In January 2017 it was my 7 year blogging anniversary. 7 years?! I have never stuck at anything for 7 years accept going to school and that was mandatory. When I started putting words to WordPress in January 2010 I never believed I would still be doing it 7 years later – let alone making … Read more
Although Justin is the more committed aviation geek in our relationship, even I got a little giddy when I saw we’d been assigned a runway view room at Crowne Plaza Changi Airport. Even after all these years I still get a frisson of excitement each time I go to an airport and the prospect of staying overnight … Read more

Believe it or not my lovely new hubby was not immediately sold when I first floated the idea of honeymooning in the Maldives. “But what is there to do in the Maldives?” he innocently asked. Aside from the fact that after all the prep and stress of hosting a destination wedding my ideal honeymoon involved … Read more
I nearly gagged on my bacon and eggs on Saturday morning. Out of the blue an email popped into my inbox from the Department Of Immigration stating there was an update to my Partner Visa application.
