Main Sections
As can be seen on the left hand side menu,
this site is divided into the main trips that I have taken.

Canadian Rockies in September/October 2004.

New Zealand (2 weeks) in March 2005.

Lumpur in March 2007.

Inspiration for this site
The inspiration to share my travel
experiences comes from two main sources. Some time in the summer of 2003
I did casual Google search, the intention being to answer a question I
had regarding miles on my British Airways frequent flyer account. I
stumbled across a site, which I now can't believe I survived without - I
don't think any serious traveller can get by without it! A site which is
full of people who love travelling and love collecting miles, just like
me! That site is
Flyertalk.com
Through this website, I found that a number
of the members there had created their own websites to record their
travel diaries and photos. One of the posters who goes by the username
Steady-EDI had set up
his own website to record his
travels round the world. From this great resource I drew inspiration.
And here we are. My site is designed to
share my photos and experiences on my various travels round the world,
along with reviewing various hotel and flight products that I
experience. I hope you enjoy my site as much as I enjoyed creating it
(well, at least doing the travel required to create it)!
Site design & content
The menu on the left points to the various
sections of this site, each of which deals with a specific trip,
although "Short Reports" deals with shorter trips and miscellaneous
photos that don't warrant a full section on their own.
Despite the title of this website, the
content is deliberately anonymous. If you would like to contact me,
