The Sunshine Coast is one of Australia’s hottest destinations for white sand beaches, charming villages, and world-class wineries.

But if you’re wanting a break from the beaches and city life, then a trip to the pristine Noosa Everglades is the best way to do it.

Hervey Bay, Queensland, is a spot that is well known as the whale-watching capital of Australia.

The Hervey Bay whale watching season runs pretty much the same as the rest of Australia, from June to October.

20 years ago, I lived in Dublin for 12-months with Caroline not long after we got married, and to this day the year 2003 holds some of our most cherished life and travel memories. My recent 8-day Ireland tour brought those memories flooding back!

Ireland, it might be a small island, but it packs a big punch with rich history, breathtaking landscapes, pubs on every street, and welcoming people whose primary focus is being friendly and having good craic (That’s Irish for a good time).

I fell in love with the Irish culture and its rich history, the rugged coastline, the vibrant cities and small towns, the castles, and the green rolling countryside. It’s called The Emerald Isle for a reason!

Living in Ireland is when I acquired the taste of Guinness (still my favorite beer) and
