Don't you wonder how people will react to your trip? (A primary purpose of this blog is to help others planning similar trips) I expected that no one would really care because it is not about them.  They would be like, "Oh, that's nice."  Of course, the families we interact with daily would have adjustments, but for most people- who cares?  Maybe it's the survival instinct that keeps us concerned with others' behavior, but most people seem to have a strong opinion ...

Lata Kinjang is the highest waterfalls in South East Asia..

It seems like everything I know about Paris is from a video game. The Louvre's giant glass pyramid has been immortalized forever in my mind by Midnight Club II, an XBox game in which Keegan and I'd drive cars overtop of the pyramid while screaming "Jim Morrisooooon!" (I think this cry was inspired by my learning that good ol' Jim was buried in Paris). The Catacombs were similarly associated: it was one of the many ways you could navigate the night-time Paris of Deus Ex, and perhaps ...

We walked around from the hostel to the main square looking for the tourist info shop when we found that local firefighters we putting on a bit of a show for the town and the army band was also playing.  Can't pass this sort of entertainment up so we sat down, watched and listened for a while.  The firefighters eventually did a display showing how they get people out that are trapped in cars.  Had everyone watching intently.  After that we went to info shop and check...

HAWAII / ALASKA Cruise on the Radiance of the Seas

A short but eventful trip to India and an even shorter 3 day stopover in Dubai.

The hotel is in an awesome location...if you want to see a theater show. Many of which are right around the corner or within a 5 minute walk. The closest underground station is good hike away, so we made full use of the bus system, which has numerous stops and a dozen or so bus routes in the block around the hotel. The hotel has a beautiful exterior, which belies its modern contemporary interior . The staff was very friendly and helpful and our room was ready even though it was only 10am!...

Beijing was an amazing city. It blends the old with the new in a very interesting way. Even though construction is everywhere in preparation for the Olympics, the city is remarkable to experience. The Great Wall, Forbidden City & Temple of Heaven Park are all must see's!

A few hours of sleep needed to be enough. We can’t afford to spend much of our precious time dreaming. After a heavy breakfast, we walked to the resort downhill where our boat awaited us. Boating and island hopping were on top of the ‘things to do’ list that day. After being on board, we started taking pictures. We were all thrilled at the moment when we all got in the boat. The waves were quite big during that day, but we never got scared. It only made us more excited. We were like kid...

First of all, this weekend was a huge bargain! We flew with Ryanair for 2p RETURN!! By far the cheapest flights ever! We flew from Stanstead Airport and it didn't take long for us to land at Belfast City George Best Airport. I'd booked us into a really nice hotel which was described as near to the airport so I thought, great! We got in a taxi and asked him to take us to our hotel. The taxi driver looked at us and said "oh! You realise this is quite far away don't you" (In an Irish accent of ...

For those who don’t know about Gallipoli, I’ll explain it:   Australia had it’s first colony established only as recently as January 26th 1788 when Captain Cook first sailed into Sydney Harbour with the First Fleet of settlers.   However, it wasn’t until January 1st 1901 that the separate colonies were united into one Federal Nation.   When Britain declared war against Germany in 1914, Australia was quick to answer the call of the motherland and go to her aid. Man...

Even though I live just an hour flight away from Japan this is my first time to ever visit. I guess since it's so close I always thought it would be easy to go. So this is my first of many (I hope) getaways to Japan. Actually I love Japanese animations and dramas...hope i can learn to speak japanese fluently as well...

so the saga continues.... sailed from central america to columbia and hoping for more fun - mountains, beaches, islands, shaamans, carnaval, boys, new people from all over the world, hikes, old cities, glaciers.... all a girl could want.

This palace hotel was a nice place to escape the loud, busy streets of Jaipur. The decor was slightly gaudy but I guess that is to be expected in a palace! Rooms were clean and spacious and the air conditioning was actually too cold! The only complaint I had was that the shower absolutely flooded the entire bathroom. It was a bit pricey at 1800 Rs ($45 USD) per night but the cost of the room included free breakfast (3 options to choose from) on the rooftop restaurant, which had very good food...

Trains Booked...So, I booked the train tickets today.  I set off from Birmingham on the 2nd June and should arrive in Penzance late that evening.  I will then have a quick half hour or so ride to the youth hostel at Lands End where I will hopefully get a good nights sleep before the first day of riding. The return journey will be a long day and I have booked myself onto the train from Thurso on 16th June.  The journey back to Preston (where I will stay in my uni halls of resid...
