I had a work trip last week to Chennai, India. Being on business, I travelled without the family for a change. Altho I considered packing 11 month old Owen when he immediately fell asleep in my arms when I took him for a final quick cuddle in the morning. The journey from Dubai started nicely in […]

LEGOLAND Windsor, UK – 03 Oct 2013
As part of the boys’ birthday this year we treated them with a trip to LEGOLAND, in Windsor. The boys and Elle hadn’t visited the UK before, and with the short time frames we had of just the weekend, this was not the trip for much of a visit. This trip was all about the […]
Flying home
On a plane I always enjoy a window seat. I’ve never tired of that childhood excitement at seeing the takeoff, flying up into the clouds, and seeing the miniature scenery on the ground below. Flying out of Dubai at 10:25am is one of the most beautiful window seats possible. We flew around and (what looked) […]
Boys Aussie trip – 25 March 2012
In hindsight, the 16 hour flights always go quickly. This time, our entire trip lasting less than a week went just as quickly. The following are some of the memorable moments, in our home country of Australia. The boys as always were very good flyers, although they avoided proper sleep as far as possible. This […]
Ferrari World – 26 November 2011
We’ve had a friend from Australia stay with us, who happens to be an extremely huge Ferrari and formula 1 racing fan. So today we went with him to Ferrari World, which possibly made his day or decade. Lewis at three years is at the age where he’s really interested in cars. It was nothing […]
Old London Town
London, what a magical city. It’s almost indescribable, but there is a buzz to this place which I’ve not really experienced elsewhere. Monday evening I woke up at 3:30am to Skype my family back in Dubai. Quite unexpectedly, when I came down to the ground floor wifi at this ungodly hour, there were a dozen […]
Quick UK trip September 2011
I’ve had the opportunity to attend a two day conference in London. But I figured making the most of my trip, and using the Friday & Saturday of my Dubai weekend to also see Cardiff, Wales. My flight to Birmingham was extremely busy – just like all our flights to the UK. I saw the […]
The Workshops Railways Museum
We were in Brisbane for our final day in Australia. So we made the most of the day with a trip to The Workshops Railways Museum with the boys’ grandparents. The weather was terrible, so we took two devices to keep the rain away. They’re called umbrellas. The railway museum has become an annual visit […]
Tassie winter roadtrip
The weather wasn’t great for the start of our family campervan trip down the East coast, to the South of Tasmania. We’ve been to Tas plenty of times, yet the kids have never seen these areas. Our first stop for the kids to stretch their legs was Avoca – home to perhaps the worlds smallest […]
Cricket @ 7he Sevens
On the weekend we went out to 7he Sevens stadium to attend the annual charity cricket match between the famous Lord’s Taverners and our semi-professional Fly Emirates team. It was billed as a large fund-raiser, with even buses organised from work to pick up people. Sadly though, there was nobody really there except the […]
