It’s been a pretty solid week here at Romance HQ. Plenty of work going on (including our little facelift on the site) and some excellent socialising too. We’re also still putting our itinerary together for our next big trip in May. We’re heading over to Europe for a couple of months to check out a

In my experience, the best way to fix those post-travel blues is quite simple: book another trip. I’d barely finished putting my luggage

It’s been another crazy week here at Romance HQ. We’ve been trying to get ready for lots of up-coming travel. Not only a big trip we’ve got planned for the UK and Europe in the middle of the year, but also a couple of smaller trips much closer to today. In fact, as you read

What a week it’s been! There’s been so much new stuff going on, my head’s still spinning. First off, we headed up to Port Stephens – a beautiful little beachside peninsular 2 and a half hours out of Sydney. Our plan was to help Mrs R’s sister renovate the new house they’ve bought there. I
