Your Honeymoon

Mandy Walsh 29 December 2021
When I originally wrote this in April 2020 never in my wildest dreams did I think in Dec 2021 would this 'pandemic' still be a part of our lives so I am again sending out a message of support again to all Brides & Grooms who have had to postpone their Wedding Day's due to social distancing and thus meaning their honeymoon was more than likely postponed too, but to everyone with a LOVE for travel and adventure. And sure look a 'later' moon is now all the rage and on a far more positive note the amount of honeymoons & holidays that actually departed in the latter half of 2021 is surreal.

I said it back then our world would start to spin again and it sure did, albeit with new precautions in place but nothing is impossible. Since July 2021, I have had clients travel near and far and this Christmas alone I have had fabulous bookings to Costa Rica, Orlando, New York, Lanzarote, the Maldives, Dubai, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Not to mention those planned for January to Thailand, Miami, Caribbean Cruises, Costa Rica, New York, Lanzarote and Iceland.

* Many countries still have restrictions in place and as each day passes, we learn more about what is happening in the world. The main thing is not to ever panic, your Travel Counsellor is keeping up to date with the latest developments and restrictions in place. We are closely monitoring changes within the travel industry, including which countries are easing restrictions. Particularly focusing on destinations that our clients are already booked to visit later on.

* The key in these unprecedented times is patience and I understand that can be hard too. The travel providers such as airlines, cruise lines, hotels and suppliers have worked around the clock to come up with the best solutions for everyone. Your booking is in safe hands and we will do everything in our power to work with you and our suppliers as we still navigate through this.

* The best advice that I can give at the moment is to think positive and start to plan. Demand is high for peak dates so bear that in mind plus the fact that other countries have their 'road' maps a long time so they are busy booking resorts and destinations that are extremely popular.

* Flights are now available until the November 2022 (Easter '22 & Mid Terms are proving as popular as it always was so flights are very busy to certain destinations). There are many options available for Spring & Summer 2022 and lots of fabulous cruise options for 2022 and even 2023. You may have had to postpone your special day but what a celebration it will be for your family and friends when it happens. You will still have your dream adventure to look forward to and that will be so worth waiting for. Don't forget we also have our fabulous app myTC so you can be working away making payments in a secure way until closer to the time in instalments of your own choice. Ask me for more details.

I have some fabulous downloadable brochures and itineraries available so feel free to get in touch to inspire that wanderlust in you. Making each and every trip personal to each client is of the utmost importance to me and even more so, the second time or third time around if needs be.

With over 25 years in experience in the travel trade, I believe we at Travel Counsellors are your safety net. You can rest assured I will be with you every step of the way. As one client once said "I was pretty sure when I looked out the aircraft window I would see Mandy loading up our bags". if I could I probably would. I love what I do and if the last 20 months have proved anything is that we are stronger than we think, more resilient and that fabulous world of ours is out there waiting to be explored.
