  • To those of you who are in London now: What's the word on the transit strike?
  • I hope to be there on 9 November for Travel Blog Camp.
  • I can't wait to visit London. Hope could go soon!
  • I will be attending the WTM and look forward to meeting up with old friends and new. Accessible Travel is a huge yet largely untapped market, I invite colleagues to send questions to me regarding this market as I am giving a seminar on the topic on Travel Agents Day and would like to address as many issues as possible in the short time the WTM allows. My seminar will be as interactive as possible, no preaching from the pulpit! I am also available for the consultancy networking session the same day. Questions to wtm@disabledaccessibletravel.com (online from 1st September).
  • The United States has issued a travel warning against visiting Northern Ireland. This is very upsetting to me. Have any other countries issued such a warning? Is Northern Ireland returning to a state of civil war?
  • What's one of the most special things about London's Athenaeum Hotel? (We'll give you a hint: chlorophyll) Find out here.
