Iberostar Fuerteventura Palace 5*
My husband and I were lucky to get a week away, staying in the Iberostar Fuerteventura Palace in Jandia. The resort itself was very quiet with not much around the hotel to see or do. The hotel itself was very nice; the food was lovely and there was a lot of different food to choose from so there was something there for everyone. The staff were very pleasant. The rooms are very spacious, and each

My Holiday with friends
I have not long returned from Halkidiki in Greece. We stayed in a place called Kalives which had a lovely beach but nothing close to the hotel, you needed to get a taxi into any of the towns nearby. The beach was lovely, and you could hire a Cabana on the beach for the whole day for €25 with waiter service so they would come and bring you drinks whenever you needed one. There are all kinds of wat

Weekend away with the Girls
Every year I go away with my friends and we try and find different places to go, but Spain has to be one of our favourites (not a long flights and quite cheap). We always go for an early flight out and a midday one coming home. So this time we stayed in Menorca at a resort called Son Bou which was lovely, the sea was clear blue water, plenty of restaurants and bar's and the beach was amazing

Wedding In Paphos Cyprus
WOW what can I say, I have just come back from escorting a group of my customers to Cyprus for their wedding. The whole holiday/wedding was stress free for my customers so they had nothing to worry about. I had the guys playing a round of golf on the morning of the wedding while the ladies got their last few rays of sunshine by the pool. I arranged a champagne welcome reception for my guest

Paphos In Cyprus
Cyprus, especially Paphos, is one of my favourite destinations as there is so much there to offer every type of holiday maker.

I have stayed in the Paphos Athena Beach, Athena Royal and the Elysium hotels, which are all close to shops and restaurants. Paphos it's self has a lovely harbour with some lovely restauran

Islands in The Maldives
I was very lucky to have the change to visit the Maldives. It’s definitely better than it shows you in the brochures with its crystal clear waters and pure white sand. The sea was just so clear and the fish were so beautiful. The islands are just amazing. I visited eleven islands in five days; including Maafushivaru, Thudufushi, Huvafen Fushi, Bodu Hithi and Centara Grand Island Resort. All

City of Lights - Las Vegas
There we're 10 of us that travelled to Las Vegas to celebrate my brothers 50th birthday, and we had all been to Vegas many times before. We just love the place and this time we stayed in the Mirage Hotel which is a 5* - we all booked 'Strip View' rooms which were lovely and enabled us to look at all the lights from the strip at night. This hotel is right in the centre of the strip so it was a g

Florida & Orlando Family Holiday
This was the first time we had taken our daughters (aged 6 & 8) on a long haul flight so we wanted it to be special, so we decided that we would take them to Florida as it also combined with a conference my husband had to attend at the same time. We stayed in the "Walt Disney Dolphin & Swan Hotel" a 5 * hotel which provided easy access to the parks. We had a lovely room which had two large Queen
