Descending into Phnom Penh

On our very empty Silkair flight to Cambodia, I managed to sit and gaze out of the window for almost the entire journey. Regular readers of my blog will know that this can be a challenge for me because of my fear of flying! On this flight however, I felt quite relaxed and managed to [...]

Travel amid the Covid-19 crisis: my experience

I have just returned from a month long trip overseas...and it looks like I got back to the UK in the nick of time! As we left in mid February, the virus was just starting to kick off and as we returned on Friday it had very much taken hold. And of course, since then [...]

The Fear Of Flying Rises Again!

The Fear Of Flying Rises Again!

The recent tragedy of Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 has thrown my phobia of flying back into focus. What an absolutely horrific and terrifying event it was and my heart goes out to those souls on that plane and their families who now have to deal with the aftermath of the accident. My stomach turned when [...]

Heading For The Skies…Reluctantly!

It seemed unlikely that I would ever get on a small plane... I had enough trouble getting on a big one!! I don't like flying and the thought of sitting on a tiny plane filled me with fear. But somehow my partner had persuaded me that it would be MUCH better to fly the forty-five [...]

Because I love…

March 12, 2018by mydustyflipflops5 Comments on Because I love…

... A VIEW!!! I don't really love planes though, however, the views on the flight home from my latest travels were just too amazing to miss. For once I was on a day flight and the clouds had parted to reveal panoramic, sweeping landscapes from snow capped mountains, to dusty deserts, to ice sheets as [...]

A Welcome Travel Interlude

November 9, 2017by mydustyflipflops4 Comments on A Welcome Travel Interlude

Daily Prompt - Temporary Whilst we wait for our next flight at Singapore's Changi airport I take the opportunity to hang out in the butterfly garden to stretch my legs and get some fresh-ish air.  The break is very welcome after a 14 hour flight and I temporarily forget about my weary body and mind [...]

Fear of flying versus love of travel…which wins??

September 30, 2017September 30, 2017by mydustyflipflops1 Comment on Fear of flying versus love of travel…which wins??

For me love of travel will usually win…..although this can mean that getting somewhere can be a little traumatic to say the least! I have a fear of flying – which is not unusual know!  But when you love travel as much as I do, it can kind of get in the way. It's not [...]

The last gasps of Autumn! These colours have kept me going through a second lockdown. Walks in the fresh air in lovely scenery have been definite good mood boosters! Beautiful 💕

Preah Vihear, an ancient temple that sits atop a cliff in the mountains on the Cambodia/Thai border. A place full of history which has commanding views across the surrounding area. It's definitely worth a visit! I took a (long!) daytrip there from Siem Reap, read all about my experience on my blog, link in bio!
