View PostTAKE AWAYS FROM TRAVEL
When you suddenly don’t travel as much as you did, you realise what you love about it. That said, I’m happy with the reason why I can count on just two hands how many flights I have taken in the last 6 months and the fact that we can’t really book any more…
View Post2018 TRAVEL PLANS AND A NEW YEAR REQUEST
My 2018 travel plans are non-existent. Yes, you read that right. The Anna-planner has no travel plans for the new year. It’s the same way we started 2017. And we liked that so much we’ve taken the same approach again to this new year. Having no real plans has given me time to think…
View PostA taste of travel: my menu
I’m very fond of my food, I’m also very fond of the monthly travel linkups. The ask for May: if travel was a menu, what starter (short haul), main (long haul) and dessert (a place with a lasting impression)… Travel and taste, excellent! Translating a menu choice to travel is tricky? I’m not one for…

View PostTravel contrasts
Travel is full of contrasts. Life is full of contrasts. Some are unconscious, based on other decisions taken but sometimes we go looking for contrast in our travels. Just in the last month I have enjoyed a fortnight of 5* luxury in the US, then enjoyed equally 4 days away sailing with very few creature comforts. …
View PostMy travel personality
Mr P would probably say my travel personality was of the control freak type (I call that organised), however alongside he acknowledges the awesome trips we’ve taken and that the planning helps us both relax very quickly! We always notice how quickly our skin takes on the out-of-office relaxed glow about 2 days…
View PostThings I would never do again…
It’s rare to talk about things I don’t think I would do again on my blog as this blog seems to prove nicely that I have my vacation ‘type’ well practiced! But we learn a lot by doing things that didn’t necessarily work well for us or we do things where once is enough.…
