A Trip to Las Vegas
It’s Huge, Mega, Glitzy, over the top and that’s just the hotel lobbies. A few hate it, but millions love it and even the non-believers secretly visit just it so they can witness one of the hottest cities in the world, and a city that believes bigger is better.

Memory Lane
I am no longer a good traveller when it comes to the sea. Keen to cement the ties of a significantly depleted family, my cousin and I embarked on a trip to her house in France . We had unfortunately chosen the day when the super storm created havoc in the English Channel!
A Trip to the USA
Three of us in our late sixties flew to the USA on a three week holiday and were lucky to travel first class due to family connections in the airline industry; this was a first for two of us and we appreciated the trouble they took to make us comfortable and very well fed.
Kilimanjaro Conquered
I left home to trek up Kilimanjaro on 31st August we started our trek to Kilimanjaro on the 1st September after the second day of trekking I was already suffering with the altitude and an upset tummy. The weather was great going through the rain canopy and the Alpine desert but it does get colder the higher up you go. I was surprised to already be above the clouds on day 2.

The Diaries of a Geordie in India - Motorcycle Challenge 2010 - Day 3
I awoke today to the wailing sound of a wilder beast being mated against its will. Raj Nepal was getting all snuffly so his snoring was frightening. It was only drowned out by William two doors down, who sounded like he was being murdered, slowly, very slowly. Both alarms went off simultaneously and Amritsar had peace once again.
Theft of a Window - A Trip to the Caribbean
We were on holiday in the Caribbean, visiting the island of St Martin/St. Maarten and renting a car from one of the big names in car hire. We asked for all the travel insurance available, to make sure we were not left to pay for damage, as the roads are not that good. Despite taking all the insurance we were still liable for the first $500 dollars of any damage.
Ever Been to Egypt?

New Zealand Trip
I knew it was possible, but I didn't expect to find it right on my doorstep. As I ambled from the dense bush onto a golden sand beach beside turquoise water, I caught myself for a second, there was definitely something missing; throngs of tourists. In fact the beach was completely empty bar the odd seagull.
