Travelblog: (worldmapmaker=369891) Addictions come in many forms. For us – it’s always been travel. Whether it be a week here and there holidaying in Oz with family or travelling the world to far-flung and exotic places. We have been very fortunate to have visited many countries throughout the world as well as also having seen much of Australia by trains, planes and automobiles (and also motorhome) but, still lots more to see. We haven’t even scratched the surface of this vast, magnificent country of ours. Our children (and now also grand-children) also share our passion ... full info

Happy anniversary!!!
You picked the perfect way to celebrate. We still have three years until our 50th and have been pondering what to do. I turn 70 in three months and still don't know how to celebrate that!

Hey Bob. How great to hear from you .. and thank you for your wishes. Still don't feel old enough to have been married that long! :) Yes, as I said in our blog, we deliberated for quite some time before coming up with this holiday idea.

Hot enough!
Hi Michelle, Thank you for your good wishes and congratulations and lovely to hear from you. It was lovely family time together. Last time we caught up with you, you were soon to head off to China, which is some time ago now. Seems the travel bug has well and truly captivated you this last year. Great to read about your adventures and to see that you are out there enjoying life. Thank you for dropping in. Jan xx

Congrats Jan & Ted on your golden milestone. That you endured temperatures up to 48C in the process is mind boggling. But to explore Echuca which we love due to free camping areas along the river reminds one that there are still many jewels to enjoy on a fine Aussie day.

Hi Dave, Thank you for your anniversary wishes and, also for dropping in - always great to hear from you. :) Yes, we also love Echuca and have spent various periods of time there over the years. Always love it.The heatwave was relentless but, the main thing was our family time together. It was a great week. Ted and I have seen a lot of our own country but, you are right, Aussie does have a lot to offer. A stay-cation can always be a delight. Jxx

Escape the heat ...
Hi Dave & Merry Jo, Heatwaves aren't uncommon during our summers but, this one was unprecedented in its length and the area it covered. There was just no getting away from it - even by driving, driving driving. :) Thank goodness for air conditioning - both in vehicles ... and houseboats. :) Thank you for dropping in. :) Jan
