Nepal is still a shangri-lal where the romance and danger of Everest awaits along with age-old temples, ancient culture, beautiful rice terraces and friendly people.

My father once gave me a pencil stub for Christmas. With it came a scrap of paper - his version of a card - and a message probably written with the same pencil.

Emersions and Diversions in Paradise
A real home kind brand of tourism, Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea is rural, earthy and vibrant- the best of both worlds. This pacific paradise is a no frills experience of a life time. Reefs and islands, markets, museums, art galeries and just relaxing on the beach are all part of this destination.

Tropical paradise
The flight crosses some of the roughest terrain in the world - battle scarred Kokoda slopes from WWII - but emerges in a tropical paradise... Madang.Even the name has an exotic ring to it. And it is. Islands litter the lagoon with coral reefs, sunken Japanese bombers and coconut fringed shores with friendly village people.
The great thing is it`s only a few hours by flight from Australia on the eastern coast of Papua New Guinea.
