Domo Arigato, Mr.Roboto, we are back in Japan, also known as the Land of the Rising Sun, or the sun-origin country in Japanese characters. We could not get enough the first time around! Gillian was right on. We will be here to ring in the New Year! WS is back to eating mass quantities of [...]
As we are preparing to leave Bali, we wonder if you have a guess as to where we are going next? Next up, the “sun-origin country”. Where???? Bookmark To:
Bali may have the nicest people we have met on our trip. They are polite, friendly and easy going. Even haggling in the market can be a pleasant experience with the Balinese. In Bali there are touts. I expected this. Most countries we have visited thus far in Central, South America and Asia have touts. [...]
Nearly 425 days on the road. We do wish we were home for Christmas this year. Christmas is probably our favorite holiday although we do not consider ourselves “religious” types. The one time of year when we are guaranteed time with friends and family. Of course eating, drinking, and presents for me are also a [...]

We will be spending Christmas here on this beautiful island. You will hear no complaints from me. I am [...]
As we get ready to leave Hong Kong, I thought I would give you a pretty easy clue. But…I am looking for a specific place from the book. Post your guesses under the “comments” section, and we will check out your guesses when we get to…??? Oh and as predicted, I am kicking and screaming [...]
In the back of my little travel mind, I am keeping a list of places that I love. Okay, so maybe I am a little overt with my love of certain places, like Buenos Aires. I loved BA. See? I even abbreviate it like a nickname, I loved it that much. I loved Bangkok, too [...]
