The timeline has a couple of holes. But here's a short synopsis of the last 29 years. (And someone finally included our website! Although we started that in 2012, NOT 2023.)

An issue that could have put a BIG spanner in the works of our Aussie trip was rapidly resolved to our advantage by @ #chinasouthernairlines

Guangzhou to Adelaide flight cancelled 4 2 days.

Switched us onto Malaysian Airlines via KL at no extra cost. Less flight time. Home sooner. Well done!

We did the micro-light flight and rafting. Both pretty hair raising! 😳

We try and make regular visits back to our favourites. Although that can be tiring as you try and catch up with all your favourite people and places.

We're doing our 85th sit atm. Over. Dozen countries on 5 continents. Saved 100s of thousands in accommodation and had a much better travel experience.

Yes. Mackenzie Beach near Larnaca

Japan?

Having company is the reason why getting a housesitter is so much better for pets than having drop ins. And security for the home as well. All our fur babies love having us there. But we still get plenty of time to explore. Our current 3 in Cyprus.

Lovely. I do love a good fancy housesit. Especially those with views.

Catch Our Travel Bug @catchourtravelbug.bsky.social · Nov 29

We housesit cats almost exclusively. I can commiserate.
