Well, the annual miracle has happened again and the brochure is now with the printer. There's now a slight lull (at least in terms of the brochure) until the final proof arrives - probably at the beginning of next week. Meanwhile it's catch-up time on everything else. Karon is now away for her "proper" holiday so the pressure is on. Still, there's always time to do a quick blog! Not that there's that much to say - it's been brochure, brochure, brochure for weeks!
Now you won't believe this. The phone just rang and it was the printer. They're bringing the final proof out to me this morning! So much for a break from the brochure - and time to get those final three prices. Still, the sooner it's done the sooner I can move on I guess. It would have been nice to have a wee break though. Perhaps I'll just leave it till the weekend: sometimes when you look at something too much too often you fail to see it, if you know what I mean.
I'm really pleased with the front cover this year - Strule has done another brilliant job and it's totally different from any other we've had. I'm not going to spoil the surprise by letting you see it now: that's a treat in store.
Got another booking for St Helena this morning - it really does seem to be the destination of choice at the moment which delights me as I love going on that trip and can't without clients! Our October tour is full booked, as is the one for Tristan da Cunha in 2011 but we've got spaces on all the others - so roll up!
Better get back to work - Keith Fairclough has written a brilliant report on the Orkney Shetland holiday which I need to format and get out to the clients. Itell you - it's all go!!!
