Coach holiday expert 🙂

MELANIE

Professional Traveller

British Airways Junior Jet Club Member and trainee tour guide at Disneyland. If that wasn’t enough the proud bearer of a Blue Peter Badge and a bronze medal in disco dancing (yes really!)

LOTTY

Expert Sleeper

As the oldest member of the team (in doggy years) Lotty gets to sleep a lot. She can’t see very much now, or hear very well but she still makes her views known.

CHRISTY
