Here we are – this is our 3rd time in Indonesia this year. Most Australians never venture past Bali Island, but we are on another ‘B’ island, Batam – which is just off the Singaporean coastline. Our last two nights have been at Harris Hotel Batam Centre where we have been quite busy – decking […]
We’ve just spent 4 glorious nights in Singapore when upon riding the Tiger Sky Tower on Sentosa Island on our first day there, we spied in the distance an Indonesian Island named Batam. Knowing how great Indonesia is for bargain shopping, we decided we wanted to go and stay over there for a couple of […]
We’ve just spent four glorious nights in Singapore staying at The Club in the historic section, right by Chinatown. And the first thing I learned was that four nights is not nearly long enough if you really want to experience all Singapore has to offer! Explorason had researched the Top Ten Things To Do For Kids […]
Spending a vacation as a family in Singapore so much fun. One of the most important considerations prior to arriving is selecting the place to stay. There are so many hotels in Singapore, so where should a visitor in this grand city stay? I have not been to Singapore for over 30 years and had no […]
A new chapter has begun for Exploramum and Explorason departing Australia for our second major travel expedition. Originally leaving Adelaide in 2012, we then successfully explored 65 countries over four years, before returning to Australia to celebrate my father’s 90th birthday late last year. Over the past few months we have been really quite busy […]

Arriving at the airport Flying out of Sydney International Airport has never been easier, or more enjoyable. It is time for us to start our fifth year of international travel, and we find ourselves back where we first began, leaving Australia from Sydney International Airport once more. We’ve checked in at the Scoot Airlines counter […]
Leaving Adelaide It all began when on 11th August 2012, Explorason and I waved goodbye to our family in Adelaide Australia, as we set off on an amazing travel adventure with Sydney as our first stop for a week. Three years on and we found ourselves having lived a completely different life as we explored […]
Australia is cold and wintery right now and is experiencing a bitterly cold season. So we’re thinking that either a cruise, or a trip to a warmer destination like one of the Pacific or Caribbean Islands, the Mediterranean, or maybe even S.E. Asia, might just be next on our agenda. We loved when we cruised […]
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 […]
Before you set foot on that next airplane, it is time to pack your case. Whether it is a business trip or time for a luxury holiday, you want to look your best. You also don’t want to lug a case full of clothes and accessories that weigh a ton and want to ensure a good […]
