Our second port day and we arrived in Juneau. We had a good breakfast in the restaurant and then got geared up for going outside. Xtra Tuffs and raincoats marked us as locals according to the tour guides. Our plan was to ride the city bus out to Mendenhall Glacier. This was to save ourselves… Continue reading Travel & Adventure Day: Alaskan Cruise

Travel & Adventure Days: Alaskan Cruise
Our third day we arrived in Skagway. I haven't been here since I was a little kid. Ty and the kids have never been here. So this was a fun new location and it was good to get off the boat. We got R up early enough so we could have breakfast in the restaurant.… Continue reading Travel & Adventure Days: Alaskan Cruise
Travel & Adventure Days: Alaskan Cruise
We decided to try something new, we're cruising SE Alaska! We left out of Whittier (thanks Mom!) The first two days are just ship days. So we enjoy the endless food, the kids are pigging out on the ice cream, Lincoln has swam outside 2x and shocked half the boat, and we learned that walkie… Continue reading Travel & Adventure Days: Alaskan Cruise
Travel Day: Tokyo, Japan to Anchorage, AK USA
We had a nice lazy morning. Our flight doesn’t leave till 6pm so we don’t have to rush, which is such a luxury. Breakfast at the hotel included the ice cream bar again. That’s just so crazy to me! Weirder than the station where you could grill your own fish over charcoal. We went back… Continue reading Travel Day: Tokyo, Japan to Anchorage, AK USA
Travel Day: Hakuba to Tokyo, Japan
Sleep was a bit up and down. Lincoln and I were up about 5:30, tried to get him back to sleep and didn’t get back to sleep myself till 7 and slept till 8:30. Thank goodness for that extra time. Today’s the day, we’re driving to Tokyo! We paid the expense and just went on… Continue reading Travel Day: Hakuba to Tokyo, Japan
Travel Day: Tokyo to Hakuba, Japan
We all slept pretty great on our ‘futon’ beds. Ryder even ended up halfway into the closet. Breakfast at the hotel was good. There were dividers between every seat and you were provided with gloves before you served yourself. Makes sense with the outbreaks they’ve been having. Not exactly one size fits all on the… Continue reading Travel Day: Tokyo to Hakuba, Japan
Travel Day: El Nido, Philippines to Tokyo, Japan
Because why not have a beach vacation and a skiing vacation in two completely different foreign countries in one vacation?! Who but my husband would come up with such a crazy idea. Also I’m foolish enough to say sure, let’s go for it. We had an early morning in El Nido, but never fear it… Continue reading Travel Day: El Nido, Philippines to Tokyo, Japan
Travel Day: Coron to El Nido, Philippines
Lincoln and I slept for 10 hours last night! It felt so good. I’m on the mend but unfortunately the first thing he did upon waking up was go throw up. Womp womp! So back to bed he went while Ty, Ryder, and I got breakfast. No way I ate even half of this. Then… Continue reading Travel Day: Coron to El Nido, Philippines
Travel Day turned into Adventure Day: Cebu, Philippines
We finally got a good nights sleep! Probably the second one of this whole trip. It felt so good. The plan was to have a relaxing morning and our flight to Coron was at 12:30. We finally woke Ryder up at 9 when the rest of us were getting hungry. Before breakfast Ty called down… Continue reading Travel Day turned into Adventure Day: Cebu, Philippines
Travel Day: Manila to Cebu, Philippines
We started the day out early, I think Ty, and I were up at 4:30am. Ugh jet lag. Ryder was around 5ish and Linc a bit after her. We relaxed in the room for a bit. Ty went for a crazy early run through town. Afterwards we enjoyed another wonderful hotel breakfast. Our plan for… Continue reading Travel Day: Manila to Cebu, Philippines
