We had a few minutes short walk in the rain from the ferry terminal in Miyajimaguchi to the railway station. We caught a local train that would bring us to Hiroshima Station. Hiroshima Station was beneath a large shopping centre, just like the bus terminal. On one of the upper floors (maybe it was the … Continue reading Welcome to Kansai
After our quick stay in Hiroshima we're on the move again. Today we are going to Miyajima island, which is about an hour away. One thing that I forgot to mention in the previous post is that the morning we left Tokyo, I brought one of our two big luggages to the hotel we were … Continue reading Shrine Island
Another gorgeous morning from up above Shinjuku…the weather is really cooperating for us! We had a quick peek at the food hall that was in the mezzanine level of the building that housed or hotel. Looked like some interesting options. A look at our Kabukicho Tower from the plaza below. These sort of establishments were … Continue reading Last Day in Tokyo…and Onwards
After a solid sleep but another early morning - we headed out on the streets of Kabukicho which were much quieter on this Sunday morning before 7. It was such a contrast from the rest of the day and night. And went into Don Quijote for Ellie to do some shopping while it was still … Continue reading We Found Our Way To Tokyo !
Wow, only a few weeks have gone by since our last trip. We were so busy that it barely felt like we’d unpacked when we were packing again and getting picked up by an Uber on a beautiful morning to head to the airport. After a quick and painless check in and security (we were … Continue reading Welcome To Shinjuku
Today we're off to the Big Apple. I'm super excited about this trip. NYC has been my favorite city since I was Ellie's age. And it's her first trip there! She's excited about it too! An early start... and a gourmet early lunch from Air Canada Bistro. To keep up with Porter Airlines, Air Canada … Continue reading Concrete Jungle, Wet Dream Tomato
As it turns out, we're travelling on 4 long weekends in a row this year. For the Labour Day holiday weekend, we are heading to Montreal. I haven't been there other than overnight stays close to the airport for... 20 years? It's going to be fun! The trip started out well in 2 ways. One … Continue reading Nous sommes tous Montréalais
After a too short stay with our Czech family, it was time to move on again. We had a beautiful morning for our journey. Before we knew it, we were on approach to Heathrow Airport over London. Always love this view from the right side. It's really nice not to have to take the Piccadilly … Continue reading London Calling
In early August we made a relatively short trip to Europe. Our first stop was Barcelona, which was the return leg of our round trip booking home to Calgary that started in Barcelona last August. Sometimes it's much cheaper to do it this way.... We stayed in a lovely small hotel very close to the … Continue reading A Little Slice of Europe
In late March, we took a more traditional late winter trip - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for a week. We had an early start that morning - alarms going off at 4:20 for our 7:00 flight. We made it onboard with plenty of time for breakfast after dropping our bags. And this time, we had Granny … Continue reading Here Comes The Sun
