I live in the Staffordshire village of Kinver which is about 6 miles from the town of Stourbridge. In due course I will upload some info on Kinver so that you can all see what a wonderful place I live in. I will also attempt some pages about this unique area of England that I was born and have always lived in. It is an area steeped in cultural history.
Only in the last 10 years since I married have I been able to travel. How I envy those who give up their work, pack a bag and go travelling for extended periods of time. I wish I could have done that when I was younger. Now I shall plan to do it in retirement and visit every page on VT while I make my plans.
I am blessed with a wonderful husband in Tony, who is my travelling companion, and who enjoys the places we visit as much as I do and never complains when I ask him to carry my bag because it is too heavy. |
|  | Destinations 1996 Goa 1997 Delhi, Mumbai, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, Ranakpur and Aurangabad 1998 Delhi, Shekawati region, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer 1999 Sri Lanka 1999 Malaysia 2000 Barbados 2001 Malaysia, Singapore 2002 Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam 2003 Bangkok and Vietnam 2004 Northern Thailand & Cambodia Please bear with me while I build my pages for these places. I am quite new here and these things take time. I have a lot of photos to scan and a lot of information to write up. At present I think my Angkor Wat page is my best with some good tips and photos are in the travelogues. On return from this years trip I shall seriously update my Vietnam pages, particularly for the areas where my previous information has been sketchy. |
Where to next? No time scale: A big trip to Australia (maybe 3 months) New Zealand The Galapagos Peru
The advent of low cost airlines here in Europe, and some that actually fly from my local airport, means that day trips and weekend breaks to European cities are now very affordable. Our local airport is Birmingham and at present there are only two budget airlines flying here. I am sure that in future there will be many more and that choice will become available to the residents of the West Midlands. |  | |
