London (2-10 June 2013)

We decided to go to London on a whim, as there was a special birthday that needed celebrating. We prefer destinations with its own cultural feel, and London certainly surprised us.

India (January 2010, 2011, 2013)

With India, we were not sure what we were getting ourselves into, as we heard a lot of conflicting stories. But, we decided to visit anyway, to see for ourselves.

US (20 February-29 April 2012)

My trip to the US was more of a working holiday. I was chosen along with 15 other librarians from across South Africa to spend time in academic libraries. We were together for two weeks, and then we had to go our separate ways for the next two months. I had the most amazing time, and loved travelling alone.

Seychelles (16-23 January 2012)

Seychelles is a perfect tropical island holiday. And it is not only for romantics.

Far East (January 2006)

Places that we chose to visit in this part of the world were Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. We flew Malaysia Airlines.

Mauritius (January 2005)

Mauritius is only a four hour flight from Johannesburg, and as soon as you arrive at the airport, you can already smell the ocean air. We flew Air Mauritius.

Victoria Falls (January 2001)

We still had places to visit in Africa and chose Victoria Falls as our next destination. We chose to stay at the Zambezi Sun, this was when it had newly opened. We flew British Airways.

Zanzibar (January 2000)

As well as being known for its beautifully pristine beaches, Zanzibar is also steeped in history. We chose our accommodation in Stone Town, the historical centre of Zanzibar. This holiday did not pan out as we thought it would.

Egypt (December 1999)

Our first trip overseas was way back in 1999. Egypt was our first destination. I remember hubby telling me that we should go to Egypt. As always, ones first trip is filled with a lot of anxiety and excitement. Part of the excitement is planning for the trip, and then the day finally arrives when you have to set off on your journey.  We went with Rennies travel agency.
