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.

I know, until I was a teenager, we'd have one flight (well, return trip) per year from our local airport to Jersey for our annual holiday. A highlight of my childhood!

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...

One night in Canberra

It's the April school holidays and we are too busy to have a break but need one because of that. And because it's the Easter weekend the options are limited, so we just drive down to Canberra for the night. No, this isn't our first trip for 2023. I wrote about Japan on another site .  I refuse to wake up early so we depart after 8.30 AM. There is not much to say about the drive except that the clouds seem so low and Lake George is very full. We stop at a rest area and at the lookout up the hill to take it all in. Everyone is hungry so we first stop in Dickson and then can't think of anything to eat, so I drive us to Civic, where we can't decide and end up eating at the Singaporean Killiney Kopitiam branch.  The Canberra Centre has nice shops. I dream of getting an iPad from the Apple Store, we buy a blanket and toothbrushes from Muji and wish that Lego wasn't so expensive. Nothing we can't get in Sydney, but then we rarely go out shopping in the city. It...
