Wrapping up our Minion Family Trip to the East Coast

It's time to wrap up our Minion Family trip to the East coast of North America. It revolves around two main elements: New York City and a maritime cruise. But the primary focus is entirely about spending time together as a family. So regardless of the different places visited the memories made are always going to be the "destination" for this trip. If you've spent anytime to read through the...

Minion Famjam: Last Stop, Quebec!

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...

Flying Home

Today I start my journey home! After waking up and spending a bit of time packing, I head down to the restaurant for another excellent breakfast! Instead of describing the breakfast from yesterday, I do want to highlight how happy I am that many of the Middle Eastern hotels seem to offer a wide variety of fresh juices. Those that know me know I'm a huge sucker for watermelon juice and I am super...
