Katrina has most recently got back from an amazing Uni World Boutique River cruise in France, and got to watch the All Blacks play in Paris!

KAREN
Karen has travelled to Barcelona to be part of the launch of the Royal CaribbeanShip ‘Harmony of the Seas’, cruised from Lisbon to Southampton on Oceania and did a river cruise with Tauck from Amsterdam to Basel. She also visited Buenos Aires and had the opportunity to go to Iguazu Falls: "I have been to Niagara and Victoria Falls but this was the most impressive."

MORGAN 
Has done a short trip to Sydney this year, and also visited Vietnam.

JAN 
In August/September 2016 Jan travelled around Yorkshire (Grassington & Derberyshire) and was based in Ashford on the Water and had a cottage there. Spent some time in London, doing a tour into Buckingham  Palace and saw a performance of Shakespeare’s Macbeth at the globe theatre. Then a Trafalgar tour of Eastern Europe for 10 days Bohemian Highlights and visited Frankfurt, Berlin, Wawsaw, Krakow, Vienna, Prague & Budapest. Then she went to Ravello, a tiny mountain top village on the Amalfi Coast and finished in Fiumicino close to Rome airport where she visited Ostia Antica an ancient Roman site (far superior to the Forum).
