2025 travel plans

The NSW North Coast for two weeks in January.
Portugal, Paris, Sicily, Italy for later in the year. Still putting the jigsaw together. But I love the planning and anticipation.
 
Still in early planning but looking at variously

- a few short interstate trips - friends and rellies

- a cheapish week somewhere in Asia to relax, massages and food (not Bali)

- 4-6 weeks railways of Switzerland and visiting the places in various locales of France on my list I missed in last trip.

- constantly looking at cruise specials

- Iceland / Norway / northern lights 2026
 
Jan - SYD for AFF cruise #2 then to NZ
Apr - SYD for my significant birthday
 
I know about:
Tennessee, Lyon France, Hull UK, Madison US, Abu Dhabi... or Hamilton Canada
so far

Domestic - Cairns is very likely, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane... Perth? Maybe
 
London for a week in the first week of April.
Rome and Italy for a few weeks in the beginning of May.
Both for work, but a relaxed pace.

Just submitted an abstract for Hull...
Hopefully, nothing more that the above. looking forward to a quiet year... lol
 
Feb - Heron Island to see the Turtles
June/July - Germany and Switzerland
Sept - Scenic cruise Darwin - Raja Ampat

Still a few empty slots to fill in.
 
The first week of january is the end of our Christmas Thailand trip.
February. Sydney for 55 years since graduation.
March. Week in North Island NZ.
May maybe a Singapore - Mumbai cruise followed by 2 weeks in Singapore and Thailand. cruise will probably be cancelled but the post cruise trip will be done anyway.

Then a gap until our family Christmas trip. Probably in Samoa.
It looks like we have filled the gap between May and Christmas. In September almost certainly a cruise from Southampton to Lisbon. apart from departure and arrival ports only 1 other port we have been to. The Channel Islands and 3 nights in Bordeaux the highlights.

Spend some time in northern Wales and then Devon before the cruise.
 
I already knew I was going to Morocco in Sept 2025, but didn't know how I'd get there. Now I've confirmed reward SQ J to FRA, so I'll get the train to London via Brussels and frolick around London, eat at a Michelin star restaurant, see Phantom of the Opera (which was my very first musical 30 years ago) and go on a day trip to the countryside, probably Cotswolds. I'm excited!
