  • Inspired
  • by
  • their
  • adult
  • children’s
  • travels,
  • Tony
  • and
  • Mary
  • Dillon
  • developed
  • their
  • own
  • desire
  • for
  • travel.
  • After
  • short
  • trips
  • to
  • England
  • and
  • the
  • United
  • States
  • of
  • America,
  • a
  • grand
  • plan
  • to
  • travel
  • abroad
  • for
  • twelve
  • months,
  • began
  • to
  • emerge.
  • A
  • window
  • of
  • opportunity
  • opened
  • up
  • in
  • 2013/2014.
  • With
  • sabbatical
  • leave
  • secured,
  • they
  • left
  • home
  • in
  • Melbourne
  • for
  • London
  • on
  • 1
  • July
  • 2013,
  • to
  • begin
  • a
  • largely
  • undetermined
  • tour,
  • primarily
  • of
  • Europe.
  • Before
  • leaving
  • Australia,
  • the
  • idea
  • of
  • an
  • on-line
  • travel
  • diary
  • took
  • shape
  • to
  • record
  • the
  • year’s
  • experience,
  • and
  • to
  • allow
  • family
  • and
  • friends
  • to
  • follow
  • their
  • travels.
  • Tony
  • began
  • writing
  • the
  • diary
  • with
  • straightforward
  • daily
  • accounts
  • that
  • became
  • increasingly
  • more
  • descriptive,
  • with
  • good
  • feedback
  • from
  • readers.
  • On
  • completion
  • of
  • both
  • the
  • year
  • of
  • travel
  • and
  • the
  • diary,
  • he
  • was
  • encouraged
  • to
  • convert
  • the
  • diary
  • into
  • a
  • book,
  • to
  • share
  • their
  • experiences,
  • observations,
  • itineraries,
  • and
  • travel
  • tips,
  • with
  • the
  • wider
  • public.
  • This
  • book
  • is
  • an
  • unedited
  • account
  • of
  • Tony
  • and
  • Mary’s
  • daily
  • activities
  • over
  • the
  • year,
  • as
  • described
  • by
  • Tony
  • at
  • the
  • end
  • of
  • each day.
