Polli’s Mexican Restaurant is a must to visit when in Makawao. It had a great atmosphere and the food was delicious. We had Tacos followed by cheesecake and I can never get over how huge the portions can be in the USA so we were very full. Afterwards we walked around the town and enjoyed the ambience. I would love to visit again someday….bank balance permitting!

Lahaina is a super little town. During my holiday on Maui I ate in Bubba Gump’s Shrimp restaurant with my family. The food was delicious and it was the first time I had ever seen my Grandmother drink beer!

Afterwards we went for a walk around the town and I bought a pale pink cashmere pashmina in Banana Republic. I still wear it now and every time I wrap it around me I remember my amazing holiday on Maui.

I was only six years old when I visited Egypt with my parents and my Brother so my memories are a little hazy as I am now 25 years old!

What I do remember is how exotic and mysterious Egypt seemed, the vibrant colours, tantalising smells and unfamiliar language meant the whole trip was like a magic carpet ride.

I recall the amazing Bazaars, the scent of incense burning and the delicious felafel we purchased from a stall then ate in the street.

The concept of fast food was truly credible there as no sooner had we asked for the felafel than they were ready!

Visiting the pyramids and sphinx at Giza was amazing and I sat on the back of a camel but I did not ride on it because I was too small.

We stayed at two different places during our holiday, Cairo and Luxor. The hotel in Cairo had a swimming pool so that was my favourite and Cairo seemed daunting in comparison because it was so noisy and busy.

We rode a faluka boat down the Nile and ate on a floating restaurant. My family tried traditional Egyptian meals but I stuck to a hamburger and chips!

It was a beautiful, diverse place and I would love to visit again as an adult.
