After our incredible 2023 Greek Island Glow cruise with Virgin Voyages, we couldn’t resist taking advantage of their ‘My Next Virgin Voyages’ offer! We put down a $300 deposit while onboard and received $600 in onboard credit – what a deal! We kept an eye out for a good sale and jumped on the English …
This was our first holiday after leaving teaching so was different travelling in term time! We enjoyed Berlin and wanted to revisit Germany, which was handy as by the time we decided to go away there were not many Avios Reward Seats left on the dates we wanted to go. Despite Paul injuring himself on …
This was our first ‘long’ holiday abroad since 2019 and our first-ever cruise, so we weren’t sure what to expect (other than what we’d seen on YouTube). We flew to Athens a few days before the cruise to explore Athens and make sure that we were in time for Virgin Voyages’s newest ship at the …
Our last holiday abroad was back in 2019, and Berlin was on our bucket list before the pandemic started. So we re-started our overseas travels where we had meant to. We have never visited Germany, let alone Berlin. As we collect Avios again, we booked a British Airways holiday, staying at the Hilton for three …
After the tricky few years of lockdowns and Covid precautions, we were not quite ready for a holiday abroad. We wanted to revisit Monmouth as we had seen it briefly the year before so booked three nights. When our trip to Highclere Castle with John’s sister had to be changed due to Covid, we bolted …
We’d never visited the coastline here and the reduction in restrictions gave us an opportunity to explore. We booked an Airbnb to explore the Western areas of the county and then the Hog’s Head Inn in Alnwick for the northern and eastern parts.
A bit of a strange holiday as it was quite tricky to even have a holiday this year! It was a chance to get away and also see family. We picked a few location attractions to visit, which we had not done before when visiting such as the Canonteign Falls.
It was Feliz Navidad for us after a visit to the same area in the summer. We had a different kind of Christmas this year and decided to jet off to Barcelona, staying at TWO Hotel Barcelona by Axel. Sadly we both got food poisoning on Christmas morning, which put a dampener on the holiday!
We had Sitges on our bucket list for quite some time before visiting. We couldn’t decide if to couple it with Barcelona but in the end, we decided to keep it separate. It was very warm and we had some nice days on the beach and exploring the small town. We stayed at the Hotel …
There wasn’t even a pandemic but we had to forfeit a holiday this year! We’d moved house a few months before and so decided to have a staycation as the cattery was full. It gave us a chance to explore the area a bit more!
