What to pack

It  can be daunting for a first time traveller, not knowing what to pack or what to include in your carry-on and main luggage.

Bali (9-17 May 2016)

The beautiful gardens, the enchanting music and amazing people will forever be etched in our minds.

Hong Kong (6-9 May 2016)

We decided to do a Hong Kong and Bali combination trip. We flew with Cathay Pacific. We went with Pentravel and the costing per person was R14 527.

Travelling sickness

It’s all so exciting planning for a trip. Then you arrive at your destination and find that you have all these health issues.

Tipping in India

To tip or not to tip - that is the question.

UK transit and Schengen visas

We were chatting at a family get-together and this subject came up during our conversation ...

India (11-25 March 2015)

This was our fourth trip to India. India, again does not disappoint. Each trip offers something new, whether it is cultural, or a new eating experience. We flew Emirates. We went with Onestop Tours and package was R19 419 pp.

Vietnam (5-16 April 2014)

We did not expect Vietnam to be so beautiful. The natural scenery is a sight to behold.

Cambodia (1-5 April 2014)

We combined this Cambodian trip with Vietnam. We decided to go to Cambodia and Vietnam in April, the hottest time of year. We flew with Singapore Airlines. We went with Pentravel and our package per person for the combined trip was R29 999.

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.
