OK, you have decided on a destination for your next holiday. Here are 4 important questions you must ask yourself, each with its own particular considerations.
As mentioned briefly in my last blog about travel and medication, the 2 of us are planning an absolutely super long holiday from mid-August to mid-November, 97 days from start to finish. The planning for this holiday is significantly more complicated and more work but we know that it will…
This is the perennial question. The more that we look at our itinerary we see that we will encounter extreme differences in weather patterns so the question is, “What and how to pack?”
As I begin this blog we have reached the countdown and today signifies we have just 117 days to ‘lift-off’ from King Shaka Airport, Durban to Lisbon, Portugal. 117 days may seem like plenty of time but, according to my Planning Page, there is still so much to be done.

Those planning to travel outside of their home country will possibly have to apply for a visa at some point.
Yippee!! We have received the tour details and bookings for the Nordic Aurora Safari Tour. This means that the final countdown has begun. 70 days until we leave.

Assisted travel is not only for people with walking difficulties and it costs nothing extra.
At the end of my last article I said that we would now spend time looking at the places we plan to visit and decide on what we want to see out of all the wonderful things which can be seen. I have downloaded information on Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Tromsø…
