Last night, I watched a programme on TV about Corinthia at Christmas. I know I am a bit behind on my TV watching! The programme talked a lot about their customers and how they liked to make things special for their customers, but they wanted to do more for regulars. I wondered about this – […]

This weekend we tried out a new hotel, in London. It has only been open about six months. The hotel is called Lost Property, St Paul’s. It is just a minute’s walk from St Paul’s Cathedral. It is part of the Curio Collection, which is part of Hilton Hotels. We don’t normally frequent Hilton Hotels, but

What do you expect your holiday to be like? My Father In Law used to say you are buying a dream and now I see that is right. You dream what your holiday will be like, but what do you do if it doesn’t meet your expectations. I have had holidays that haven’t met my
Often we stick to doing the same things, even on holiday. We use familiar brands of hotels and restaurants and we don’t want to be disappointed if we choose something else and don’t like it. Even when we are going overseas we often stick to the same brands and fear going rogue to do something

Why, when a plane is delayed, do normal boarding rules not apply? There is one reason that disabled people have to board first. In our case, my husband has a wheelchair, we need to take off the batteries and detached the joystick. He also takes him a while to walk to his seat. He doesn’t
