Emma's Bucket List

If you’ve seen pictures of white sandy beaches in Thailand, the chances are they could have been taken at Phi Phi. The islands in this group are administratively part of Krabi province, Phi Phi Le and Phi Phi Don, are known for their excellent snorkeling and tropical beaches. Phi Phi Le is also known as […]

Some years ago, we bought one of my Dads a helicopter flying lesson for his 60th birthday gift. He had a PPL for a fixed wing plane, and had always wanted to try it. He enjoyed it a great deal, though admitted afterwards that he preferred flying fixed wing to rotor. At the time, I’m […]
