It is a 16 hour flight from the UK to Bali. Emirates now flies to Denpasar, so it could be a good idea to break up the journey and fly there via Dubai to reduce the jet lag. When describing Bali all I can say is “wow” what a beautiful place especially for it’s natural beauty…

How would I describe Dubai? “Simply Addictive”.
How would I describe Dubai: one word comes to mind “Simply addictive”. I have been going to Dubai now for over ten years and I still love it now as much I did when I first visited. Why? Because you know what to expect and it feels like home away from home. It is a…
Don’t be ashamed of being bullied it is not your fault!!
We don’t see a lot of facts about childhood bullying but a recent report estimated that over 60% of children have been bullied either verbally, mentally or physically during their school life. Approximately 16,000 children miss school per year because of bullying or fear of being bullied. 10% of children attempt suicide and 30% have…
Westin Kaanapali Ocean resort Hawaii. Beware of the OWNERS!! Hawaii was great though!!
After hearing about Hawaii over the years and watching Magnum and Hawaii Five-O, it had always been a place on my bucket list to visit. I was not looking forward to the 18 hour flight so broke up the journey via Los Angeles. On arriving at Maui airport we were greeted with Hawaiian music and…
Rude, arrogant shop assistants and waiters who feel they are too good to serve you. What’s happening to this world?
Who doesn’t like shopping in high-end boutiques and eating at the best restaurants? There is no better feeling. Have you ever gone into a high-end store like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Louboutin or maybe Gucci? You want a new dress, a designer hand bag or a new pair of shoes. You might be getting them because…
Qatar Airways: Have the “Je ne sais quoi”
I have been flying Qatar Airways for a few years now and I have to say they have the “je ne sais quoi” factor. Everything is just that little bit better than with all the other airlines. Let me start with the lounge at Heathrow airport. As you enter the lounge you are met with…
St Regis Bal Harbour: Love hate Relationship
I have to say at the beginning of this blog that I am not a big fan of Miami. Even though the weather is fabulous, it is really a little bit run-down for a US state. The airport is probably one of the worst in the world for international flights. My anecdotal evidence is that…
American Airlines- First Class, Average at best !!!
I think the recent Emirates Airline TV advert with Jennifer Aniston starring in the main role just about sums up the drawbacks of American Airlines. Lol. I fly American Airlines First Class very often for US domestic flights only. After seeing how bad the customer service is on board American Airline flights I now understand…
Commuting to work can kill you? No its the commuters that are killing us!!
A study was published recently claiming that commuting to work for over an hour a day can lead to stress and depression. I totally agree after commuting for 15 years. I nearly had a breakdown on a daily basis because of this — and all before 9am without a coffee. How do we…
W Maldives – The most memorable experience of my life.
I have travelled most of the world and have always been put off going to the Maldives as I could not justify the extortionate prices to stay there. I always thought why would it be that great, what am I paying for, why is it so expensive, will the service even be good? So this…
