25.01.2022 Only 6 days left to go. Dont miss out! Who knows what may land under your Christmas tree?? :)

24.01.2022 I tell all my clients "dont try to jam too much into an itinerary - give yourself time to enjoy it". Or "do as I say, not as I do".Im an agent - its in my DNA. See absolutely everything and sleep on the way home - I never know when Ill get back - there is always somewhere else to try. My travel buddy is non-industry. Poor lass doesnt know what shes in for. In my defense Ive tried to warn her. So heres what were aiming to cover in 7 nights. ... Use a rail pass. Buy sector fares. Travel economy class. Experience a sector in green class. Bus trip to Mt Fuji with all-you-can eat visit to a cherry-picking farm, wine-tasting, visit to the 5th Station and a hot-pot lunch. Try out luggage-forwarding service. Easy or difficult?? Bullet train to Nagano. Full-day one-way Alpine Route from Nagano to Toyama, with a connecting train to Takayama. Were at the right time of year to see the Snow Wall - cant wait - though have warned Zoe Im prone to "complain bitterly" about the cold. Zoe has packed ear-plugs so she doesnt have to listen to me. Full-day one-way trip via Shirakawa-go and Kenrokuen Garden to Kyoto.Bullet train to Hiroshima in the morning. Join a sightseeing-by-bike tour of Hiroshima. Do I even remember how to ride a bike? Peace Memorial Museum in the afternoon. Morning train to Tadanoumi, connect with ferry to Bunny Island (Okunoshima). Then take ferry and make another 3 rail connections back to Kyoto. Head up to the Gion district for dinner. I spend most of my day firmly seated on my bottom in front of a computer - will my legs take this sort of daily punishment? Morning train to SagaArashiyama. 4 hour bike tour of Kyoto including the Bamboo Grove. Taxi up a big hill to the Arashiyama Monkey Park.Taxi back down to the Saga Torroko station and then jump on the scenic "Romantic Sagano Train" to Kameoka. Walk to JR Umahori station and then take a multi-train connection to Osaka. Were staying at one of the famous Henn na Robot Hotels. I expect to be intensely disappointed if there isnt a dinosaur checking us in, so watch this space. Train connection on the same evening to Osaka Castle for night viewing of Sakuya Lumina. Next morning dress up like cartoon character and drive a Go-Kart around the streets of Osaka, Mario style. We cant back out - weve already arranged the international drivers licences. Time for the famous Osaka Kuramon Market. Finish off with a Foodie Tour of Osaka - holy moly these tours are expensive - are they worth it? Then the Nankai Rapi:t from Namba to the airport. 15 minutes to retrieve luggage before checking in. Did you know there are SIX train stations with Namba in the name in Osaka? Sort of like Russian-Roulette, but instead of having one chance of shooting yourself in the head youve got five chances of missing your flight home. Hope Zoe still speaks to me

22.01.2022 Oh this is why I love Sri Lanka!! Can you actually imagine? You'd be looking at your cocktail after a day's game drive at Yala thinking "exactly WHAT did they put IN this thing??" https://twitter.com/i/status/1218924372976656386

17.01.2022 VIKING ORION - Ship Inspection Report. Viking began as an operator of River Cruise Ships, and currently have 62 in operation. When they decided to build Ocean Ships, they started by emailing every past passenger on their River Cruises database and asking them what features they loved on Ocean Cruise Ships, and what features they loathed. The collated information was used to design and build what is now six Viking Ocean Ships in operation, with orders for another nine. ...Continue reading

16.01.2022 If youre thinking of travelling at Christmas/New Year, you need to get your skates on NOW! Flights are loaded and accommodation is available. Get in early and youll have choices and less expensive prices. If you think that by waiting you will get specials for travel at that time of year, thats just a CROC. Boom tissssh!

16.01.2022 Im glad they had the common sense to run. Id have been the twit standing there flat-footed saying "coooool" and end up free-surfing. https://youtu.be/8RT2r6RcSmo

15.01.2022 Travelling with kids - weve all been there.

15.01.2022 Would you kindly consider sharing on your personal and/or business pages? Thank you!!

13.01.2022 This is a BestJet cashflow schematic provided by the BestJet administrators. The mind boggles. Travel agencies that bear the ATAS symbol have met strict financial criteria in order to become nationally accredited. Their accreditation means they are the best in the industry; credible, well trained and a professional business. BestJets ATAS participation was cancelled on 21 March 2016. ... There are still major non-ATAS online ticket agencies selling into the Australian market. Heres where you can check if your agent (or online booking site) is ATAS accredited. www.atas.com.au

12.01.2022 Before travelling to Japan I thought I had a pretty good idea of what it was all about. Temples, shrines, sushi, sashimi, tea ceremonies, Geisha and a pretty mountain. I was mildly interested in the place and went with an open mind. BOOM! Re-educated. Travel does that to you.

12.01.2022 Kuronagi Onsen Ryokan in Japan. Website is in Japanese, but thank heavens for Google Translation!!

11.01.2022 When only the best will do. Rolls Royce Phantom pick-up from Hong Kong airport. Its blue! How fabulous! Thanks for the pics AG. (Travel agent occasionally lives vicariously - and jealously - through her clients.)

08.01.2022 Takayama. Highly recommended.

08.01.2022 A night in Africa!!

07.01.2022 Zoe Spens-Black Dont read this one if youre hungry!!

06.01.2022 Heres one for the "Did You Know...." files. Taiwan has a chain of themed Toilet Restaurants. Yes - you read that correctly. Everything from the food to the decor is themed - well - you know. Toilet humour - I know you lot wont be able to help yourselves so knock yourselves out.

06.01.2022 Donate to Rural Aid in the lead-up to Christmas and you could WIN! You may need to open a browser to access the website: www.flightsforfodder.com.au

05.01.2022 So many fabulous rail trips! Africa...Russia...Canada. How many great Swiss train journeys can you fit into a 12 night itinerary? Ooooh just ask me!

05.01.2022 Shirakawago and Kenrokuen Gardens near Kanazawa. Japanese lunch.

05.01.2022 Its SO hard not to be distracted when youre a travel agent. One minute youre constructing an itinerary for Japan, the next minute an email notification goes bing and suddenly its "WHAT THE?? Is that a DOUBLE-edged infinity pool?? No WAY!! Where is it? How much?? " So as we head into hump day - in a week where the reality of heading back to work is just kicking in for many of us - I introduce you to Naka Island Resort and Spa off Phuket. Dont hate me.

03.01.2022 If you come to Japan with kids, Okunoshima Island is a must. P.S. fully grown adults have been know to issue childlike squeals of delight when faced with a full-on bunny swarm. No names.

03.01.2022 When a favourite client video-calls from a beach bar in Phu Quoc especially to show me the surroundings. Drinking a $1 beer in a quiet beachfront bar as the palm fronds rustle in the breeze. No crazy built-up tourist mecca here - just a sleepy village. Sitting here in my winter jumper I strangely find I have lost the will to work for the rest of the afternoon.

03.01.2022 EXPERIENCE JAPAN has just donated 2 x $50 movie cards as prizes!! Mihoko is not only one of the most experienced experts on Japan in the trade but also a gene...rous soul - thank you Mihoko. A teeny tiny $2 will get you in the draw for one of these movie passes.
