Travel.
This section of my website is about the places I have travelled to on longer holidays, weekends away, or short-day trips. I have loved travelling since childhood, when my parents took my sister and me on fantastic holidays. I would like to be able to visit every continent on the planet, and I am slowly working my way through them.
There are seven continents on our wonderful planet: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe and Australia. I have currently visited 5 of these continents. I need to visit Antarctica and Australia to be able to say I have visited them all.
There are many countries on earth. I am a long way off even being able to say I have been to a small amount of these. Still, I have visited these: Andorra, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, England, France, Iceland, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, Peru, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, USA and Wales.
I have also visited the Vatican State and the dependent territories of Gibraltar and Greenland.
Some of these places, as in the case of Denmark, Iceland, and Greenland, are only on this list because I stopped in them briefly on flights and didn't leave the airport or the immediate area around the airport. Others like England, USA and Spain I have lived in for some time during my life.
I will be visiting India in 2025, and I hope to visit Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, and some of the countries that are closer to me in Europe in the next few years.

Cruises. Article Count: 70
My first cruise was across the Atlantic onboard the Queen Mary II with my mum because she could not fly, and this was the only way we could get to America. I then did an add-on to a coach tour in China and cruised up the Yangtze River. Years later, I went on my first cruise around the Mediterranean, and I was hooked. Within a year, I had been on four more cruises.
Escorted Tours. Article Count: 71
I wanted to try a holiday where I would see many different things but one in which I didn't have to drive or organise anything myself. I thought I would try an escorted tour to see if I would enjoy this type of holiday. I did enjoy the first one a lot and have since been on three more and have another one booked.
Short Trips. Article Count: 21
These articles are all about the short trips or day trips I have taken, the places I went to and the things I have seen on my travels. Some trips were taken while I lived in countries such as Spain or the USA, and others in the UK. Some were to see a city or place, and others were to sports or music events.
Other Holidays. Article Count: 19
This section of my website has details of holidays that don't fit into the other sections of my website. Because these memories are older than more recent holidays, the stories here will fill up slowly and may have some errors because of my failing memory. I hope that you enjoy the stories anyway.
