Looking back at 2024, a Minion perspective!

ByTravelling Minion December 29, 2024 1 Comment
2024 isn't as big of a travel year as years past. This coincides with a small shift in my travel focus. At the end of 2023 I indicated that I wanted to take more trips with friends and family. I have been immensely fortunate to check off bucket list items over the years. For this year I wanted to intentionally focus on sharing experiences with others. So every trip this year, is with the...

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...

Sadly all good things must come to an end. It's now time to leave Japan, but at least I'll be doing it in style as I will be flying in ANA's First Class Suites! So after an early morning wake up, I check out of my hotel and make my way to Tokyo Haneda Airport. Haneda Nihombashi Bridge Haneda is a very cool airport in its own right. While most of my time is spent in terminal 3, there are lots of...

Back to Tokyo

I have a late morning Shinkansen departure booked as I am heading back to Tokyo today.  So after a bit of a sleep in and a lazy start to the day, I check out of my hotel and make the short walk to the JR Train station in Hakodate. As I have a bit of time before boarding my train I spend the half hour exploring the station a little. I take some time to browse and pick up an ekiben for the journey...
