Liz’s January thoughts
In case you have not heard, there are major changes happening at Gatwick Airport. From 24th January, all Easyjet and Virgin Atlantic flights will depart from the north terminal and British Airways flights will depart from the South Terminal. For all other airlines, it is advised to check before travel on the Gatwick Airport website

Well, despite all uncertainly surrounding Brexit and the effect this will have on the value of the pound, I have been very busy with bookings in January. The prices seem to have held, largely helped by the British Airways and Virgin Atlantic sales, but please note that this will not last. I booked a couple to the Caribbean this week and got almost the exact same price as last year, like for like, despite the fall of the pound against the dollar. Prices will go up and capacity has been cut, so if you are thinking of grabbing a last minute bargain, you will be disappointed. My advice is to book your 2017 holiday early.
Last month, I talked about Canada as a desirable destination . Touch wood, largely trouble free, it is vast country where you could just imagine escaping from the madness. On the east coast, you have Montreal and Quebec City, all very chic and French with excellent food! There is also the wonderful ski resort of Tremblant, great for beginners and families as it has wide open pistes and great accommodation. A fairly short flight away and good value. Further north, you can explore Newfoundland, which is similar to New England and you can visit the home of Anne of Green Gables and explore the Gros Morne National park for its wildlife or explore Halifax, Digby and St John’s for an insight into history of the first settlers and the slave trade.
Out west, Vancouver and Vancouver Island are the gateways to the Rockies, which you can visit by car (an easy drive) or on the famous Rocky Mountaineer train from which you may spot black bears, elk, deer and eagles. Canada is full of incredible wildlife. The train takes you to the Rocky mountains where there are the great ski resorts of Banff and Jasper in the winter, but the fantastic lakes and national parks beckon the rest of the year. Excellent for family holidays, especially if you like the great outdoors.
So,one idea to inspire you. Next month, I shall be talking about Costa Rica.
I look forward to your enquiries.
