Turkey (28 May-12 June 2018)

Turkey has always been on our bucket list of places to visit. In retrospect it was the best place I have visited. We flew with Turkish Airlines. We went with Save Travel and the package was R20 800 pp.

Morocco (5-19 May 2017)

What an unforgettable experience. To think that I was so apprehensive before I left.

My first travel experience (1987)

I remember that day so clearly, way back in 1987. My colleagues dropped me off in front of the Imperial Hotel (in Pietermaritzburg) so that I could take the Cheetah Coaches to the Louis Botha Airport in Durban. This was going to be my first ride on a plane and my first trip to Cape Town.

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.
