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...

Minion Fam Jam: Charlottetown

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...

Wrapping up my Trip to Morocco

It's now time to do a wrap up on my fall trip to Morocco. In a last hurrah, both Gimpy and I have deemed this as our last "big" trip together. Over the years we've been fortunate enough to do embark on some amazing adventures. So we ensure we put an exclamation mark on our time travelling together! If you've spent anytime to read through the trip, Thank You! If you haven't and want to, you can...

So we get up pretty early, snag some breakfast at the hotel and pile into our car for the long journey south. While the main "point" of the day is to get from point a to point b, we did make a few stops along the way. We did some pit stops for bathroom...

Hakodate

Hokuto Limited Express Sadly, my time in Sapporo is at an end and I need to make my way south to Hakodate. There are no shinkansen trains on the island of Hokkaido itself so the trip between Sapporo and Hakodate will take roughly four hours on the Hokuto Limited Express. Regardless, I'm fairly excited for this part of the journey. In my research this train trip is supposed to be incredibly...

More Road Tripping and Relaxing

Breakfast and Coffee Right across the street from our airBnB is a cool little coffee shop called Hawaiian Village Coffee. It seems fairly popular because in the morning there is a line right out the door. We end up waiting a little before ordering and getting our coffees. In the same plaza is a McDonald's and who could pass up an opportunity to get a Hawaiian McDonald's breakfast of rice, eggs...
