The general category for all of Jeff & Jenn’s travel adventures around the world.
Our Alaska cruise is just over 3 weeks away and I am getting excited. We have made most of our plans with our friends Denise & Spank and Elise & Bruce for our excursions and outings while on the cruise. Our four friends will be doing a 4-5 day land tour…
I messed up – didn’t bring the CF card reader to Napa from San Jose. So no pictures till Sunday. I’ll just give a brief snipet of what we did today. Ate breakfast with Mom, Dad, Sarah and George. Yummy pancakes that I made. Then we drove to Fairfield where…
So today (Thursday June 30th), at exactly the time it is now (4:45pm), but 16 hours ago – we were in Tokyo boarding a plane for the US. How odd it is to live the same day twice. Does that mean we did some time travel? I think so! Day started…
And what really sucks is that I have no Annual Pass right now which means no Disney for me till our November trip to Florida. Tough life right? Woke up later this morning which was nice – had breakfast at St. Marcs – chocolate gooey croissant, yum. Our day at…
So I almost said no to going to a second Disney park in Tokyo — but I’m sure glad Jeff talked me into it! The park is huge, but managable and there is great attention to detail and theming of different areas. Really I now think everyone should experience it…
…and 3 of the places we tried to eat before resorting to room service were closed… That’s the price of rice I guess – quite literally. So we just shared some steak teryakki over rice and Jeff has found some English James Bond. Yay! Today was full of not understanding…
So… Japan has not put me quite as at ease as Hong Kong did. Our room is smaller and with fewer ammenities – no English TV, no wi-fi in room (though there is a cable connection) and there is not as much English, that’s for sure. But we do have…
YAWN! This was an early morning at 5:30am for a flight at 9:25am. This airport is so large it has 2 train stations, 500+ gates and a required map to get you around. When we got here we ran into a small problem, Cathay Pacific did not get the memo…
…but thanks for asking 60 bagillion times! It is absolutely hillarious to me what is peddled on the streets of Kowloon. The afore mentioned items are only the beginning – then there are perhaps questionable massage offers. And man they know how to play you – achey feet from all…
Went into the city today for some amazing sights. The weather was better – well less wind meant it felt hotter, but the cyclone storm has passed. We got on the “Big Bus Tour” for the day (tomorrow too) and went around one of the 4 paths 1.5 times. First…
Hong Kong Disneyland today was tons of fun! We woke up at, oh, 3:30am… putzed around till the Exec lounge opened at 6, ate breakfast and started our travels to DL. It took practically no time to get there which meant we were there an hour before opening, but we…
Safe in Hong Kong! Can’t believe it took 90 minutes to get to our airport (about a mile away if that) after we landed. It didn’t drag on, but yeah it is about 9pm here which is great because we are tired, have a comfy bed, the discovery channel, and…
Yay for free internet at YVR! This trip has so far (knock on wood!) been a breeze compared to our last international experience. And I just need to reitterate how much I LOVE Air Canada – back to that later. After the chaos of yesterday came to a close and…
Taking a 2nd look at the currency that we got to take with us, I can’t imagine how big the Japanese wallets are? These bills are fat! They are about 50% taller than US Dollars and will not fit in my wallet unless I fold them into smaller portions. They…
So fun today was! We met up with Jessie, Rick, Zach and Michah for lunch before heading into Coronado to stay where else? Marriott! After spending some time lounging at the pool, I shot a wedding and then came back to have what I think was the most amazing bath…
