Travel Vest

September 15, 2019September 15, 2019 ~ Brian ~ Leave a comment

One thing I wear which helps me carry on more than the Airline's 7kg is a Travel Vest. There are several travel vests on the market but the one I use is a ScottEvest which has 24 pockets Unlike a lot of photographer's/fisherman's vests the pockets aren't really obvious. The photo gives an indication of … Continue reading Travel Vest

My ‘Go To’ Checked Bag

September 10, 2019August 10, 2024 ~ Brian ~ Leave a comment

Although I always have a carry on, which will keep me going for a couple of weeks, I still take a checked bag for long trips. This enables me to take a few more shirts, and possibly some formal wear if required. The bag is a Samsonite S'Cure cabin sized spinner case. (Unfortunatly now discontinued) … Continue reading My ‘Go To’ Checked Bag

Great Way To Get Your Bearings

August 30, 2019August 30, 2019 ~ Brian ~ Leave a comment

One of the easiest way I have found to get an appreciation of the place you are visiting are the 'Hop On Hop Off' buses. In some cities there are even 'Hop On Hop Off' boats. The buses are probably a bit overkill for smaller places, but we have found them a boon for big … Continue reading Great Way To Get Your Bearings

Folding Coat Hangers

August 25, 2019June 29, 2019 ~ Brian ~ Leave a comment

I don't buy a lot of 'travel gadgets' myself, as I feel that most of them add weight without any benefit. Recently someone else bought me some of these folding coat hangers and I have found them really useful. As I generally travel with carry on luggage only I tend to wash clothes every 3-4 … Continue reading Folding Coat Hangers

No Jeans

August 17, 2019June 23, 2019 ~ Brian ~ Leave a comment

I own a couple of pairs of denim jeans, which I like. . . . but not when I travel. The things that make them great for doing things around the house make them a bad choice when you are travelling. The strong, thick material which is great to protect your skin makes them some … Continue reading No Jeans

Airline Food

August 4, 2019August 1, 2024 ~ Brian ~ Leave a comment

Overall Airline Meals seem to have a fairly bad reputation . . . but is it deserved? The Good I think its amazing you can be eating a meal 20,000m in the air travelling at 1,000km/hour, several hours travel from a kitchen. I have never got food poisoning from an airline meal, or even heard … Continue reading Airline Food

Packing For A Cold Climate

July 30, 2019August 17, 2024 ~ Brian ~ Leave a comment

Lots of people worry about packing when travelling somewhere cold. Unless you are going on a hiking, or sking holiday I don't find it that different. How cold are you going to get? When I am in colder places I spend a fair amount of time indoors in museums and cafes. When going between indoor … Continue reading Packing For A Cold Climate

Stopping In Backpacker Hostels

July 25, 2019July 27, 2019 ~ Brian ~ Leave a comment

Over the years I have stayed at plenty of backpacker hostels and we still use them from time to time. Low Cost In Australia it can be $20 - $30 for a bunk in a dormitory, and much lower in a developing country. These days it's not all dormitory beds and in most hostels you … Continue reading Stopping In Backpacker Hostels
