Have you done it yet? I bet you have. It took us about 2 and a half hours back in the Ladyland *virtual* office on January 5th to break out the Skyscanner and search for flights to a fantasy sun-soaked location. Of course, we can’t actually afford to go anywhere right now, but that’s beside the point and anyway, the planning part is half the fun if you ask us. So, here’s where we’d be jetting off to, if money was no object, to escape the UK’s end-of-days rain storms. Until then, those Tablet Hotels newsletters will just have to do…

CLEM’S MEXICAN SURF SAFARI

EMMA’S HOMESICK DREAM

I’ll be heading back home to watch the sun rise over my favourite beach, Wategos Beach near Byron Bay, Australia, from Rae’s Hotel. I’ll take my fabulous circular towel down to the beach to read the latest issue of Dumbo Feather Magazine. Then I’ll wear some super cute Gorman jellyfish earrings while I sip cocktails into the afternoon.

SELINA’S GLAM BALI TRIP

I want to have a chilled out family vacay (ha!) in Bali at the Mister Zimi Villa – the gorgeously decorated home of the designers of my fave fashion label. I’ll be matching the furnishings in my Mister Zimi jumpsuit, of course. Dancing around to the Hot 8 Brass Band. And when the kids finally fall asleep I’ll be sipping on coconut martinis inspired by the Potato Head Beach Club. In between martinis, I just might finish reading Amy Poehler’s Yes Please – finally!

BELLA’S PANAMA ESCAPE

CELIA’S LAKE MALAWI RETREAT

I’ll be relaxing at Lake Malawi, occasionally taking a dip for a spot of snorkelling with my Ospery mask and snorkel set. Then sipping Malawi gin and tonics on the beach with my Monsoon sun hat and backpack from Khama.
