We had an early start for our last morning in Brisbane, and a 3.5 hour drive north to the village of River Heads, where we’ll leave the car. You see, we’re taking this ferry over to Fraser Island / K’Gari where we’ll stay for the next two nights. Today started out overcast as yesterday’s system … Continue reading K’gari – Paradise
Another year with the short November break from school, so again this year we’re headed somewhere very interesting (2023 - Brazil; 2024 - Japan). It’s an evening flight for us so no need to rush out from school and work. We had a little bite to eat at the Maple Leaf Lounge in the Calgary … Continue reading The Other Sunshine State
Unfortunately, before booking our trip to Korea, I didn't realize that this was the busiest holiday week of the year for Koreans - coinciding with the Chuseok holiday. This means that it's generally quite difficult to move around the country as most of the trains and flights are booked up in advance by Koreans. I'd … Continue reading The Spirit of Silla
Thanks to a 4 hour delay by WestJet, we were lucky enough to get another executive luxury car transfer to the airport for our next trip. We arrived early to have a bite at the WestJet Elevation Lounge - which was totally packed, a bigger line than I'd ever seen before. Thankfully we got to … Continue reading The Seoul of Asia
Sad to leave Naxos behind but time to move on to our next destination: Athens. As noted in the arrival post, the Naxos airport is one of the smallest commercial airports I've ever seen. This room is about half of the interior waiting area, taken from the front door, with the check in counter to … Continue reading The Eye of Greece
After our final enjoyable week with our family in Czechia, Ellie and I moved on to a new country for both of us - Greece. Our first days were spent on the gorgeous island of Naxos, part of the Cyclades group of islands in the Aegean Sea. We had a 2.5 hour flight from Prague … Continue reading On Island Time
I took a little break from visiting our family in Czechia to visit Mallorca for a few days recently. I'd never been to Mallorca, and the main reason I selected that destination - I could fly there directly from the small local airport in Pardubice! There was another charter flight leaving for the Bulgarian seaside … Continue reading A Few Days in Mallorca
My second time here today. Sad to be leaving Ilulissat but I couldn't have had better luck with the weather, making for a fantastic stay. Here's the Air Greenland check in counter, which has two desks. Just off to the left behind the person working is the Icelandair check in counter (beside Gate 1) - … Continue reading Nuuk – The Capital
The 24 hour daylight definitely threw me off, but after that late evening I got to sleep pretty quickly, with the help of (almost) blackout blinds and an eye mask. The morning was gorgeous. It was only 8 degrees C but the brilliant sunshine and lack of wind made it feel warmer, as I walked … Continue reading Ilulissat Means Icebergs
Ok, now for the most exciting part of my trip. I've been looking forward to this one for a very long time. Late last night I flew up from Zurich to Copenhagen and spent the night at an airport hotel. This morning, I'm flying Air Greenland to Nuuk! I had enjoyed a decent breakfast at … Continue reading Kalaallit Nunaat
