...El Salvador was not the first place that sprung to mind when i was deciding on my holiday for this year. Indeed, were it not for the fact that my brother is marrying a girl from there, i doubt that i would ever have visited the area
Thank God i did though! The place is superb. SanSalvador, the capital, is set in the hills. The people of this city are very, very poor, but they are also very welcoming and friendly
The heat was impossible. i dont know if it is normally that hot but i think thaqt i must have sweated out at least three tonnes of liquid that i was there
Everywhere i went were warnings that tourists should be careful at all times. Apparently crime is a major problem with shootings, muggings and theft a common problem throughout the year...

Desk staff stated that Regency Club floor was closed and I was to stay in the Seaport tower (23rd floor). Was offered a small bottle of wine & some cookies to be sent...

For the second day of my short, last-minute trip to Dublin, I really needed to be in the centre of the city as I had a lot of stuff to do and so it made sense to complete my quest to stay in 3 Hilton hotels during December and January and... more
My partner and I decided to go for a city break to Amsterdam – somewhere we had fancied for a while and it provided me a chance to fly for the first time. After much shopping around, we booked (via Thompson online) for a 2 night stay at the 5 start... more
Home to the largest ballroom in Hertfordshire, the Hilton Watford hotel is 3 minutes' drive from the M1 and 25 minutes from central London.
Not quite what I was expecting from the Hilton Hotel chain as a whole.
I thought it would be more "posh"... more
A lot can happen in a space of a few years but never more so than in Dubai; it's currently a massive construction site but in the nicest sort of way! The last time I visited Dubai in 2002, I stayed at Oasis Beach Hotel in Jumeirah. At that time the... more
