3 kids, 3 countries, 10 hours. Mission Success

The title says it all. Our joyous family of 5 left our home in Japan in the wee hours of Tuesday morning and by bedtime, we were speeding along the highway between Bangkok and [[Myanmar-(Burma)/Pattaya]]. A 4 hour flight to Tai Pei, Taiwan, a lightning quick layover, and another 3 hours in the...

Tokyo Adventure

Tokyo- WOW! Well the sights and sounds of Tokyo are a plenty, and I did well as much as we could in the wild weekend. Saturday saw us heading to browse through the four story outdoor store- minimising my purchases to essentials! I showed some restraint! Mandy then introduced me to the 100 Yen...
