I rather like those Rediscover this day reminders that Google Photos and other social media tools generate. I can’t believe it’s been eight years since my first overseas trip alone!

In a little over a week from now I’m going to heading off alone on another overseas adventure. Fortunately, it will only be a few days before the rest of the family catch up with me in Japan.

On that first trip I left behind a seven month year old Alex while I attended a Plone workshop in London. Along the way I stopped by Singapore and Hong Kong and made a day trip to Ghent in Belgium.

Despite missing the family it was one of my favourite trips with so many vivid moments. Maybe I’ll share some of them here over the next few days, but you can also read the details at travelling allrite.
