Excellent stay at the Sunborn Yacht Hotel

Earlier in the year we purchased an experience package for a three course meal in London (plus cocktail) and a trip up the shard, both of which we will be reviewing separately.

The biggest question for us was, how are we travelling down and where are we staying. Again, that’s another story by itself, so we will skip that for now.

As you might know, we generally use Booking.com for our hotel arrangements and on this occasion we finally decided to stay at the London Sunborn Yacht Hotel, moored adjacent to the Excel centre in the heart of the Docklands.

‘Allo ‘Allo – Encore Performing Arts

When my daughter Stacey asked me if I wanted to go and see ‘Allo ‘Allo on stage, I jumped at the chance – an avid fan for many years, I have all the box sets which I watch regularly and never miss an opportunity to ‘spoke in Fronch when I am at woke’ (Think about it)

Stacey writes reviews of shows on her own website and was invited by Encore Performing Arts to come and review their opening night in the Duchess Theatre Long Eaton. Naturally, she thought it a good idea to take along an ‘Allo ‘Allo expert to help critique the show. You can read her own review on her website www.amessinadress.co.uk

Our first stay in a Delta Hotel : Cheltenham Chase

When Sue suddenly decided we needed to go away for the weekend (Valentine’s Weekend 2023) I decided to totally leave her to deciding both the destination and the hotel.

Surprisingly she came up with a overnight stay just outside Cheltenham, in a Delta Hotel by Marriott. We spent the Saturday in Gloucester, and then the Sunday in Cheltenham and I have to say, they are both nice destinations that we will definitely go back to in the future.

NYNY. So good we’d stay there twice…

If you are looking for a good hotel in Las Vegas, then I’m afraid to say you are spoiled for choice.   And we are no experts, as we’ve only been the once, and we’ve only had one experience of a hotel over there.   But it was a good experience, so we will tell you more…
