We’ve had our latest SE Asia trip booked for a little over 8 weeks. We’ve ummed and ahhed over what to do about our luggage situation. We’ve argued and debated. We’ve researched and we’ve changed our minds 100 times. You see, we’re past the 20-something gap-year age group. We over the pre-marriage ‘can we survive [...]
A few days ago I found myself comforting Craig, lost for words while my own eyes were welling up with tears, my lip quivering uncontrollably. Our friends were departing Heron Island, heading off on new adventures. So why were we so sad?? Given the severity of our reaction at this couple’s departure, you would be [...]
A nasty, ex-tropical cyclone moved down the Queensland coast over the past week days, tearing through towns along the way as well as affecting those of us stationed out to sea on the islands of the Great Barrier Reef. Heron Island was pelted with heavy rains and damaging winds, bringing down trees and whipping [...]
Holy sh1t it’s 2013. Where did that come from? 2012 flew by in such a tizzy of drama, excitement & exhaustion that I barely remember what I did before December 31st. On the upside, 2013 is already shaping up to be an awesome year for The Craig & I (yes, perhaps I’m counting chickens [...]
Lets’ get straight to the point. I am a nervous flyer. I always have been since my first flight as a child, when my parents took my brother and I to Gran Canaria. Since then I have flown many times, and each time tends to be an anxiety-ridden, white knuckle hell ride. Unfortunately [...]
This Is Not a Hostel Some time ago we played host to an old school mate from the USA. This particular traveller was passing through, en-route to New Zealand after an extended jaunt in the Philippines. Staying at a less-than-desirable backpacker hostel, we asked our travelling buddy to pop by for dinner. As the night [...]
We are in the downhill run towards the Christmas season and a shiny, promising 2013. Some travellers will be making plans to head home soon, keen to link up with their families and reconnect with close friends; putting down their backpacks for a little while. Other travellers will choose to stay where they are, [...]
The vivacious and thrumming sprawl of Tokyo grabbed our attention from the moment we used our first electronic toilet at Narita airport. Now this is a progressive country! Our first mistake was to think we could simply have two nights’ stopover in Japan and not realise we’d be desperate for more. We planned this particularly [...]
Meeting Rob Knowles was one of those completely random occurrences that resulted in a much-valued friendship and off-and-on artistic collaboration. I often refer to writing as painting with words, my paintbrush now a laptop keyboard. If that has any element of truth then Rob’s music is most definitely painting with notes; an auditory artwork [...]
Something has been amiss for a while now. We’re at a juncture in our life where we feel that we are nowhere near getting the personal satisfaction and happiness we need from how we are living. This general unsettling feeling has been driven by a number of factors. Since we returned to Australia [...]
