Small Business Blog of the Day

I was  running a few Google searches today to see how things were progressing with regards to inbound links and  discovered – quite by chance – that A Luxury Travel Blog was recently voted ‘Small Business Blog of the Day’ over at Pajama Market.

Business as usual

It’s back to ‘business as usual’ with A Luxury Travel Blog now after a short lapse in post frequency.   I was hit by a bout of ‘flu about two weeks ago and, once I’d recovered, had quite a backlog of work to catch up on.   Then before I knew it, it was Easter

Partnering with Orient Express and Kuoni

I’ve added two new affiliate links today, to the Orient Express and Kuoni.   You’ll find them both in the right hand margin of the blog, regardless of which page you are on. The Orient Express should need no introduction. Kuoni may be less familiar but is, in fact, one of the largest travel companies

Back to blogging!

Back to blogging!

Yesterday I found myself building a snowman rather than building this blog.   The roads are navigable now, however, and so I’m back to my usual PCs and able to post normally again. We have more snow forecast – and I shall be heading for Scotland shortly (more on that later) – but have posts
