One of my most memorable holidays was a week in Karesuando, Finland on an Arctic Spirit adventure, I really cannot recommend this experience enough!

I wasn’t sure where to go this year, knew I wanted sunshine, all inclusive, some nice beaches and a bit of luxury so I went to Sandals Royal Caribbean in Jamaica and it was an excellent choice. I think you would find it hard to find a friendlier island in the Caribbean. Within around 45 […]

My trip started with the best surprise, a Business Class upgrade from Qantas! This meant fast track security, access to the lounge and the best bit a seat on the plane which converted into a fully flatbed!

We took off with United Airlines from Heathrow Terminal 2 at 10:35 Thursday morning after a relaxing 2 hours in the airport lounge tasting some great food and a cocktail or two. The flight was about […]
