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.
I thought that I would discuss forms of transport in the countries one is visiting.
Once again we, ourselves, are planning a wonderful trip and I shall keep my readers up to date on how the preparation is going, but more of that later.
We all know the proverb, “The best laid plans of mice & men often go awry”. Well, it certainly is true when travelling. There can be transport delays, bad weather, distance to travel to a particular attraction can all make one have to reconsider their plans on any day. We…
Just 30 days and then we are up, up and away to Lisbon, Portugal where we will spend a week on the first leg of our 3-month trip.
Those planning to travel outside of their home country will possibly have to apply for a visa at some point.
In early 2000 my husband and I were invited to a presentation and, if we attended, that is all we had to do they said, we would get a free trip to Mauritius. Being a lot younger and even less wise, we agreed to attend.
Assisted travel is not only for people with walking difficulties and it costs nothing extra.
I cannot believe that it is more than half way through the month of May 2015! That means it is 7 months to the day before we leave on this wonderful trip. It is getting really exciting but there is so much to do.
It has been a while since I wrote on the preparations for our trip to the Northern Lights and that is mainly because we are in the quiet period of preparation.
We have decided!! We are off to see the Northern Lights, The Aurora in December 2015. Time to start the preparations. That’s right, there is a lot to do and pay!
At the end of my last blog, I mentioned that we have already decided on our next trip which starts with travelling to the northern tip of Norway to the town of Tromsø to witness the incredible natural phenomenon known as the Aurora Borealis or the Northern Lights.
Today I will write about the next leg of our journey, leaving the Scandinavian states after a wonderful 2 weeks.
The more we have travelled over the last 20+ years, the use of digital gadgets has increased dramatically.
Packing for a holiday can be fun but needs planning. Included here are things we have learnt from mistakes made and good ideas implemented.
When the idea of doing a really big trip was first mooted it sounded like fun and seemed easy as the ships and planes would take us to most places. A year later it is still fun but plenty of work, most importantly, applying for and receiving visas for every…
Not sure whether to say yippee, there are only 160 days until we leave or, oh no, still 160 days before we hop on the plane on the 1st leg of our trip to see the Northern Lights. Things are gradually coming together.
As always, time just flies when one is busy and has a very exciting trip to plan.
As I said in the article, ‘The last few days’, in this, the final article about our first trip overseas, I detail some of what we learned, both helpful and what we could, and should, have done better.
There is no question that there are some definite dos and don’ts for travellers and a few more of each for Senior Citizens. I have prepared some ideas in the table below but would appreciate any that you, the reader and traveller has to share.
