I Need A Vacation; Why Not Take A Trip Around The World
Janes holiday travels
I arrived at Malaga airport to meet Jeanne, my sister in law, and Trish’s parents, Yvonne and Richard. Off to stay at MacDonald Leila Playa Resort in Calahonda and to relax for a day before we head off to Mijas for Darren and Iseults wedding up in the hills at Hacienda San Jose. The area…
Walking in the English countryside every morning in the village/town I grew up in. The mist hanging in the trees is beautiful and mysterious. The week has been spent visiting my mother who turns 99 next week in the old peoples home. She still thinks they are all old and fuddy duddy in the…
Back in beautiful Perth for a few weeks to visit my grandchildren and children, and to visit friends. Beautiful sunrises along the river just reinforce why I live in Perth when not travelling! And a trip to Kings Park with my granddaughters, Matilda and Poppy. Next stop………….London in the UK Watch this space.
Before we headed back to Brisbane I walked in Noosa National Park to Hells Gate. One of the most beautiful walks I have done, and I’ve done many! So good for the mind and soul. Such happy memories of my times in Noosa. From Brisbane I will be heading to Perth in a weeks time…
We couldn’t miss Lachy’s birthday although he always argues that birthdays aren’t his thing, but the children wanted to make a fuss and make a cake! A very messy affair but very enjoyable watching. 25 July…a date to be remembered. Then on the weekend we headed off on a small break to Noosa as Lachy…
So lovely to be here in Brisbane and to meet the latest addition to the family, Stevie Leigh Grace Paulger, born 25 June 2023. My little grandson Duke is enamoured with his baby sister and constantly wants to kiss her and pat her. Little Blake, who is not even 2 herself, loves to give the…
Another Amtrak day and I’m afraid to say that it was much the same as my first experience a few weeks ago except the dining car staff were a lot nicer!! We started off on time but had to go on to another track to drop off an engine! This took a few hours and…
After a busy evening in South Lake Tahoe where we walked along the lake and then enjoyed a Mexican meal on the main strip of the city, we went inside the Hard Rock casino for Issy to experience casino life!! Casinos for me are very sad seedy places, where people dream of making it big…
Absolutely amazing that there’s still enough snow left in July for people to come and ski here! The locals are saying that this is very rare. Due to all the extra driving we did yesterday we are on our way to Convict Lake relatively early this morning to get our exercise in before another long…
Re-energised we all climbed aboard our minivan to head to Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias. En route we passed one of the many stunning waterfalls in Yosemite National Park. Yosemite’s Tuolumne Grove trail, is a 2.5-mile round-trip hike from the Tioga Road to a grove containing around two dozen mature sequoias. If you’re a dessert-first…
