatlan

Look out for the changes if you are heading to the Nelson Airport New Zealand - the value parking entrance and exit has changed

From Tuesday 5 December, the access point to the Value Carpark at Nelson Airport is changing. A new road provides a simpler single entry and exit point to Value parking. Vehicles exiting Value will need to turn left and follow the ring road to leave the airport, as they do now. Please take extra care and follow the new directional signage.
