Our second trip to Dubai! We first went in November 2007, this time was always going to be different. Foe & Erin moved here in October and we decided it was time to go and say ‘hello’. We booked flights on a whim as they were dirt cheap and popped along. During our last [...] I adored Hong Kong. It was my first taste of a bustling Asian city. We stopped off in Hong Kong for a few days on the way back from our Christmas and New Year trip to Australia. In all honesty, I wasn’t looking forward to it but we agreed we may as well stop [...] This photo was taken during our trip to California in 2008.
