This blog is to share our travel/life adventures with family and friends (and interested others!)

We've had a few tip offs (from Spirit) that a big story will unfold over the next few months...so you can be sure it'll be interesting. We know it will be big, but we as yet don't quite know what it will look like. Watch this space! (...and in the meantime, our general travel adventures will more than suffice :o)

Added July 5: This paragraph above was written some months ago, and indeed it has been big, and is getting bigger! It's blowing our socks off!

The  pre-travel blog has also been retained for its interesting stories (or perhaps 'incredible stories' would be a better description)...you just wouldn't read about it!

The links on the left unfold all, so enjoy...   Maia and Sahayak

The happy wanderers have returned to Australia!
This blog archive now serves as a nice memento...
