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
Well, here we are at our final Shinkansen journey of this trip, in Kyoto Station. Now that we had one of our big luggages with us, the Green Car was indispensable as there is a ton of overhead space for luggage and no need to worry about reserving seats that have access to a luggage … Continue reading The End of Our Awesome Trip
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
I barely got to spend any time at all in that gorgeous room. Not only that, no time for what I'm sure was an amazing breakfast, too! Today I'm flying with Emirates to Dubai. Emirates is unique amongst airlines in that if you're travelling in a premium cabin on a cash ticket, you can get … Continue reading Back Into the Heat
After a quick ride down one of Singapore's gorgeous expressways - it really is a city in garden - I'm back at Changi Airport. In the background of the drop off area for Terminal 3 is Jewel, which I visited in 2019. It is really an incredible space ! Here's a photo of the interior … Continue reading I’m Going For The Food
