Korea – Unkovered!

KOREA UNKOVERED I’d never thought much about Korea before – it wasn’t featured in many brochures, nobody asked about it – so when the Korean Tourism Office invited me to come and take a look I didn’t hesitate! Frustratingly I looked for information to learn a little before I left, but what I found was…

Beautiful Boston and ‘F’abulous Philly

BEAUTIFUL BOSTON AND FABULOUS PHILLY by Trish and Sadie Hi Becca and Charmaine Thank you for arranging another fabulous holiday, everything was perfect.

Guadeloupe Islands – The French West Indies

GUADELOUPE ISLANDS THE FRENCH WEST INDIES Guadeloupe!! What springs to mind? I imagined small islands, back to nature, remote villages and ‘the real Caribbean’ with a touch of French flair.
