I flew Virgin Atlantic to Las Vegas and although it was a long journey the hostesses were superb and treated us very well. I stayed in two hotels during my trip. My first was The Westgate. The first thing I saw as I walked in was all those shiny glitzy slot machines winking at me! [...]
I’ve seen 10 times more table mountains than Cape Town, Canyons bigger than the Grand Canyon in America, Sand Dunes higher than the Pyramids in Egypt and 1000 more seals on the beach than Kangaroo Island in Australia! Where have I been? Namibia! When you think that nothing more can move you, when you think [...]
Today I cried. It was unexpected. First it was tears of fear and sadness, then it was tears of joy – an acceptance of life, and death, in the wild, wild bush of Africa. The Circle of Life. It was dawn, we were out in a comfy safari jeep – just passed a family of [...]

From the Black Forest in Germany to the Black Sea in Romania, the Danube flows and meanders “sparkling blue”, through fabulous European cities and countryside – farms, vineyards, and little villages.

Just 15 miles off the coast of Venezuela in the Caribbean sea are the Dutch Antilles, and its 3 most westerly islands are the ABC islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. Aruba’s location outside the hurricane belt makes it the perfect place for year-round sunshine – and that’s why we call it One Happy Island! [...]
Hawaii has changed, we had not been there for 20 years… so it was like seeing it for the first time. It’s about 4 hours from the West Coast of USA which makes it easy to break your journey in Los Angeles or San Francisco (or both!) We loved Oahu because it is a good [...]
Island Hopping in the Greek Islands! Sounds so exciting and I was off to “hop” to three of the twenty four unspoilt islands of Alonissos, Skopelos and Skiathos which make up the Sporades Archipelago. It was an easy journey from Gatwick to Skiathos with Enter Air. All very smooth and the staff were extremely friendly [...]
To some it is a modern-day Gomorrah, but whatever your view, Las Vegas is a fascinating experience, if only to marvel at the brash vulgarity and total unreality of it all. For us it was the starting point of a three week, 2500 mile self-drive tour, which took us to some of the most [...]
Some places make you want to jump for joy! Some places make you want to sing! And some places just bring out the poet in you. A place that is beautiful A place that is calm A place where the stingrays Do you no harm. A place that is hot Yet relaxing, so pretty A tiny, little island – Not [...]
