The diary so far

International

Every trip we’ve written up, in the same easy format. Each one has its own colours. Pick a vibe to narrow it down.

Burj Khalifa, Global Village and the old souks, done at family pace from a self-catering apartment.

Lochs, castles and the Isle of Skye by car, then the train down to London for Harry Potter and the sights.

Canada’s big cities and Niagara Falls, then Key West, Kennedy Space Center and Disney World in Florida.

Gardens by the Bay, Sentosa and Universal Studios, then Petronas Towers and Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur.

Both islands by rental car, Christmas in Queenstown, Milford Sound and a slow finish in the Bay of Islands.

Our 20-day family plan for Japan: Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Nara and Osaka, with Disney, Universal and Pokémon along the way.

Our 10-day family plan for Malaysia: Langkawi’s cable car and mangroves, Kuala Lumpur’s towers and museums, and Genting’s theme parks.
