Guatemala
GUATEMALA!!! I heard so many things about Guatemala. My father in law was born and raised there. He told me so many things about where he was born, where he lived, his school days, and his favorite childhood memories. All the places to eat, all the beautiful sights, and the warm beaches. My husband told me some things also. He went to Guatemala when he was about 3 or 4 years old. And the last time he went was about 4 years ago. He told me about some things when he went there. Just hearing stories about it makes me imagine what does Guatemala look like. I see Guatemala as a very colorful and relaxing place. A place to go to the beach and lie in the sun. Put your feet in the sand as it gets in between your toes. I heard that there is a beach there that has black sand. I better wear the right shoes there. I don't want to burn my feet. As the music rings in the air, people start to dance and sing. All the wonderful and delicious food to eat. The smell of the food in the air smells so good, that it makes you want to drool. The restaurants there are like 5 star hotels. I heard that McDonald's, KFC, and Pizza Hut are amazing.

Four Days in Rhodes, Greece: What We Saw In Our Struggling Hire Car
What an amazing place—so many beautiful and colorful flowers! But be careful, the ice cream is so delicious you may go over your budget (I recommend the strawberry one). My boyfriend Tom and I spent four days in Rhodes at the beginning of our two-week adventure! We got a nice cheap flight for £84 from Liverpool to Rhodes main airport. Normally the flights are more, but we travelled a bit to John Lennon airport to get the cheaper price.

Machu Picchu by Rail
A few years ago, when I was at university, I was always a little intrigued about the charity adventures they organised to Machu Picchu via the Inca trails. However, horse riding always took over and, along with working and university commitments, I was sadly never able to go. In 2017, I finally had the opportunity to travel around South America for a few months. There was no way I was passing up the opportunity to visit such an incredible place.

Southampton to Jersey
This was my first visit to Jersey and despite—or because of—the weather, I am looking forward to getting there again. My journey began at Southampton Airport. Once I had checked in, cleared security, and as experienced air travelers say "airside," I really felt my journey had started. I also still had another hour to wait before boarding.

Journey to the End
I began my journey up the cloud-capped mountain range when the twinkling stars were visibly scattered across the dark midnight sky. Encompassed by the infamous Bluest of Blues Lake, the mountain towered over all things immense and meager in the country. Bordering the footpath to the heap were rows of willow trees. The dark bark on the trees creaked eerily as the wind made the moss colored leaves of the willow hum to it a cry of disheartenment. The willows draped themselves over each other to form a fairytale-like arch over the entrance to the mysterious forest. Nailed to the ground was a wooden sign that simply read:

Daytrip: Saguaro National Park
Just outside of Tuscon, Arizona is the Saguaro National park. 143 square miles of natural desert with trails and drives allowing you to enjoy the park from the comfort of your own car. One of the many national parks in the United States Park system, Saguaro National Park is conveniently located outside of the bustling city of Tucson. The park is located on either side of the major metropolitan hub, complete with an airport. The Saguaro National Park and the surrounding desert (called the Sonoran Desert) is the only place in the world where you can find the Saguaro cactus, making it a truly unique place to visit. During the summer, there is very little wildlife during the day but if you visit around sunset you may see lizards, rabbits or even a deer (like we did). Like Joshua Tree National park, Saguaro National park is surprisingly green for a desert park and in springtime the wildflowers must be amazing. We arrived there in late summer, after the major blooms had faded, however, many of the cacti still had remaining blooms on their crowns.

Christmas Lunch, Shipping Disasters and the Hadron Collider
In the marine insurance industry based at Lloyds of London there was a tradition that whenever there was a shipping disaster the ‘Lutine Bell’ would be rung to mark the event. The UK hospitality industry does not have a central forum like Lloyds but if it did and also had its own bell that bell’s clapper would be well and truly clapped out on Boxing Day after our Christmas lunch experience.
