This blog post is different. It’s not about a holiday or an experience I’ve had, it’s an outline of a future holiday that I’m working towards. When the Perry family travelled overseas in 2012 we had around 3 weeks and loads to fit in. With this future holiday I’d like to catch up on those …

Having read, heard and talked about wineries and pubs in the Kuitpo, Meadows and Macclesfield area my husband planned a surprise mystery tour for me on the Monday of the recent long weekend – yes he listens really well! Scott likes to trick me though so we seemed to be going in another direction, pulling …

Getting up early on a Sunday morning is worth it when you are travelling across to Kangaroo Island (KI) in South Australia for a 30 hour mini break. With the drive from Happy Valley to Cape Jervis to board the 10.00 am Sealink ferry taking about 1 hour and 15 minutes you need to leave …
Rocky is a large regional centre with cowboys, utes, beef, historic pubs and the Fitzroy River (crocodiles in there?) contrasted with modern developments, apartments, restaurants and shops. My recent trip to Rockhampton to work with a client meant that I was in town from Wednesday to Wednesday including the Queen’s birthday long weekend. Staying at …
For a long time I’ve held a romantic view about travelling around New Zealand. When flights were advertised by Jetstar for $149.00-199.00 from Adelaide to Auckland I had to take advantage of it. Scott and I also celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary on 19 February 2014 and so I wanted to do something special. When …
Aloha! For my 40th birthday in October I wanted to go somewhere special – that place was Hawaii (particularly after watching The Descendants multiple times). I booked very cost effective flights from Melbourne to Honolulu on Jetstar and used my Virgin Velocity reward points for a return flight for Scott and I from Adelaide to …

After my visit to Stratford-Upon-Avon in England last year I was inspired to see Shakespeare and it reminded me of how much I loved various Shakespeare plays in high school (Thanks to Mr Bob Phillips from Temple Christian College for the introduction). In July 2013 I booked 1 ticket to see The Complete Works of …
A quiet Friday night in August 2013 saw Scott and I head to the Woodcroft Tavern, not a regular spot at all but there was a special attraction – Ride a Bull SA. Scott (and the blokes that had been at the pub since 4.00 pm) encouraged me to have a go – check out …
Word Adelaide’s Freestyle MC Competition was held on Friday 16th August 2013 at the Thebarton Theatre and it wasn’t what I expected. In my mind I was going to a public speaking competition for masters of ceremonies. I didn’t realise it was “MC” as in MC Hammer – rap like dudes and dudettes battling with …

In January and February 2013, over the space of 2 weeks, I travelled to Male in Maldives via Singapore and to Thimphu in Bhutan via Bangkok. Maldives is a dream destination for many and when we flew into Male International Airport on Hulhule Island in the North Male Atoll, the weather was high 20’s to early 30’s Celsius. Traders …
