It has been two years since I last went on my long haul travels to Australia and what a trip that was.

It is 66 days 17 hours and 59 mins before I head off according to my Trailfinders app!!! I don’t feel the anxiety I did the last time before I travelled, maybe that is to follow! Hopefully not.

My plan is to fly out to Hong Kong first, via Doha, I should land in the afternoon of New Year’s Eve and have according to my trustee organiser be in a hotel that overlooks the bay and the spectacular NY’s fireworks display, if I am feeling up to it/brave there is rooftop bar/pool area which you can go up and enjoy from the outdoors. I will see how I feel. I have 3 nights so two additional days to take in the sights of area and have had some good pointers on what I should do/go to see.

The next leg will be to Auckland where I will join a G Adventures tour for 22 days in which I cover a lot of both the North & South Island, filled with activities, let’s see how this ol’girl holds up! Hiking, Trekking, Kayaking, Cycling, white water rafting, you get the picture, or you will as I go along.

Homeward bound includes 4 nights in Singapore which I am really looking forward to as I just didn’t have the nerve to do it last time, the gardens are calling out to me as I just think they look incredible.

I will update you as I go, I just wanted to give you all a heads up and forewarn you of my blogs again 😉
