As a Virgin First Mate I found this in my work ‘inbox’ which amused me. Virgin Voyages launch in April 2020 on a rotation of 4 or 5 night voyages from Miami. The Scarlet Lady hasn’t been launched yet but the voyages are open for sale. Virgin are reinventing the cruise experience and no children are allowed. Apparently there will be a resident Tattoo Artist … Continue reading South Dakota – Open letter from Sir Richard Branson
Really exciting if you are visiting Disneyworld or Disneyland this summer as Disney has announced the opening dates for it’s hugely anticipated Star Wars Galaxy Edge theme lands.

See if you agree with this list and if not let me have your nominations. 1. Grand Canyon I was surprised to discover that the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in Tennessee and North Carolina is the most visited but that must be with mainly US visitors the most iconic must be the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. It stretches a … Continue reading 5 Best Attractions in America
Just announced in the L.A Times that Disney have increased admission charges and car park charges increased …again! So now you know who is funding the new Star Wars Galaxy Edge attraction …..YOU ARE! Does Disney need to charge every parked car $25 per day? The rates if you are interested are up by up to 25% and apparently after raising them by 18% in … Continue reading Disneyland Resort Price Increases
I came across a list of the most Christmassy cities across the States, some are obvious choices and others seem quite random…that is unless you are part of the planning committee. I think that America does Christmas fantastically and somehow it seems genuine and that effort and thought is put into the spectacle. By State Alabama – Huntsville – See Santa’s Village at the Train … Continue reading US States -Christmassy Cities to Visit
Info: Cost to enter for the day is approximately £50 per person for the base entry but there are plenty of add ons to pre purchase on different tickets. Travel time is around 90 minutes from Orlando area and is easily combined with an evening in Cocoa Beach. After a dozen visits to the Sunshine State we split into two parties.

Recently we visited Disney Springs, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and The Magic Kingdom. We were lucky with the weather and although armed with Niagara Falls Ponchos they weren’t required.

We actually got on … Continue reading Walt Disney World Florida

I know this is out of order and I still need to finish the Boston blogs but here I sit ‘again’ in Gatwick departures with my nearest and dearest waiting to board British Airways to Fort Lauderdale. We are staying in Champions Gate in a four bedroomed, three bathroom house with spa, pool and playroom. We have access to the resort facilities that include a … Continue reading Florida Vacay – 01 Sep – 10 Sep 18
