The Travel Almanac

We are Rob and Clare, and this site is a collection of travel notes from our traveling adventures plus lots more (see about us for more about us!). In 2008-09 we completed a road trip around Australia in our campervan. Read about what we got up to on our 'Round Oz Travel Diary. Our next journey is to Malaysia in July 2010, this time taking our two kids on our first overseas trip with them.

There is so much to see in the world, and so much written about it. There is a lot of information online, though much of it is the same old stuff rehashed. What makes this site unique is that we only write about places we have visited, situations we have experienced, and information we have personally collected.

If you are planning a trip, it is essential that you do some research. This site provides all the information you need to get you on your way. Here are just some pages you can start with:
