Tick Egypt off your bucket list!
Travel to EGYPT in 2012
I was lucky enough to travel to Egypt earlier this year for two weeks with Bunnik Tours. Being somewhere I have always wanted to visit, I was excited to travel to this destination and to travel with an amazing smallgroup tour company like Bunnik Tours made the trip for me. Although everyday was awesome, the highlight for me was hot air ballooning over Luxor. If you are on Facebook, you can access these photos on the Lime Travel page.
Departure is 19 March 2012 and is priced from $5293 pp twin share for the 17day tour.

Fijian mini-break
4 nights in Fiji is not long enough, but I’ll take what I can get. We travelled with Pacific Blue and after only a 4 hour flight from Sydney its not long until you land in paradise. This low-cost carrier was pretty good with food, beverage and entertainment all extras once you are on board. Being a movie buff, I paid the $10 for the Digiplayer, and was able to get in two movies each way.

Hong Kong Travel Report
Virgin Atlantic & Langham Hotels
Earlier this month, I was invited to travel to Hong Kong to experience flying with Virgin Atlantic and staying with Langham Hotels.
It had been over 10 years since my last visit to Hong Kong, so it was great to see the new airport and also how much the city had developed. So much cleaner and much more cosmopolitan that I remember. There are still the very traditional parts of Hong Kong, but also the more modern too.

Do you book online rather than booking through a licenced travel agent?
Lately I have heard so many “horror” stories about travellers booking their own overseas accommodation on-line. Thinking that the hotel they have booked is the one that they want to stay at. To confirm the reservation they advise their credit card details and then wait until their arrival.
Day of travel comes around and they arrive at their destination and try to check in at the hotel they have booked. This is where the nightmare starts – I have heard cases of:
- the hotel that they booked and paid for does not exist
- the pictures of the hotel on the Internet were a 5 star hotel and not a 2 star one they see when they turn up
- the property is not in the location that they thought
Getting Hitched?
Come and and say “hi” to us this weekend @ Mingara. This Sunday, 20th June 2010 from 10am – 3pm, Lime Travel will be exhibiting at the Getting Hitched bridal expo being held at Mingara. Come and talk to us about your honeymoon plans - we would love to hear where you want to go and we can help you get there. If your after something truly special, we’ll have some fab honeymoon packages for you to look at . Not to mention information on our free Honeymoon Resgistry service and also a great giveaway on the day.
10 Reasons why you should use a Personal Travel Manager rather than booking on the Internet
- SECURITY & PEACE OF MIND – we are a licenced travel agent and a member of the Travel Compensation Fund. If you book online, there is no way of knowing who is sitting at the other end of the computer or how reputable they are.
- USE OF REPUTABLE SUPPLIERS - I have head horror stories of people booking on line and arriving at the hotel, only to find out that the picture of the one of the website, is not the one that they booked. We always use reputable suppliers who can recommend their properties through personal inspections.
- PRICE – for when you want to travel – no use in quoting you the “cheapest fare” if it is not available for the dates that you want to travel. I will always check the schedules and your quote will be based on actual availability for the date requested.

The Ghan – Darwin to Adelaide – March 2010
Tick it off your bucket list! Just last week, I was able to travel on The Ghan from Darwin to Adelaide. It was such an awesome experience to travel by rail through the Red Centre. Although at the moment it is not very red due to all the recent rain.
Our particular train was over 900metres long with over 38 carriages. Offering Red Seats, Red Sleeper, Gold Service and Platinum, where it caters to a variety of all budgets. All rooming is either twin or single and many have their own ensuite facilities, although space is limited. Each section of the train has their own Lounge Car and Restaurant Car. With 2 meal sittings, dining is a la carte with a great choice at each meal.
