Yesterday I had to go to work. Today I don't have to. This is what retirement is.

Welcome to my Travel Blog!

During the last month I've piled in sixteen entries to show a little of Brunei Darussalam, where I've been living for the last five years (deep at the bottom of the pile), and the major holiday trips I've made to different Asian countries. You may have seen some of the material elsewhere.

Now I go live!

Tomorrow I set out on an erratic journey which will finish in Sydney during October. It will take me first to Kuching and Kota Kinabalu in Malaysian Borneo. My goal then is to travel between Thailand and Hong Kong by train and by boat, via Cambodia, Vietnam and Southern China (but only if they agree to give me a visa). Maybe I'll have time to take in some of Indonesian Borneo as well.

I'll make occasional entries to this blog, charting the journey in text and pictures, and adding some travel information for those that want it.

Wish me bon voyage!

Bon Voyage!!
I continue to be insanely jealous. I'm afraid that retirement for me will involve a "retirement home" somewhere VERY boring.
