Any advise on who offers the best cruise deal these days ? Is it better to look at US travel agent since they dominate the cruise market ? Any recommendations that you can share ?
USA travel Visa (ETSA) group/individual
I'm about to apply for travel visa for a group of us going to USA (Florida) the next few months.

When to renew my passport?
It expires March 2021 and past few years, including this year, I will be traveling in Europe in September.

On the date of return back…
Thomas Cook / Condor Claims - Section 75

Holiday Destination Suggestions
Any good deals going on with Tui for around end of June/July time? I was thinking somewhere hot with a beach in Europe. I’m going to a tui store sometime this month so wanted some info ahead of it. I had a budget of about £1000 and then £500 spending money to eat out. This budget is based on 1 person. But if you know…
