Have you ever been somewhere in this glorious big wide world, and suddenly you remember how special it was. You remember a moment. You remember the fragrance. Or you remember something else that is special. In late 2013 we traveled through Central America, and when we arrived by plane in San Jose Costa Rica, we […]
Whether you are a younger or older adult, incontinence cannot interfere with your travel plans. No-one wants to miss a plane being caught in the airport bathroom. Nor is it fun to walk around all day with your jacket tied around your waist. You might be a busy Mum who has recently experienced childbirth. Or […]
Recently we were asked by the famous nomads Travel With Bender, to be part of an article sharing where families would choose to spend their Christmas – if it could be anywhere in the world.

When we first arrived at Bangkok we were informed that the old Floating Markets of Bangkok were …. gone …. finished …. kaput …. over. Oh No! Having visited them 30 years ago, they were one of the memories that I thought would remain institutional forever. A memory I wanted to share with my son. […]
Recently we decided to continue our world journey and head from Africa via Thailand, and then onto Malaysia. When I was researching, I discovered the hottest new holiday destination for Australian families, so we decided we just had to go and check it out. We are so glad we did. We had an amazing time, […]
