About this blog

We are leaving behind our life as 'grey nomads' in Australia for 6 months of travel around the world. The trip started from a desire to see the Iguassu Falls in South America and grew from that. I want to be at the falls on my 60th birthday on 29th March so the dates have been planned to fit around that. With Round-the-World tickets booked through Qantas/One World we are only a few days from setting off on our adventure. Having stored the caravan and truck on the Gold Coast our trip is planned to start from Brisbane, flying into Wellington for 2 weeks in New Zealand, then on to Santiago, Chile for about 3 months of exploring South America. After that stops are planned in North America, UK, Vienna, Bangkok then back to Brisbane.
