Happy Friday everyone!

Sadly, I am not currently sat on this boat soaking in the seaview & sunshine in Mexico. 😢 But… there is lots going on this next little while: It’s my eldest son birthday tomorrow & we have a very special birthday present for him. Watch this space ✈️🇵🇹🤫

What are your plans for the weekend/week ahead?

❤️ If you would love a Greek adventure this summer.

A great family hotel, the Mediterranean-style Platanista is quietly located just 150 m from the beach and 1 km from Kos Marina. It offers 2 large outdoor pools, spa facilities.

Children can enjoy the shallow pool, the playground, and the organised activities. Guests who want to burn some energy can enjoy a game of tennis or mini golf. After a day of activities and sightseeing, Platanista spa offers massage treatments.

✨ As an independent travel agent I have access to some of the best prices in the market. So please do get in touch if you are planning a holiday near or far. I am very often able get the hotels for less than the best online prices available to you 👍🏻

Want to know what the best job in the world is?!

Easy… being a mum ☺️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Don’t get me wrong, it can so hard some days. But I feel the luckiest person alive to be called mum by these two little legends.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mums out there. Including my own.

Also, thinking of all the amazingly strong women out there who find this day difficult: Like those who have lost their mother. Or those who long to be a mother. 😘

Approximately every 6 weeks the school here in Ireland take a break. The time off lasts from 1 week - the mid terms. All the way up to 9 weeks in the summer holidays.

We tend to take staycation in the summer while the weather is nice. Then head off abroad during the breaks in the colder months.

It’s the Easter break coming up, & the 4 of us are heading over to Portugal for a week.

Do you have any plans for the Easter break?

Long haul flight with little ones…. Not a problem (ish 😜).

Make sure they are fed before getting onboard. Yes, there is normally food but if yours are anything like mine, you can’t guarantee they will eat it 🙄 then

🏃‍♀️ LET. THEM. RUN!!!!!

With some luck with their belly’s full & tiered from running around they will sleep for at least a bit of the flight 🤞🏻

What are your top tips for traveling with kids?
