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!

If you've spent anytime to read through the trip, Thank You! If you haven't and want to, you can...

The Long Way Home (In JAL First Class)

After leaving Bahrain I begin my long journey home. Instead of a more direct routing, I will be doing a series of flights over the course of three days to get home. This means an overnight flight from Bahrain to Bangkok. Spending the day in Bangkok. Then another overnight flight to Tokyo. Spending the morning in Tokyo, then flying to Los Angeles and then north to Vancouver. Why you may ask? Well...

If you haven't and want to, you can find the whole trip here. Here we...
