Caribbean Cruise 2018
The last leg of our 2018 vacation we set sail from Ft Lauderdale on a 6 night cruise through the Caribbean. This is our second Caribbean cruise and as usual we are on Royal Caribbean. This cruise we earned our Platinum status having spent 39 nights at sea with Royal. Im really not sure what […]
Hakuna matata
We recently got to experiencing camping, something we said we would never do – but we did say that about crusing as well! Both of us had camped as kids but as adults if it wasn’t at least 4 stars it didn’t rate on our to do list. In the spirit of letting go of […]
Where we have been.. so far
Just so you can see how slack we are at updating our travel blog, here is a list of everywhere we have been (that we can remember).
Tasmania 2018
While our US and Canada part of the holiday may be over, we had one last stop back home before our vacation was complete. A quick trip to Tasmania to meet Steve’s parents who have been travelling around Tasmania for the last few months. Check out their adventures at judyandjohntraveladventures.weebly.com This was our second time […]
Rocky Mountain Heli Tour
For Damon’s big 40th we had the experience of a life time. A helicopter tour over the snow covered Rocky Mountains with Alpine Helicopters. This was by far the most amazing experience of our lives. Alpine Helicopters is based in Canmore which is about 25 minutes from Banff heading back towards Calgary. They have a range […]
Banff Christmas 2017
Christmas in Banff is just beautiful. Lights in almost every tree, snow on the ground and a festive atmosphere in side the hotel. Canada doesn’t really seem to put much emphasis on Christmas lunch like we do back in Australia, so our Christmas Day was really just relaxing around the hotel in preparation for Christmas […]
Banff – Alberta Canada Day One
This is going to be one of many posts from Banff. Lets start by saying Wow Wow Wow! For two Aussie boys who haven’t really ever seen snow this place is unbelievable. All those movies and TV shows like Northern Exposure (and yes I know that was set in Alaska) but we are really here […]
Virgin Australia Business Class BNE to LAX
Setting off on our Christmas vacation we flew Virgin Australia business class from Brisbane to Los Angeles. Virgin is our airline of choice for domestic travel within Australia and this was our first time travelling with Virgin internationally in Business. Checkin in Brisbane was nice and easy, however new regulations for travel to the US […]
Cruising
Cruising is something we both said we would never do, but so many people talk about how great they are so we decided to give it a try. Our first cruise was back in 2012 and given our apprehension with cruising we decided to do a small 3 night cruise out of Singapore. The cruise […]
Bangkok
We have visited Bangkok a couple of times. Our first trip back in 2004 we stayed at the Baiyoke Sky Hotel in the Pratunam area. The bustling Pratunam markets were directly under our hotel and we got caught up in the hype of market shopping. Baiyoke isn’t the most spectacular hotel and we upgraded to […]
