Christmas Vacation 2009-10, part 2 – Nottingham, Cardiff, Oxford, London, and Munich

January 7, 2010

We arrived in Nottingham in the late afternoon of December 21st to spend Christmas with Jeremy’s family. Jeremy’s brother, Matt, moved to Nottingham with his family a couple of years ago to study a PhD in Theology, and his sister, Annie, and her family decided to trek over for a year at the beginning of … More Christmas Vacation 2009-10, part 2 – Nottingham, Cardiff, Oxford, London, and Munich

Venturing into Negeri Sembilan for Hari Raya

September 25, 2009

This past weekend saw the end of Ramadan on the Islamic calendar, and thus Monday and Tuesday were public holidays here in Malaysia. This gave Jeremy a couple days off from work, so we decided to venture into a neighbouring state, Negeri Sembilan. We didn’t have a specific plan or destination, though we knew there … More Venturing into Negeri Sembilan for Hari Raya

Diary of Melbourne, 2009 part 3 (Apr 25-30)

May 4, 2009

Saturday 25th April 2009 Anzac Day today! I didn’t hear a noise when Kaye left, but I still woke up far too early for my liking because Doyle wanted some snuggle sleeping time and I couldn’t get back to sleep. At least I had enough time to pack up everything and finish off a heap … More Diary of Melbourne, 2009 part 3 (Apr 25-30)

Diary of Melbourne, 2009 part 2 (Apr 20-24)

April 25, 2009

Monday 20th April 2009 Jeremy woke up at 4am to get to the airport on time to fly back up to Sydney, leaving behind his mum, Doyle and me. We got up more around 8am, and headed out sometime around 9:30am to catch the free city circle tram most of the way around the city, … More Diary of Melbourne, 2009 part 2 (Apr 20-24)

Diary of Melbourne, 2009 part 1 (Apr 15-19)

April 20, 2009

Wednesday 15th April 2009 A complete day of travel today. We had Jeremy drive us to KL Sentral, where we arrived a bit before 9am, and were able to catch the 9am Skybus to the LCCT airport. We arrived about 20 minutes before check in opened, so I took Doyle to Marrybrown and got him … More Diary of Melbourne, 2009 part 1 (Apr 15-19)

Airports surrounding Washington, DC

February 4, 2009

I’ve either arrived or left from all of IAD (Washington Dulles), DCA (Ronald Reagan) and BWI (Baltimore-Washington International) now so I think I’d be a reasonable judge to suggest which airports to use if you do want to go there. Personally, whilst IAD is probably the biggest and most used of the three, it’s also … More Airports surrounding Washington, DC

Dubai, New York and Virginia 2009

January 30, 2009

If you get to know me for any period of time, you’ll probably discover that I’m a little addicted to travel. I’ve had international flights every year since 2004, which is a little surprising to say the least. Anyway, not long into 2009, we embarked on yet another international trip – approximately 4 weeks in … More Dubai, New York and Virginia 2009

Melaka and Genting, 2008

January 28, 2009

Jeremy had some time off between Christmas and New Year last year, so we used that time to see a bit more of Malaysia. On Saturday December 27th, the Portuguese village in Melaka was having a national open house for Christmas, and everyone and anyone was invited. So we headed down for the two hour … More Melaka and Genting, 2008

Christmas 2008

January 28, 2009

Christmas 2008 was the first Christmas I’ve had as a “family,” (as in my now immediate family where I’m the mother) but without any extended family. Even growing up I can’t say I remember any Christmases where the entire day was spent with just me and two other family members (if that has happened, I … More Christmas 2008

Hello from Adelaide!

September 18, 2008

Hello from Adelaide! A few weeks ago, I sort of ‘spur of the moment’ decided that I needed something to change up my life a bit, and that I would do so by completing my ultimate Australian Outback adventure goal – to drive across the Nullarbor. Not only would I do that, but I’d drive … More Hello from Adelaide!
