Ireland 2026
Our Wild Atlantic Way
Adventure
It is said that the west coast of Ireland gets approximately 255 days a year and we were there during most of them. Beautiful country and beautiful scenery, even if it was wet
Spain 2025
Our Adventure to Spain & Portugal
This adventure took us to the most Northerly point in Spain, as far west as you can go in mainland Europe and also the furthest South. That means that we have traveled to three of the 4 tips of mainland Europe, I don't think we will be going to the 4th (have a look where it is)

Our Norway Adventure
This was an Adventure we were due to have before that Covid thing hit us all. Was it worth waiting for yes it certenly was, do we want to go back, yes definitely

Scotland 2020
Montenegro 2019
What a great road trip Adventure that ended up incuding a cruise
This trip was supposed to end in Croatia but as we were so close we had to visit Montengro even if insurance was a bit of a problem. It was also a road trip on which we had an unexpect and great fun cruise. Its worth a read to find out how that happened.
USA Road Trip 2017
A drive across the USA for $1 a day, find out how here
This was our second road trip across the USA this one took us from Chicago to Vancouver yes I know that's in Canada but after dropping our $1 a day motorhome off in Seattle we carried onto Vancouver. yep it was 1 buck a day
Italy 2016
Italy it's Bellissimo
What can I say about Italy other than wow what a. beautiful country, we were fortunate to see the wonderful countryside and what I have previously said about cities and towns does not apply here, they are magical and have so much history and beauty
Holland 2015
This trip was known as The Hawks go Dutch
This trip had the subtitle The Hawks go Dutch and included a trip to Keukenhof which has been on Barbs bucket list for ages, oh and obviously mine as well
Australia & Much More 2013
Australia and a lot more, 6 months of a lot more
We talked about this trip for ages and was supposed to happen in our retirement, anyway we had a bit of an early retirement which left me in a bit of a dark place. So one afternoon in town and after a visit to one of those places that sell alchohol, we called into Trailblazers to get some ideas. When we keft we had booked a 6 month trip to Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Fuji and the USA, not only was it booked quickly, our departure was in six weeks time. Be prepared this a bit of a long read but its got lots of funny bits such as "he was only playing" Oh and this one includes a number of $1 a day motorhome in hire in a few different countries
Scotland 2013
This is one of our many trips to Scotland
Scotland wow what a beautiful place it is, we love it and have been a fair few times
France 2012
This trip had the subtitle Allu Allu Glu. Listen carefully I will say this only once
This was my second attempt at sharing our trip.
Thailand 2010
This is my first attempt at what we know call a blog and is more like memories of our trip
I wrote this so that we could share our trip with friends and family and save our memories when we didn't have a website or the knowledge of how to use one and as for an online blog, now lets be serious, this is more of a journal of our trip
