Our hotel also had free breakfast, so we took advantage of some really delicious pineapple pancakes, mini egg roll, honey/coconut milk roll, mie goreng, watermelon juice, and fruit when we came back since it felt like lunchtime for us (even though it was only 9). Since many of the sites closed by 1, we opted…

Sports fan with a travel bug, so here I am, combining the two loves into my blog.
Borobudur
During my travels with Doug, we always seem to have a theme. In Argentina, it was the animals, Croatia was full of sunsets, and I think for Indonesia it will be about the sunrises. We woke up at 3am for our trip to Borobudur, one of the largest Buddhist temples in the world. We took…
Yogyakarta, day 1
At long last, after 8 hours flying to Frankfurt, 12 hours to Singapore, 5 hours at Singapore airport, and 2 hours on Air Asia, we have finally arrived at our destination! Yogyakarta was very much a tiny airport, with maybe 5 gates…it was an absolute nightmare trying to get through customs as we first had…
Singapore Airport
We landed at Singapore airport at 6:15am, rarely do I ever want a flight to be delayed but with 5 hours of down time before our next flight, it would’ve been nice to get another oh, hour or so of sleep before landing. But what better place to kill time than in Changi airport, home…
Singapore Airlines: the longest flight in the world on the largest plane in the world
For those of you that have heard me speak of this trip, you know the Singapore Airlines experience is one I’m particularly looking forward to. For all it’s worth, it was all that and then some. We boarded our 8:35pm flight out of JFK on time and were greeted by the Singapore girls, complete in…
Above and Outside Dubrovnik
On our last day in Dubrovnik, we decided to do a bit of exploration above the city, as well as across the city on the island of Lokrum. But first, we passed by the main square, where a modest Sunday market was underway, with jams, marmalades, honey, brandies, and olive oil as the most popular…
Cruising Around the Elafiti Islands
Since we had seen most of Old Town Dubrovnik yesterday, we opted to explore the islands around Dubrovnik with a tour of the Elafiti islands. These were a series of small islands, some inhabited and some not, that were scattered off the coast of Dubrovnik. It was fairly easy selecting and booking a tour from…
A Walk Back in Time, Dubrovnik
After a 7 hour flight to Dublin and rushing through the airport to make our 3.5 hour connection to Dubrovnik, we arrived at Dubrovnik at 11:30am. Naturally, most of the flight aboard Aer Lingus was spent sleeping, but I did wake up just in the nick of time to see the hundreds of islands of…
Breaking into Busch: The Story Behind the Name
Going to Fenway was a nice convenient side trip; however, Doug and I knew that in order to get the other 29 mini helmets, some level of effort had to be made to go out of our way to say, Missouri. Thankfully, Doug is a huge Cards fan so we were able to rationalize a trip…
Fenway Park: Where it all Started…
We were in New Hampshire for a wedding when we decided, why not head into Boston and check out a Red Sox game. Neither Doug nor I had ever been to Fenway, and being the sports aficionados we considered ourselves, it would’ve been unfit to be that close to Boston without a visit to the…
