Relaxing Farmstay at Perth

Relaxing family trip (+ Terence & family) in Spring (November) at Perth,  we spent 3 nights at the Settler's Rest Farmstay (the highlight), and 3 nights at Perth City. 

Not many travel photos to show for, but tons of the activities there, which will give us beautiful memories for years to come. Our princess had a blast: running around in wide-open spaces, the experience with the animals (petting, feeding, chasing, collecting eggs), playing with the older kids, plucking and eating strawberries, and all the ice-creams and chocolates that she got to indulge in.

Good company, good climate, a daughter beaming with happiness... what more can a father ask for?

Family getaway in Central Vietnam

Our first trip out as a family, Daddy, Mummy & Chloe, it was a splendid long weekend. Besides chilling out at the beautifully located and designed InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsular resort, we managed to have a couple of adventures venturing out to Hoi An and Hue as well. With the exception of a few minor incidents, I thought Baby, Mummy and I had a good time bonding. Happy Days! Now time to think of how to put that Ambassador membership to better use...

Adventure at Hawai'i, the Big Island

Our second club experience, Big Island really is BIG on activities. Having relaxing massages in an Oceanside Hale at the Fairmont, brilliant driving and hiking at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, horse-riding in Waipio Valley, catching the sunset and stargazing at Mauna Kea, and more! - there really is a lot for anyone to look forward to, especially the adventure seekers... gotta work towards next year's now, there's this sunrise at Haleakala that I still need to check off my list!
