๐ŸŒ If you've never experienced Southeast Asia, this is one incredible introduction.

The scent of street food drifting through vibrant night markets. Golden temple roofs sparkling in the sunshine. Tropical islands rising from turquoise waters.

All wrapped into one unforgettable Azamara journey.

Karen and I love cruising and are always looking for new places to experience. Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam are destinations we'd love to explore, while Azamara is a cruise line that's been on our radar for a while.

03/09/2026

โค๏ธ Travelling for work can be surprisingly expensive.

Not for me. For Tony. ๐Ÿ˜„

Over the years I've developed a slightly unfortunate habit.
I go away on a work trip and a few weeks later we're booking it for ourselves.

A Silversea cruise. The Maldives. Singapore and Malaysia.

Which is why Tony gets a little nervous these days whenever I come back saying, "You'd absolutely love it there..." ๐Ÿ˜„

A few years ago, I discovered a completely different way of exploring the South of France.

I expected beautiful scenery.
I expected good food.
I expected lovely towns and villages.
What I didn't expect was how much I'd enjoy simply slowing down.

โค๏ธ I've always loved being on the water.
But floating gently down the Rhรดne was something special.
Watching the scenery drift past with a coffee in hand, knowing there was nowhere I needed to be and nothing I needed to do...

That, for me, was pure bliss.

No rushing. No traffic. No pressure.

Just the gentle rhythm of the river carrying you to your next destination.
Along the way there were cafรฉ-filled streets, quirky independent shops, incredible food and wine, and beautiful scenery around almost every bend in the river.
And every stop seemed to have its own personality.

๐Ÿฐ My favourite visit?

The Palace of the Popes in Avignon.

The sheer scale of it is incredible and somehow even more impressive in person than it is in photographs.
Some members of our group were completely captivated by the history and loved every minute of the commentary.

Me?
I was perfectly happy just admiring the architecture, soaking up the atmosphere and imagining the stories those walls could tell. ๐Ÿ˜Š
Either way, it's a place that's well worth seeing.

The funny thing is that although the ship was lovely, it wasn't what stayed with me most.

It was the journey.

๐Ÿšถ Stepping ashore and exploring somewhere new.
โ˜• Finding a cafรฉ and watching the world go by.
๐Ÿท Enjoying long lunches in beautiful surroundings.
๐Ÿ“ท Discovering places I might never have visited otherwise.

And doing it all at a pace that felt relaxed rather than rushed.

๐Ÿšถ There was quite a bit of walking at times, but everyone seemed to manage at their own pace.

By the time I came home, I couldn't stop talking about it.
Which, as Tony knows, is usually a dangerous sign. ๐Ÿ˜„
Because whenever I'm still talking about a trip long after I've come home, it normally ends up on our holiday wish list.
And this one still hasn't left it.

๐Ÿšข That's why this river cruise caught my eye...

03/09/2026

โค๏ธ Have you ever booked a holiday that you weren't entirely convinced about?
This was one of those trips.

The closer departure day got, the more doubts I seemed to find.
It felt too different.
Too unfamiliar.
Too far outside my comfort zone.
I wasn't sure what the food would be like.
I wasn't sure what the hotels would be like.

And, if I'm being completely honest, some of my expectations had probably been shaped by things I'd seen on television and in films over the years.

Meanwhile, somebody else was counting down the days with excitement. ๐Ÿ˜„
I wasn't quite on the same wavelength.
When we arrived, I was still unsure what to expect. But it didn't take long for those doubts to start disappearing.

The welcome.
The friendliness.
The smiles.
The genuine warmth of the people we met along the way.

โค๏ธ The people amazed me.
๐Ÿจ The hotels regularly exceeded my expectations.
๐Ÿฝ๏ธ The food was far better and more varied than I'd imagined.
๐Ÿ˜ The wildlife encounters were unforgettable.
๐Ÿ•Œ The temples and historic sites were fascinating.
๐ŸŒด And the beaches were beautiful.

Somewhere along the way I stopped thinking:
"This wasn't really my idea."

And started thinking:
"I'm so glad I came."

We travelled with a lovely couple we'd first met on a South Africa tour the year before, and it didn't take long for the laughter to start again.

One of the unexpected highlights of the trip was the friendships. Not just continuing old ones, but making new ones too.
In fact, we enjoyed each other's company so much that we're travelling to Sri Lanka together next year. โค๏ธ

A huge part of that experience was our exceptional tour manager.
From the moment we arrived until the day we flew home, nothing seemed too much trouble.
The organisation was seamless, the local knowledge was incredible, and somehow a group of strangers quickly started to feel like a group of friends travelling together.

And the biggest surprise of all?

๐Ÿšค The houseboat.

If you'd asked me before travelling which part of the trip would become my favourite memory, I wouldn't have chosen that in a million years.
In fact, it was probably the part I was most unsure about.

My biggest concern?
Whether we'd have our own private facilities.

And when I first heard we'd be spending a night on a houseboat in Alleppey, part of me genuinely wondered whether somebody actually lived there and we'd be squeezing into a spare room for the night! ๐Ÿ˜„

How wrong I was.
The cabin was comfortable, there was air conditioning, and the crew couldn't have looked after us better.
๐Ÿ› The crew even cooked Tony a specially prepared extra-hot curry for our night onboard.

As the houseboat drifted through Kerala's peaceful backwaters, something else happened too.

A group of travellers who had only recently met started feeling like old friends.

๐Ÿฅ‚ Drinks were shared.
๐Ÿ˜‚ Stories were told.
๐ŸŽฒ Games appeared.
๐Ÿ˜† Laughter echoed across the deck long into the evening.

Watching daily life unfold along the riverbanks was special enough.
Sharing the experience with such a lovely group of people made it unforgettable.

โค๏ธ In all honesty, I could happily have stayed on that houseboat for a week.

And that's when I realised just how wrong my first impressions had been.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ The destination? Kerala & India's Beautiful South.

And the person who'd wanted to go all along?

Tony. ๐Ÿ˜„

Thankfully, this time he was right.

03/09/2026

โค๏ธ One of the best family memories we've ever created didn't involve a beach.

Or a theme park.
Or even summer sunshine.

That's probably not where most people think this story is going...
When people talk about family holidays, it's usually all about pools, beaches and guaranteed sunshine.
And don't get me wrong, I love those too.

But earlier this year, Tony and I visited somewhere completely different, and it ended up being one of our favourite trips in years.

No beach.
No loungers.
No all-inclusive wristbands.
Just a city that surprised us at every turn.

โค๏ธ The food was fantastic.
๐Ÿ›๏ธ The shopping seemed endless.
๐ŸŽญ There was entertainment everywhere.
๐Ÿšถ And despite being a huge city, it was incredibly easy to get around.
Every day seemed to give us another reason to stay a little longer.

Then came the highlight.

๐ŸŒŠ One of the world's most famous natural wonders.
๐Ÿš Seen from a helicopter.

It's one thing standing beside Niagara Falls.
Seeing it from above is something else entirely.
It's one of those moments that stays with you long after you've unpacked your suitcase.

And that got me thinking...

If we loved this place that much at the end of winter, what must it be like when the Christmas lights are on, the festive markets are open and the whole city is dressed for the festive season?

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ The city? Toronto.

๐ŸŽ„ And December might just be the most magical time to visit.
From sparkling lights and festive entertainment to the famous Distillery Winter Village, it's the sort of trip that creates family memories you'll still be talking about years later.

๐Ÿค” Let's get one thing out of the way...
Not every famous attraction is worth making a special trip for.

There. I said it.

In fact, one of the Mediterranean's most famous landmarks left me thinking:
"Well... that was nice."
Beautiful setting.
Lovely views.
Absolutely worth seeing.
But would I build an entire day around it?
Probably not.

The funny thing is, that's exactly why I keep going back to this particular island.
Because the real magic isn't one famous attraction.
It's everything in between. โค๏ธ

๐Ÿท The waterfront restaurants where lunch somehow turns into an afternoon.
๐ŸŒ… The evenings spent wandering along the harbour as the sun starts to disappear.
๐Ÿ”๏ธ The mountain villages where life seems to move at a completely different pace.
๐Ÿš— The freedom to jump in a hire car and simply see where the road takes you. One of the things I've always loved is how easy it is to explore, especially as they drive on the same side of the road as we do.

One day you can be beside the sea.
The next, you're winding through the Troodos Mountains, discovering traditional villages, enjoying spectacular viewpoints and wondering why more people don't talk about this part of the island.
In fact, one of those viewpoints is where Tony managed to leave behind his favourite sunglasses. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
These days, before we leave anywhere, I'm tempted to ask:

"Phone?"
"Wallet?"
"Passport?"
"Favourite possession?" ๐Ÿ˜‚

I've been lucky enough to visit this island more times than I can count.
Every time I go back, I find something new.
Every time I leave, I start thinking about returning.

And if somebody asked me tomorrow where I'd happily spend a week enjoying late October sunshine, it would be very near the top of my list.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡พ The island? Cyprus.

โค๏ธ The resort that keeps drawing me back? Paphos.
And for me, one of the best ways to experience it is from a hotel designed entirely for couples.

โค๏ธ Amavi, Paphos - Made For Two
A beautiful 5โญ adults-only hotel overlooking the Mediterranean, perfectly positioned for harbour walks, sunsets, great restaurants and everything that makes Paphos such a special place to visit.

๐Ÿ’ Celebrating a honeymoon or wedding anniversary?

๐Ÿ๏ธ And while we're being honest...
The famous landmark I mentioned earlier was Aphrodite's Rock.
The setting is lovely and the coastline around it is beautiful.
The rock itself?
Well, without wishing to upset Aphrodite, I suspect it's the surrounding scenery that's doing most of the heavy lifting. ๐Ÿ˜„
Definitely stop if you're passing.
I just wouldn't make a special trip for it.
