The theme letter for our travel pics this week is X (Marks the spot). And for Saturday, the X is eXaggerated valleys of New Zealand’s Fiordland National Park. The region, on the southwest of the Southern Island of New Zealand, features three main sounds: Doubtful, Dusky and Milford – each of which has deeply gouged fiord valleys…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is X (Marks the spot). Today, I have to ask: eXcuse me, have you seen Nessie? Loch Ness in Scotland is a freshwater lake (or ‘loch’) near Inverness, and is famous mostly for its reputed denizen, the Loch Ness Monster. There have been reported sightings of the…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is X (Marks the spot). We’re halfway though this week – so let’s eXhume the past, in Rome. Let’s be honest – if you travel to the Eternal City, you just have to go to the Colosseum at least once – it is amazing in its decaying…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is X (Marks the spot). And for Wednesday, it’s an eXhilarating parasail in Fiji.

The theme letter for our travel pics this week is X (Marks the spot). For Tuesday, it is eXotic Hong Kong. We’ve only been to Hong Kong once – on our way to Europe, to catch up with our son in the UK … but I have to say, I’d love to return. This particular…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is X (Marks the spot). We could go with a whole series of X-rays – but that would be boring 🙂 Instead, we’ll start with an eXquisite chandelier in the Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque, in Abu Dhabi. It’s not unusual for religious buildings to be adorned…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is W, for Worldmark. Our final pic in this week’s series once again comes from Denarau Island, in Nadi, Fiji. This is a lovely resort, with as much or as little to do as you like. We’ve been there twice – and on those visits we’ve been…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is W, for Worldmark. For Saturday, we’re back at a Worldmark South Pacific resort – at Golden Beach, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Golden Beach is at the southern end of the Sunshine Coast, the quieter, more genteel cousin of Queensland’s Gold Coast. Worldmark Golden Beach recently become a…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is W, for Worldmark. On our most recent trip to the US, we were going to stay with my our daughter and her husband in Oakland – but as we were planning the trip, she mentioned that she had a conference in San Diego the week…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is W, for Worldmark. Since buying into Worldmark holiday ownership in 2001, we’ve stayed at properties in Queensland, NSW, the US, Fiji, and at ‘associate resorts’ in the ACT and Indonesia – and we’ve liked them all. But the resort we’ve used most often is Trinity…
