I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
It was our last day of our trip. Again, it is always sad to leave. Our flight was at 1pm today and we did not want to stress out rushing to the airport last minute again so we decided to just head over to the airport and eat and do some shopping there instead of… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 8 (Fukuoka)
It was our last day in our villa and we really made the most out of our time here by staying till the last minute. We took time to really soak in the beautiful scenery and serene atmosphere on our patio. The breakfast was once again lovely. On this day, there were a few more… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 7 (Oguni – Mount Aso – Fukuoka)
It was day 2 of our road trip and it was raining miserably. Luckily, we don’t have to go very far for breakfast. It was a very nice traditional Japanese breakfast served in the dining room in the lobby of our resort. We appeared to be the only guests at the 9am seating that morning… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 6 (Kurokawa Onsen – Oguni)
We started off the day late after having a late night last night, which was fine because the pancake place we wanted to go to was not open until 10am. We slowly made our way over to Happy Pancake, where they serve big fluffy pancakes. When we arrived, we were seated right away but by… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 4 (Fukuoka)
Jet lag has been getting the best of me and I’ve been waking up at 4-5am every day. Given the limited size of our room, I wait in bed till Aaron awakes from his slumber and we were off from some breakfast in preparation for an eventful day. Onigiri Feast We had noticed a onigiri… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 3 (Fukuoka)
First full day in Fukuoka and we’re off on an adventure to the nearby Nokonoshima Island! But first, we must grab some quick bites at a nearby 7-Eleven. I’ve been hearing all about the Japanese egg sandwiches, so I needed to get that. Aaron went with the more traditional, onigiri. Eating the sandwich made me… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 2 (Fukuoka)
After many hours on the plane and in various airports, we finally made it to Fukuoka, Japan. It was late in the evening when we arrived. Luckily, the airport is pretty much in the city so it only took us around 15 minutes to get to the hotel by Tenjin station. Valie Hotel Tenjin, is… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 1 (Fukuoka)
I was in Kingston for work recently and Aaron came with me, so we had the chance to try a few of the nice restaurants in town while we were there. For my journey down to Kingston on Via Rail Business Class, check out my last blog post. CRAVE Coffee House & Bakery: But First,… Continue reading Dining in Kingston: A 3-Day Adventure
Sometimes it’s not possible to take weeks off at a time to travel. Luckily, there are many destinations that we can visit which are only within a few hours drive away from Ottawa. Recently, we decided to go to the near by Montebello for a weekend getaway. It was a pleasant 1-hour drive away, so… Continue reading Fairmont Chateau Montebello: A Luxurious Weekend Retreat – Day 1
Last day in Taipei and also the last day of our trip. It’s hard to believe. I did not have a good night’s sleep at all, as I was up all night coughing and blowing my nose. Aaron wasn’t feeling the best either, so we ended up starting our day late at 10am. Soy Milk… Continue reading Taipei Day 3
