Day 1 – heading out

By on Sep 3, 2017 in Shanghai, China (2017) | 2 comments

We started the day right on time, leaving the house by 7:30am and getting to the airport at 10:30. We entered the airport and Dad messed up the check in by misreading the scanner. It locked us and had to wait in line with 50 people checking bags. We were very nervous as we had to be checked in by 12 and boarding started at 12:10. At 11:45 luggage was in, time to get...

Having been to Niagara numerous times, and having lived here for years, we decided to leave this trip planning up to the girls. On the first day, we asked them what they wanted to do, and we were pleasantly surprised when they unanimously all shouted “tire swing” By tire swing, they really mean steep dangerous hike down the gorge to super secret swimming...

Today we had a real treat.  Our AirBnB host took us to experience her favourite restaurants and parts of Singapore.  We had a sampling of Turkish food on Arab Street and explored some markets. Then we headed to Chinatown for a Chinese Delicacy- pork necks.  Then we ended the tour in Little India.   It was amazing to see these places we never would have found on our...

Not much to report these days.  We had a full week last week which meant not many castings…so this week is casting week.  It also marks the half way point so we need to leave the country on Friday.  We are heading to a resort in Indonesia for 1 day and then heading straight back.  Turns out we are actually heading to our maid Umi’s home town.  Wish we...

We left Banff around 11am and speed for groceries in Calgary for the drive home. 5 days vs 4 as we did here. We opted to head back early and cut Jasper out of the visit. I think we exhausted hiking this trip. When we arrived around 5 and opened the windows or read SO your. It felt like the sun. You can see why they call it the badlands. But it is full of life you...

First let me start by saying I am sorry.  I know we have been lacking in the blog posts.  However, in our defense, unless you want to see photo after photo of the mass transit system here in Singapore, there really isn’t much to report. Kaatje is staying very busy.  This week she has two photoshoots for magazines and two fashion shows and some additional...
