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 did a “Biggun” – an eighteen day trip to Thailand and Vietnam with a four day layover in Japan this year.

What comes next year – who knows, but a six week sojourn in Mexico is next and then the decision has to be  made.

It has been made; a ten day trip to Croatia – see below for the details. All we can say is that the travel insurance is killing us! 

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

Big change to the itinerary: The stay in Hoi An had to be cancelled because of an impending Typhoon that made landfall at Da Nang so we added more free days in Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok. Those days may not be reflected in the diaries because we bummed around and rested from the frequent flying and  long tour days.

We start the trip by staying  in Tokyo for four days:

Day 1…24th Oct….Land in Tokyo after a thirteen hour flight

Day 2 & 3…………..Free Days in Tokyo …………Tokyo Pics

Day 4  27th Oct….Travel Day to Bangkok
