@jollyhobos It will be a short visit to Brissy to see Kid #3

@jollyhobos We always just miss each other!
We are in Copenhagen in late July then Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and then Santarini before making a slow trip back to NZ visiting 2 of our kids in South Korea and Australia

@jollyhobos 2 days there and going dog sledding which will be cool and then about 10 days sailing around coast of Norway

We are also running out of time to aee puffins just missing them in Iceland & Orkneys (too early), and Wales

Hoping to see polar bears and walrus

Fingers crossed

@lifewentthatway It all depends on ypur length of trip and what climates you are heading to.

We are travelling nonstop for well over a year. We had to contend with winter in Switzerland and summer in Asia. We have it down to one medium suitcase each and one backpack.

@tspadventure Excited to be finally visiting Keukenhof Gardens to see the tulips. 🌷

Last time I was here it wasn’t tulip season!

Just arrived in Amsterdam after 8 days in Belgium. The Netherlands is our 34th country we have travelled to since we left NZat the end of September!

My favourite photo I took in Ghent, Belgium. Its looks like a painting!

@jollyhobos At some stage we must be in the same country at the same time!

Just arrived in Amsterdam (country #35 on this trip) this afternoon and excited that tomorrow will actually be really warm (25°). We loved Italy 🇮🇹

@lattesnluggage We have a joint list of 24 things but mostly they are lifestyle changes

A couple of examples - Travelling quickly moving every 1-3 days we have not been able to find time to meditate and do yoga. So they are high priority to tackle in 2024.
