SJP Holidays

Michelle contacted me back in 2020 to discuss a potential dream trip to experience Canada’s great outdoors with lifelong friends, Denise and Jeanette. Originally planned for the following year, the pandemic delayed their trip until summer 2022, but it certainly turned out to be worth the wait... A packed, two-week Canadian adventure with my best friends, encompassing a variety of experiences and seeing some essential places was the brief - and Susan totally nailed it. It was

I was delighted to be back in this beautiful country for the first time since 2019. And for my ninth visit, I was keen to visit some previously unexplored places. I had briefly visited Bol, on the island of Brac, on a previous cruise and remembered being very impressed, so it seemed the ideal place to start. We flew to Split and transferred to the ferry terminal for a 50-minute trip to Supetar on the northern side of the island, followed by an hour's drive over to Bol. Altho

I have had the pleasure of looking after Sara and Steve since 2013, and have booked them holidays to various destinations, such as South America, China and Russia.

St Mary's Ferry Quay Like many, I have been unable to embark upon planned long haul holidays but needing a change of scenery, I jumped at the opportunity when a supplier had a late cancellation for a week on the Isles of Scilly. It was not somewhere familiar to me but those people I know that had been all loved it and I am delighted to report that I did too. To make it feel authentic, where part of the fun is in reaching your destination, we drove to Penzance and stayed overn

Undoubtedly one of the most diverse and inspirational destinations, South America is perfect for touring, whether on a private basis or as part of a small group. Whilst on the seas, I managed to spend a season cruising around the continent to get a flavour, but I am keen to revisit, as the Galápagos Islands and the Nazca Lines in Peru are on my bucket list, along with a desire to explore some inland areas. My experiences in Brazil included Carnival in Manaus and seeing the si
