Why travel?
I love reading the travel quotes that circulate as normally there will be one or two that absolutely resonate! But why travel? We all travel for different reasons so here are some of my reasons… Something has to pay for the travel and that something is of course work! But thinking about it…

If ever I have any time to myself then I love looking through photos from our trips or weekend activities. ‘Let your memory be your travel bag’ said someone once, it’s one of many such travel quotes that pops up on instagram frequently and I totally agree, that is why we take photos…
View PostMy first #blogiversary!
I’ve reached an exciting date – it is my one year of blogging anniversary! I’m not sure I really knew much about either twitter or blogging about 13 months ago, so I’ve learnt a lot already!! It’s quite interesting to look back at what I’ve learned so far and remember why I keep…
View PostThe trials of travelling #dairyfree
I’m lucky that my allergy doesn’t cause the kind of issues that a severe shellfish or peanut allergy might, but identifying that one has an allergy and having to learn fast how to get used to it is challenging! Notwithstanding, dairy free isn’t actually as easy as not drinking tea or having cereal or porridge…
View PostUpper class or club class
I make no secret of how much I enjoy flying and to be honest I don’t mind what class I fly in, so long as I’m going somewhere nice! But both Mr P and me are proud of the amassed airmiles collections we have and always look forward to going on holiday in…
View PostMy city of choice?
It’s fair to say that I normally seek isolation and beauty for a holiday, away from the hum drum with peace and quiet and a view of the hills or the sea! Divergent Travellers put up a question a while back – which city, Dubai or Singapore? That got me thinking, I’ve actually…
View PostHotel – hates, likes and loves
I was idly thinking about an upcoming holiday as a means of getting through the working (weekend) day and had a flick through some photos of trip advisor of the hotels we’ve booked, everything is still looking just as it should which is always a relief! I’ve developed pet hates to hotels and…
View PostFavourite photos from 2013
This weeks #frifotos got me thinking about what are my favourite pictures from 2013… I found a few on Friday to share: But they were just the ones to hand on my iPhone! I’ve looked back through each trip we took this year to find some favourites… Jamaica was a good start to…
View Post2013 in months – the best bits!
The end of my year is not as planned… today we should be enroute to Cornwall to see my Grandparents and to enjoy the outdoors and the Christmas lights in Mousehole, and some lovely Cornish pasties and ales. Instead I am under a blanket enjoying day nurse every 4 hours and lots of…
View PostTravel with work
Travel with work, I think I would normally fall on the side of saying it is over-rated!!! Sadly I don’t travel to “see” with work, but I travel to work (and see the inside of different office meeting rooms!!). But from time to time even that has its perks too! Too often the…
View PostFavourite places
I personally think that the hallmark of a good holiday is the wish to return to the same place, or to look for something similar in a new location hence reinventing something that you know is really good! I’m always happy if on the drive or flight home i’m trying to work out…
View PostWhat makes a trip tick – home and away
Anyone that has read what I’ve written on ALTB or triptease will know that I like the finer things, but to be honest, some of the most memorable trips haven’t been in 5* hotels – there is so much more to having an awesome break than spending $$$. That said, we’ve just booked…
