Another Great Day in Paradise

The Boonie Stomp yesterday was also a “clean-up” day. There were about 21 hikers and we picked up trash as we walked along the coast from Umatac Bay to Toguan Bay (about 1.5 miles). Sadly, there was a lot of trash along this beautiful hike. It’s so annoying that people think they can dump their trash [...]

Flashback Friday: One Year Ago

This time last year, we were enjoying our last few weeks in Würzburg, Germany. FM’s Uncle Paul and his friend, Barbara came to visit us for a few days. We took the strassenbahn to one of our favorite restaurants in Würzburg ~ Casa del Gusto. It’s more of a wine store with food. The food was especially [...]

Beachtime Needed

I wish I could say my lack of blogging has been because I’ve been at the beach but, it’s been all about the move and finishing up with the end of the year items with the spouses’ club and my religious education class.  I’ve really enjoyed volunteering for both and hate to see the year come [...]

The Palace itself is off-limits but the gardens were large enough to spend an hour or so exploring. The stone walls around the gardens are made up [...]

A Day at Tokyo Disneyland (Day Five)

I think we’ve mastered the Tokyo metro ~ we rode the subway to and from Disneyland with minimal effort. The metro station (Hiro-o) is about a 5-10 minute walk from The New Sanno and is on the Hibiya Line. We had one connection and in total it was about a 30 minute ride. The cost [...]

Mt. Fuji

We got up early, braved the cold and made a trip to Mt. Fuji and the Hakone area. We decided the easiest way to see the countryside would be by tour bus. Not my favorite mode of transportation ~ I prefer to explore on my own but like I said this was “easy”.
There are 10 [...]

Tokyo Day Three (Monday)

We braved the subway system and made our way to the Ginza District which is a very vibrant area of Tokyo. Our first stop was the Sony building to gawk at all the newest tech toys. It didn’t take long to realized we’re woefully behind in the tech world except for my new digital camera [...]
