About this blog

Hello there!

This is a diary of my trip to Australia and New Zealand taking in Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore and then on to Hawaii, Maui, Chicago and Florida before returning to the UK next April. I hope you enjoy reading about my experiences along the way - wish me luck - I am not in the "first flush of youth" so it is a big challenge for me!
