Back on the Blog

It’s been a busy year since our holidays in Japan.
I lost my dear dear Mum to Cancer in February, after a relatively short period in hospital.
My Brother and Sister came over from England, but were too late to see her alive.
It has been the saddest time of my life since she left us.
I think of her everyday…….
I [...]

Our last night in Paradise

It’s our last day here in Japan, we have so many more adventures and sights seen since day 7, I will have to update this blog and photo gallery once I get home later this week.
Our stay in Kyoto and Tenri City have been huge, and the 4+ hour return from Tenri to Tokyo has [...]

Day 6 & 7 in Japan

Well we had Day 6 all planned to go to Mt Fuji, what an adventure!
We ended up taking 7 trains to get there, as the trains we got on anly went part of the way to the final stop before shooting off nowhere near where we wanted, it only took 3 hours on local and [...]

Day 6 & 7 photos posted to Gallery

I have posted photos from Day 6 and 7 to the Gallery.

Day 3, 4 & 5 in Japan (oooh our feet hurt!)

Day 3 and 4 were big days for us, we attacked DisneyLand on Thursday and DisneySea on Friday, and overall we all agreed DisneySea was the pick for enjoyment, but DisneyLand was uniquely Disney and hence it was good on it’s own.
Let’s face it, if as a kid you said “I went to DisneyLand in [...]

Day 2,3 & 4 photos posted to Gallery

I have posted photos from the last few days, in a new album in the gallery at http://www.mvbmb.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=88

Day 1 and 2 of the family adventure

Well we made it to Japan, albeit adventure packed.
The flight to Hong Kong went well at first but then the pilot made an announcement that we would be landing in Cairns due to a “technical error”.
I could tell they thought it was serious, as you could here the pilot breathing in air via a mask [...]

We are off to Japan

I have done a lot of travelling in 2007, relatively speaking, and with the kids all going to be in high school in 2008 I thought it would be a good time to go on a BIG holiday.
So we are off to Japan for 15 days with travel via Hong Kong on the way there and [...]

Updates to Site, and where I’m at

Well, it’s been over a year, and I’m back.
I have turned off comments for unregistered users and changed the theme.
I start updates shortly, as I will have some head-space free next week.
I am currently in Chile; Antofagasta in Northern Chile to be exact.
This is the third and last trip for this project, it’s been hard [...]

Hopefully the last move

This should be where I stay, now that I have somewhere stable I’ll be ble to dedicate to writing entries more often.
The current theme isn’t as good as what I was using at http://intarsia.wordpress.com

I’ll be updating it soon with one that uses widgets.
Cheers, Mark
