Six Good Reasons to Visit Edinburgh This Year*
*Collaborative piece. The spending money was gifted by Hotels.com, but all views are my own. Every year I say I’m going to make more of an effort to explore the UK, but then never get around to doing it. This year that’s going to change and I really a going to see more. Most people cannot wait to jet off abroad where they’re almost guaranteed beautiful sunshine and white sandy beaches, I’m among them.

5 Things to Do If Your Flight is Delayed*
Last year I had the unfortunate experience of my flight being severely delayed and then cancelled. Thankfully I was travelling on my own and it was before the final train back to my home town so I was able to hop on that and then have my dad collect me from the station at 11 pm. Had it even been an hour or so later I wouldn’t have made it home and it would have been a completely different story.

Samsonite Disney Ultimate 4 Wheel Spinner Case Review
If you’re an avid reader of Cocktails in Teacups, you’ll know I declared this year as the year of Disneyland Paris. As the months go on we do miss Florida terribly but we are making some fab memories on our trips to DLP. So far we’ve managed 3 this year thanks to our annual passes, with another 3 to go (and possibly one in January before our pass expires). Our favourite way to travel is via Eurostar which involves an almost 4 hour journey to London then almost 3 across however by taking the Eurostar we do arrive right into the gates of DLP which is a huge bonus.
