I’ve been travelling to Florida for over 15 years now, in fact I love the place so much I bought a property there. I can navigate my way around Florida better than I can my home town at times.

For me it’s not just about the parks but getting out and about, taking road trips to the Keys for a few lazy days, a couple of days at the beach in Clearwater sampling the amazing seafood. Even going to crystal springs to swim with the manatees.

And the shopping! I love a trip to all of the outlets more so when the sale weekends are on. If you want me to plan your Florida holiday from start to finish I promise you will get the most out of your stay there.

I would say having been to Mexico 8 times now puts it up there with one of my favourite places to go.

The hotels just get better each time I travel there. From busy night life breaks in Cancun to lazy days and lots of wildlife in the Riviera Maya there is something for everyone. There are excursions for every age, from pirate ships to snorkelling through cenotes. Even some top golf courses if you want to spend a few hours chasing a white ball or getting rid of the other half for a few hours peace.

If you’re looking for a Caribbean island with more to do than staying around the hotel complex then Aruba is the place to go. Aruba is off the hurricane belt so makes for beautiful year round weather, the trade winds keep you cool while lying on the amazing white beaches. The night life in Aruba can be very lively and it’s very safe to go out and about.

Don’t stay in the hotel even if you’re All-inclusive, get out and about, hire a jeep, snorkelling at the wrecks, and eat in some of the most amazing restaurants. And let’s not forget the Cuckoo Kanukoo bus! This is the most fun way to explore the local bars.
