ByTravelling Minion January 5, 2025 0 Comments
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.

It starts with a very quick hop from Vancouver to Seattle to overnight before an early morning flight to LA. I stay...

ByTravelling Minion March 12, 2023 3 Comments
After leaving the TWA hotel, I make my way back to JFK Terminal 4 which is where Singapore Airlines flies out of. With some time to kill, and being in New York, I figure a visit to Shake Shack is in order.

After a bit of a sleep in, I get myself ready to check out. Because I don't leave Malaysia until the evening, I arrange with the hotel to hold my bags. This way I can roam the city a bit more freely.

Since there is a variety of food options, we pick up whatever jumps out at us. For me, I get a pork...
