Today was a perfect day. We had a baptism for kids with the twins who chose to be baptized in South Korea as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and receive the blessing of the Holy Ghost.
As a family we participated in this sacred ordinance and witnessed the transformation of their spiritual rebirth. It...
Shanghai Disneyland is spectacular. Located in the city of the future, the contributions and surroundings play together cohesively, and the modernity of the park is dramatic and alluring. This park comes in at #3 in our family rankings of every Disney park around the world. This truly is a park like no other, for some reasons you’d expect and...
Of course we couldn’t say no to stopping for ice cream. We’d been traversing the island of Vieques all day, ran into the local Latter Day Saint missionaries and chatted for some time and then accompanied them to what they suggested was the best pizzeria on the island, only to find that it was closed! After our absolute disappointment...
Nothing happened according to plan this trip to Norway. And I mean that in the most literal sense. When we arrived at the Scandic Hotel, chosen because of how often we’d seen it pop up in search results in Google and we just wanted a sure thing, it was early in the morning after our Hurtigruten cruise. We couldn’t...
We planned a trip to Hong Kong, specifically, so we could visit Hong Kong Disneyland! How’s that for hard core? On our current ranking of Disney theme parks, Hong Kong comes in at #4 of the six parks. Our family agrees that it was definitely one of our favorite parks, coming in very close to Shanghai Disney. Ultimately, it...
Should You Rent a Car in Mexico?
The answer is unequivocally yes! You will absolutely waste half a day in Mexico, starve your body of the required nutrients to survive in the process, sweat out your life force, and figuratively tear off the head of anyone who comes into your vicinity. But when the car rental process is over...
If you want to throw away $30 we could recommend far better ways to do it. Wolmi Theme Park is like a miniature, run down, vacant Coney Island with no beach access, and then imagine something even worse.
Wolmido Island is highly touted on everyone’s “Top 10 Things you Can’t Miss in Incheon, South Korea” but for our family...

We were fortunate enough to snag a FastPass+ for one of the two new rides in Pandora - Land of Avatar at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom. Nav'i River Journey is a family boat ride that goes through the underground Na’vi passages and highlights a world rarely seen by outsiders. It’s a great ride for the whole family and an...
The JR trains, or Japan Railway East Company, in Japan are incredible. The network of trains that go in every direction, crisscrossing and weaving with the utmost fluidity, are remarkable. Take the opportunity to walk around the city, and take an elevated crosswalk that crosses above them. You’ll see upwards of 10 lines working their magic. (Even if it...
