A number of travel companies have a lot of fun when April fools rolls around each year. If you're in the mood for a laugh, I've collected some of the best April Fools jokes that came out this year.
Happy Easter! This weekend I’m off on my Cosmos Tour taking in the “Big Apple” New York, Washington, Philadelphia and Niagara Falls for the next 2 weeks. While I’m away, Nicky and Selena will be on hand to take care of your queries, however to plan that big trip I can meet up on my return to NZ in early May, ring the office to make an appointment.
Amazing – 2018 River and Ocean Cruising Deals are launching! If you have a big Europe or Asia trip planned and want to include an Ocean or River Cruise, now is the time to start planning. The best date choices and deals come out from now onwards and only a deposit is required to hold your cabin. Give the office a call to book an appointment in May.
Finally, I have a quick travel tip for you! Wine (or anything in a glass bottle) is one of the trickier items to pack. Due to its size, it can't be taken in your carry-on bag, but I've discovered a video that shows a great way to safely pack a bottle of wine into your suitcase.
Enjoy the Easter break, and please don't hesitate to get in touch if travel inspiration strikes over the holidays!
Kind regards,
Brigitte

How to Pack Wine in Your Suitcase
It's a bit of a nerve-wracking exercise, packing a bottle of wine in your suitcase, BUT there is a special trick to it to help you ensure your bottle arrives intact (and your clothes wine-free!)
The secret is wrapping the bottle in a pair of thick socks and a scarf, jersey or pashmina.
