Onward to Siem Reap and Angkor Wat After my brief visit to Laos, I now make my way to Siem Reap where I plan to visit Angkor Wat. I have a morning flight to Bangkok. Then a five hour layover in Bangkok before heading over to Siem Reap all on Air Asia. Save for a delay on my second flight, they are pretty straight forward. One noteworthy thing is the opportunity to try Air Asia's Uncle Chin's...

A Long way to Laos

I am setting out for a trip to Asia today! Ultimately, I will end up in Japan to meet  up with Lebron and Antetokounmpo but before I get there I will spend some time in South East Asia. My first stop will be Laos. But in order to get there I have a pretty long few days of flying. It starts with a very quick hop from Vancouver to Seattle to overnight before an early morning flight to LA. I stay...

Looking back at 2024, a Minion perspective!

So every trip this year, is with the...

Quebec City It's our last full day on the cruise and our stop is Quebec City. This is my first time visiting, so I'm looking forward to the chance to explore a little bit. After breakfast onboard, we disembark the boat. Conveniently, the port is adjacent to Old Quebec, so within minutes we're already in the historical part of town. We're not in any rush so we take our time making our way through...

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island Our port of call today is Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. This my second visit with the Parental Minions since we visited back in 2021. Since we had a more extensive stay that time we didn't have a set plan other than to wander around. So off the ship we go and we spend our first little while in Charlottetown exploring the waterfront and retracing some...
