Anyone that knew Tina well, knows she LOOOVED a holiday.

Tina and Russ were very fortunate to have a number of wonderful holidays, never too flash but always good value. They took holidays by themselves, took Emma on many holidays with them, and loved that she enjoyed them so much, and since 2004 took many holidays with their friends Mike and Lin Trickett.

Tina loved beach holidays (Cyprus, Cancun, Bahamas) and, since 2010, cruise holidays, cruising around the Caribbean a number of times, the Canary Islands, Norwegian Fjords and the Mediterranean. Tina and Russell also appeared on Cruising With Jane McDonald, much to Russell's embarrassment, and Tina loved to "rub it in" whenever Jane McDonald appeared on tv.

Her favourite places were the Bahamas, Bermuda, Miami, where Tina and Russ would spend days before and after cruises from Florida, and Villefranche-Sur-Mer, which is a small port in the French Riviera used by Cruise Lines for access to Nice and Monaco.

Tina has swam with dolphins, handled may kinds of exotic creatures including tarantulas, snakes, and crocodiles, and learned to ski in 6 days in Borovets, Bulgaria - not a bad achievement for someone who seemingly could not walk past a door without bumping into it! 

Tina loved taking many photos of the places she visited, but rarely featured on photos herself! She also loved the Hop On/Hop Off buses which she and Russ would always take if they were available across the many places that they visited.
