It’s travel day as a new series begins! I’m heading from my home of Basingstoke to London Gatwick where Maffoo and I will be staying at the Sofitel for the night, staying in a club room with club lounge access, before flying with TUI to Gran Canaria to join Marella Explorer for a Canary Island and Madeira cruise. Everything filmed (hotel, airport check in, flight with TUI, arrivals, transfer and check in to the cruise) and reviewed with lots of tips thrown in!
