Seven days in India – Mumbai
Our latest trip took us to India for seven days. This was a work trip with a little time in between to relax with some much appreciated down time in Delhi. We started our trip with a night in Mumbai. We didn’t have much time in Mumbai so rather than spending our time fighting traffic […]
First time skiers guide – Banff Canada
So the idea of skiing is exciting but once you start to consider all the things you need to go skiing, as a first timer things start to get a little daunting. Lift passes, ski hire, clothing – it can all seem a bit much (or at least it did for us). So after our […]
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 […]
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 […]
Thavorn Beach Village & Spa
Situated between Kamala Beach & Patong is the beautiful Thavorn Beach Village & Spa resort. The resort is perfectly located just far enough away from the busy Patong, but close enough to head into town for dinner (about 400 baht each way in a cab). With its own private beach, day spa, restaurants, bar and a beautiful […]
