If you are reading this post it probably has not escaped your notice that I have not written a blog post for years! In fact, not since COVID times.

That may have cost me some business, as prospective clients will no doubt have checked out my website and Facebook page before contacting me about their travel requirements.

Recently a friend asked for some tips to manage jet lag. Personally, I do not take medication to help me sleep, or melatonin, preferring to manage my body clock myself. Below are my tips, based on 25+ years of frequent air travel and time differences to manage.

Here are some of the top reasons from seasoned travellers, as to why travelling with hand luggage only, is their preference.

Since no-one reads to the bottom of long blog posts, I decided to split this into two, particularly as I have three more briefs to cover!

Recently I asked a group of ladies, what would be their idea of a romantic weekend away. Since their answers were all quite different, I decided to choose one property that I think might suit each brief.
