Another Minion Sibling Trip! This time to Vietnam and Japan

It's time for another sibling trip! This time we are heading to Vietnam and Japan! But we have a long day(s) of travel ahead of us and part of the excitement are our flights to Asia. We have some aspirational flights out of Seattle so need to make our way south of our home in Vancouver. Quick Shuttle to Seattle To get down we had looked into flying and training down. However both options were...

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.

We're not in any rush so we take our time making our way through...

Minion Fam Jam: Charlottetown

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...
