    Ok, so it's no secret that I'm an advocate of enjoying the journey rather than putting everything off until some magical point in life where we can do what we want whenever we want. Sometimes life has other plans for us....

    So, what's your Travel Plans for 2017?

    We've already arranged a 2 week trip to Vietnam. (1st time)

    We have also decided to visit:
    New Zealand (for 1st time) - short getaway
    USA - visit family
    Japan - (2nd time... just love the country)

    So that's 4 international trips planned for us so far. So where's your journey going in 2017?

    Let's see how much of the world we all intend to connect with in the coming year!

    Enjoy the journey,

    Indi

    I retired end of last year and 2016 I went a bit overboard (95 days cruising, 3 more months overseas), 3 months in our motorhome, so 2017 will maybe be quieter.
    End January in the motorhome for 2 months? Vic and SA. The looking for a relocation cruise to America (Hawaii, Seattle, LA?) then 2 months in northern Hemisphere. Otherwise fling and 3 months away. I wouldn't mind a cruise through the fjords)Then?? Probably Tassie end of the year in the motorhome (minimum 3 months this time).

    Castaway Island Fiji. Our first overseas trip as a family. Making an effort now to have one good trip a year. Stop and smell the roses.

    It's amazing. We did Copenhagen, Poland, Estonia, Russia, Stockholm. I would do it again in a heartbeat. We have been to lots of places on cruises, now going back and exploring more indepth. We loved Valletta in Malta when we visited on a cruise and just went back for 3 weeks.
