In four years...


I calculated some travel statistics for Alex last night. In 4 years of life he has:

  • Taken 42 flights
  • Caught 14 different aircraft types (including subtypes)
  • 11 different airlines (by AOC)
  • Passed through 19 different airports
  • Visited 12 countries (13 if you treat Hong Kong as separate from China)
By the end of next month he should have added 9 more flights, 1 more aircraft type, 3 more airlines, 5 more airports and another country (unless you treat Taiwan as China). 

My stats at the same age were 2, 1, 1, 2, 1.

I think Matthew's may be private and Amy public, but how the world has changed since we were kids.

My first overseas trip: Singapore and Malaysia

I've always loved to travel. My first memory is of sitting in a an aircraft, aged 18 months or so. Yet I never believed that I could travel overseas. To me, it seemed like something you did when you retired, or if you were rich. That all changed when I met B. She had not only travelled overseas, she was from overseas . B was born in Malaysia and arrived in Australia, with her family, in 1988. She still had relatives and friends in Malaysia and Singapore and she, along with the remainder of her family, planned to return for a visit during the Australian summer of 1995. At the time I was staying in B's mother's house while we were studying at university. After B's father passed away the year before I was the nominal "man" of the house and its high maintenance garden; her brother Michael was studying up in Queensland. B and I were quite inseparable and her mother kindly offered to pay for me to join them on their vacation. So it was that I obtained my very firs...
