Great seeing you blogging again! I love long flights for the very reason you describe. I relax, read, watch movies and just enjoy the anticipation. We love the 12 Apostles and the Ocean Road drive.Thanks for taking us along.

Thanks so much Dave Greece is such a magical place with no end to places to visit. And the photos don't do it justice - it's even lovelier in real life.

You see everything but you don't really see anything Good to know about Cuba. I'm ready to go! but with a 10 hour flight from Amsterdam, I don't think I'll have a partner ... but you never know, I have a big birthday coming up!
For a small place there is a lot to do Revisiting the big cities of Europe over the last few years is almost like visiting new places. They have all been fixed up and cleaned up and are bursting with attractions. Amsterdam was always fun but now it is even more so.
I always wanted to travel and left Australia when I was 18 to travel around Europe and Asia, working on the way in London and Amsterdam, before settling down in Tel Aviv. We didn't do much travelling for years, just short family holidays in Europe, and then in 2008 we started travelling again. This travel blog starts off with our first trip to Laos and Vietnam. After two years of covid restrictions, we were lucky enough to visit Santorini when there weren't so many tourists and later in the year we did a road trip around southern Italy. This year we celebrated a big anniversary with a short br... full info
