Welcome to our Travel Site
Hope you have as much fun reading this as we did doing it! This site is the result of many years (over 40) of travelling whenever we had the capacity to do so. Often on a whim and whimsical too.
We are still intent on travelling this year this year may be the last of the “Bigguns” – an eighteen day trip to Thailand and Vietnam with a four day layover in Japan.
To read about our travels over the years click on the Menu – “Travelogs index” and then “Our Previous Trips”.
None of these trips can take place without a great deal of planning read how we do that here
