Driving in the Azores was just fun. It was fun to be a passenger and look around. My dad was having fun with Formula One, Mini edition. I’m looking forward to hiking in the Azores, too. I remarked at how many bicyclists and runners there were and my dad said it’s because there’s nothing else […]
All Around Sao Miguel, An Azores Getaway v.2
The West Side of Sao Miguel Happy to say I had a desperately needed solid night’s sleep. I still got up at a ridiculous hour to have some coffee, blog, write in my gratitude journal. I also planned today’s Sao Miguel agenda, and showered, all by the time my dad woke up. All was going […]
Getting to the Azores, An Azores Getaway v.1
Travel days are typically pretty boring, and getting to the Azores wasn’t much of an exception. My dad flew in from Dallas a couple days earlier and we flew from Baltimore to Boston without much fuss. Time to put another father-daughter adventure on the books! Airport Woes There was the part where we were looking […]
Our Big Asian Adventure v.6: Seoul & Lamma Island
Asian Adventure In Seoul I ’ve gotta say that today was a good day. And I think Seoul just may have overtaken Hong Kong in the Asian Adventure rankings. (Macau can stay in last place. Both Jeff and I agree.) We did a walking tour of Seoul through all kinds of different neighborhoods. NOTE: THIS […]
Our Big Asian Adventure v.5: Visiting The DMZ
Off to South Korea! Who says a travel day has to be boring? I have lots of details to report! Today, we’re flying to South Korea and, later, we’ll be visiting the DMZ. The Taiwan airport is actually really nice (now that I’ve had “the opportunity” to spend a little more time there). Eva Airlines, […]
Our Big Asian Adventure v.4: A Taiwan Day Trip
A Northern Taiwan Day Trip Well, today was certainly an alright day. We had a long Taiwan day trip, but it wasn’t bad at all. We got picked up at our hotel. Small group of us, just six. The guide was supposed to have spoken English, but spoke next to none. He really just drove […]
Big Asian Adventure v.3: A Day in Taipei
Getting From Macau to Taipei Not a whole lot to report today, unfortunately. Mostly a travel day. Which should’ve been a lot shorter than it was. But tomorrow, we have a big day in Taipei. Our flight was scheduled midday. I tend to book flights earlier and then I feel all rushed in the mornings, […]
Big Asian Adventure v.2: Hong Kong And Macau
Visiting Tian Tan Buddha Today and tomorrow, we’ll be touring Hong Kong and Macau. And today is Tian Tan Buddha day! It was indeed a long metro day and we were a little concerned about lines when we learned Easter Monday is a public holiday in Hong Kong, but all went well. NOTE: THIS POST […]
Big Asian Adventure v.1: Sightseeing in Hong Kong
A Multi-Country Asia Tour… The Beginning This will officially be the second time in my life ever that I’ll be taking a two-week vacation, first being Fiji and New Zealand. People have seemed shocked by that, but I think it’s because the #AP4L and I always squeeze so much into a short period of time. […]
Road-Tripping Scotland v.5: The Scottish Highlands
All Around the Isle of Skye Oh, so many ferries this trip. Not so many once we get into the Scottish Highlands, though. First ferry of the day required no booking. We arrived five minutes before the next one was set to take off and they had room for another car, so we made it […]
