This Is... My Favourite Travel Memory




Oh I wish I had a photo to share from my favourite travel memory, but it was pre-digital and I left most of my photographs in Australia.

The first international holiday I took with my partner was to be his dream holiday seeing the Malaysian Formula 1 GP. It ended up being our dream holiday when he proposed to me over the plane's pa during our outbound flight, something he had pre-aranged with the airline.

Actually, all my holidays with him have been dreams come true. Be it camping up the coast, our honeymoon or holidays with our girls, we have been to some amazing places and had some great laughs. Thanks Hila for picking this theme and Angela for hosting This Is.

  17. Love your holiday memory, you won't be forgetting that special time I'm sure. Thanks for your welcome comment about our family cycling trip which was truly a great bonding experience for all of us.

    I have a school friend and her sister (Jacqueline and Corrine Bowker) who both live in the UAE and they have a cafe named 'The Lime Tree Cafe' now in two places (Jumeirah and Ibn Battuta) so their website tells me. Maybe you know it, apparently it is well supported by expats?
