TUNISIA, 1969: "I can still remember the scent of the jasmine as we walked along the dusty road. I was hooked. Travel was my new passion."

FIJI ISLANDS, 1976: "There were lots of handsome smiling men in white shirts and sulus (wrap-around skirts) that showed off their dark, muscular legs. Rugby playing legs, I later discovered."

ADELAIDE, 1986: "This was my first ever trip to Australia, so it was exciting to be met at the airport by a toy koala that played Waltzing Matilda."

EGYPT, 1992: "Then he mentioned the crocodiles and the romantic moment passed."
