Walking around Cappadocia

ByTravelling Minion October 15, 2018 0 Comments
Sunrise As a consolation for not having a hot air balloon ride, a few of us decided to wake up for sunset and take some photos of the sunrise in Cappadocia. We got up early and hung out at the top of our hotel terrace to wait for the sun to come up. The light started to appear and we started taking photos. It got a bit chilly and some of us retreated back to our rooms to catch a few more hours of...

Quick throwback to a family trip to Whistler last year! 2017 Family Whistler Trip In the summer of 2017, our family took a short trip to Whistler, BC for the Canada Day weekend. My parents have a timeshare there and so our accommodations were already taken care of.  After work and dinner, we all hopped in my car and made the scenic drive up the Sea to Sky highway towards Whistler. We arrived,...

Though at the top of the shopping center, we did score a pretty...

Originally we had planned on visiting a few beaches today. However our AirBNB host had given some suggestions in the guidebook and one was jumping out at us. There was a recommendation for us to visit the Kerama Islands. These were a small set of Islands west of Okinawa and the prospect of snorkeling, diving and possibly visiting a "uninhabited" island was appealing to us. So after a bit of...

Visiting Churaumi Aquarium and Ocean Expo Park

Churaumi Aquarium We wanted to get to the Churaumi Aquarium early which meant we had an early start. We mapped out a route which would have taken about 2 hours to get there. However, due to some navigation challenges again, we found ourselves on the toll expressway which shaved a half hour off our trip. In the end it got us there faster and was worth the toll. Charumi Aquarium is a place that...
