one-week holidays with us
each year, don’t work under
the assumption all single
parents want cheap.
I am also surprised and
very disappointed that a
publication such as Travel
Weekly failed to
acknowledge the existence
of Small Families Holidays
in its fi nal report.
Finally, I would like to
point out that there is no
comparison between our
product and those
recommended by the
visited shops.

East Canada trip
was 1st Class
I would like to write to thank
1st Class Holidays for taking
me on an educational in June.
Even though I have been to
East Canada before, nothing
prepared me for the amazing
sites we saw. Jonathan
Whitley and Kirsty Davies
were brilliant hosts and I
can’t thank them enough.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
5 premium all-inclusive resorts in Barbados & St. Lucia
I will be in California
during the Monterey Bay
Blues Festival, does anyone
have any suggestions, a) for
getting the attention of anyone
on the front desk, never mind
management, and b) being
unlikely to see the inside of
guest rooms, due to
them being sold out?
