Welcome to the further adventures of Howard and Irene (handistravels)


Welcome to Handistravels (Howard And Irene's travels).

We're a senior Australian couple who love travel and, after we married in 2007, decided to do as much as possible (affordable). Howard has been around, Irene not so much. So to start, in 2010 Howard decided to introduce Irene to people he has met and places he has been to, with a few mutual friends and people Irene knew added in, we had a plan for nearly 20 weeks of travel.

We hit on the idea of writing a blog before we left on our first overseas journey on 12 February 2010. While Howard never managed to write a post, I had so much fun writing and keeping a history of that trip and our readers said that they enjoyed it just as much, that I decided each subsequent trip would be a continuation. While it would have been fun for me to simply continue blogging once we returned home, time and life defeated me - positively, I must add.

However, once we get back out on the road, the travel blog will come into its own again. Join us in 2017.

That's us in Zion National Park. We're overlooking the Angel's Landing (peak), possibly the best walk in the park

Some photos.

 In 2017 we explored Iceland for 3 weeks by car then the Scottish Isles (unfortunately missed out on Shetland), Scotland, particularly northern coast and the Highlands, through England down to Cornwall with a 3 day walk - Padstow to Fowey, during some of the hottest days on record.  Then we returned to Edinburgh via Wales, Yorkshire and Newcastle before leaving for home around 5th July.  In 2018 we plan 9 weeks between western and eastern Canada.  Join us again please.  August 15th 2018 We Are Here..............
