Virgin Holidays Barbados Fam Trip

On the 4th November 2009, I took a short domestic flight from Manchester airport to London Gatwick, I was very nervous but looking forward to what the next 5 days had in store!

After checking in I met with the other travel agents. The flight with Virgin Atlantic lasted approximately 8 hours and 45 minutes but it flew by as I enjoyed watching the latest films on demand.

Barbados Fam Trip

Having arrived at London Gatwick in the very early hours of the morning and meeting my travel companions, I was ecstatic to find out that I had been upgraded to “club class”  When we had boarded the aeroplane we were shown to our seats and greeted with glass of champagne.

The next 8 hours 35minutes flew by. The staff and service, not to mention the extra space on the aircraft were second to none and I would definitely recommend an upgrade.

Arriving at Grantley Adams International Airport, Barbados the weather could not have been more perfect. We travelled 35minutes by coach to the Tamarind Cove situated on the west coast.  The Tamarind Cove has an inviting Caribbean charm as soon as you enter and the pristine beach with crystal clear waters was to die for. continue reading…
