On Your Marks? Jet Set

Original Kids Travel Service

Dear Miss Daisy,

You might be wondering where I am this term. I’m actually flying around the world with Mummy and Daddy, thanks to Original Travel’s new service for kids (I know, poor me).

So far I’ve walked like an Egyptian, been a pirate of the Caribbean, eaten real Italian ice cream and scuba dived like Ariel. Daddy says he never knew trips like these could be so family friendly.

I was given a goodie bag, and my suitcase was magically here when I arrived. There’s even a Baby-Go-Lightly service in some hotels (they supply nappies and stuff so you don’t have to pack it all), so Mummy brought Oscar along, too.

I’ll come back to school soon. But not yet.

Love,
Indiana Juno xx
