Arriving in Louisiana from our whirlwind trip to the awesome Northeast was rather exhausting but I was still pretty amp'd up from all of the fun we had. We would spend several days in the husband's home town which would include visiting family and friends and a fantastic small town Étouffée festival. The festival was … Continue reading Overseas to Overseas Part 3 -Southern Hospitality
Aquarium EntranceIt was a rainy day today, so I took Estelle to the Birch Aquarium at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla. We’ve been meaning to go there for awhile, as I have always had a fascination with the ocean, and Estelle is too young to care. So, off we went.

Finally arriving in Tucson, Arizona on the 5th of March! We were picked up at the airport by my parents and went to their home to visit and pick up our well missed Mustang to use while in town.

The decor is cute, … Continue reading Turn Of The Year Mayhem
Our final big, outside Japan trip for the time we have left in this beautiful country we decided on Hong Kong for Christmas week. The husband had spent a short time there while deployed many years ago and wanted to go back for a longer stay to explore more and lets be honest - he … Continue reading Hong Kong Holiday
Noise...I've experienced different kinds of noise to wrap up my 2015. From OzzFest (Head-banging, thrash metal concert festival) to Hong Kong at Christmas, and Tokyo for New Years Eve - the noise was real. One was literally a lot of sound and cranked up high and the other was more pushy salesmen and noisy touristy … Continue reading Awesome Noise
Our latest adventures took us to Iwakuni, Miyajima Island and Hiroshima. This was a scheduled tour through the base and included a very long bus ride there and back. We left around 10:00 pm and arrived around 8:00 am, yep all night drive. No, we didn't get much sleep but we pushed through and really enjoyed … Continue reading Iwakuni, Miyajima Island and Hiroshima
The last few weeks haven't given me much to blog about with regards to what my blog really centers around - travel, food, etc. So, I thought I'd just put my internal conversations down and my thoughts often come off a bit bullet point-ish.
