INTRO Words from our 2007-8 gap year trip were written before we left home , we constructed the old photo website, which we used on our travels to let people back home know what we were doing or possibly more importantly that we were still alive. A few pictures and details were added pre-travel to show what we expected and had planned to do. The reality as always was probably slightly different but the big picture in the plan we fundamentally achieved and we are very proud of that fact! (Note our original words written on our travels are in ITALICS ;) ) You will see them at the start of each page. They were culled from our old Graphicorps website. NOTES it was Polish railway workers who rented our house not as suggested by Belvoir! Austrians. Whilst we were away on our 2007-8 trip , we paid A$31 each for a 6 month Australian Visa. Post being there, Samoa has since swapped to the other side of the international date line, which makes travelling from Fiji to Samoa to Tonga, which we did a whole lot easier. “where did we lose that day?” Also whilst there our rip-off Samoan taxi driver told us they were looking at changing the side of the road they drive on, which would be a huge expense for a poor Pacific Island country, not sure they ever did! 02. 02. 02. 02. WORDS We leave on the 26/10/2007!!!! for our HOLIDAY 2007-8 trip, yippee! A few things as we prepare for our GREAT ADVENTURE. It has been interesting packing, getting lodgers (we now have a bunch of Austrian engineers) and generally booking the trip. In between we have been visiting / saying our goodbyes to various friends and relatives (you may be in the rogues gallery here!!!) we will miss you all but remember a year isn't that long and technology (one of Keef's favourite words) will keep us in touch. It just ain't like Vasco De Gama's day these days....Bon Voyage, and hopefully enjoy the site All overall feedback on this site should be directed to keefhwebdesigns@outlook.com and should cover only HOLIDAY 2007-8 Note: You can leave ratings against any photo, we would love to see them UPDATE in 2020 Sadly you can no longer do this technically for site HOLIDAY 2007-8, apologies 03. 03. 03. 03.

Our Outdoor Travel Blog for 2007 & 2008 GAP YEAR Travel Blog | HOLIDAY 2007-8 | KeefH Web Designs On the 31st July 2007, I had the opportunity to take early retirement and a redundancy package from my then employer, which afforded us the chance to travel and realize a lifelong dream of returning to Australia, the place of both our youths. We named this experience HOLIDAY 2007-8. While planning that HOLIDAY 2007-8 opportunity and packing up our property (we let it through an agency to Polish railway workers, which helped provide additional funding for our HOLIDAY 2007-8 adventures), I also focused on ensuring our website reflected the best travel website design standards to share our journey effectively. We decided to include stops in California, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and several Pacific islands, drawing inspiration from my love of rugby, especially the Fijian 7s rugby. Annie took early retirement too, and together we embarked on the first big adventure of a lifetime. Created for customer by KeefH Web Designs, a travel blog website that covers the holiday 2007-8. This site covers a gap year long holiday to America, California, the pacific islands, Fiji (both main islands), Western Samoa (both main islands, savaii and upolu), tonga (and 1 island , daydream resort), Australia, New Zealand (all 3 islands, north, south and stewart) and a break touchdown at changi airport, singapore.
