So,just in case you hadn’t noticed,the Met.Office has now admitted that it’s prediction of a “Bar b cue” summer was wrong!!!Well,after what seems like 30 consecutive days of heavy showers interspersed with longer periods of rain,I think we all could have come to that conclusion!!
We are bracing ourselves now for a last minute rush as people pack away their tents and stow the bar b cue at the back of the garden shed for another year.If you have had enough of this dreary summer,get in touch with us and we can find you the perfect holiday!!!!

Summer 2009 officially cancelled!!!
Thursday, July 30th, 2009If things go wrong!!
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009It’s peak holiday time and many of you will be off soon to enjoy a week or two in the sun(hopefully,courtesy of Ocky White Travel!!)For the vast majority,the holiday will be enjoyable and relaxing,but just occasionally things can go wrong!Here are our tips to help you through any potential problems:
1/Always make sure you have a suitable travel insurance policy that will cover all your needs.Ask us for a quote.
2/If your bags get lost or damaged at the airport,you must get a written report from the service desk at the airport.Without a written report your insurers will be unlikely to settle any resulting claim.
3/Any problem in your hotel or resort must be reported to your tour rep or hotel manager immediately.You must give them an opportunity to put things right.If they then fail to do this,ask for and complete a complaints form from your rep and make sure he/she signs it!This will be vital if you wish to pursue the problem when you get home.
4/If the problem is to do with your accommodation,take plenty of photos to use as evidence.Take the names and adresses of others similarly affected so you can stay in touch.
5/If the problem is not resolved in resort,tell your travel agent when you get home.We can be a great help in advising what approach you should take to resolve any situation.
Have a great summer holiday!!
