One of my favorite things to do with my kids has always been to just take a walk and see what we can see. I’ve never been the type to worry about a list or a plan.
Whether you’re working from home, sheltering in place or just staying home, if you’re like us, you’re probably dreaming of open skies, sandy beaches, tall mountains, or perfect powdery slopes.
Welcome to virtual vacation video series where we can explore destinations from the comfort of our homes. Join us as we take a short virtual journey to Busan.
Kakazu Ridge played a pivotal role in the Battle of Okinawa in 1945. Only a short 15-minute drive from MCAS Futenma and you can immerse yourself in a piece of island and world history.
Although Kakazu Ridge is a quiet area where locals go to play mini-golf or let their children loose for playground time, this place was the site of deadly combat during the Battle of Okinawa.
With the 2016 release of Mel Gibson’s Academy Award nominated “Hacksaw Ridge,” there has been increased interest in the Okinawa site where the movie takes place.
It was the peak of summer 2015 and I could barely wait until Friday so I could spend my time off snorkeling and stuffing my face with local Okinawan cuisine.
My ideal weekend was approaching slowly but surely, but so was a large-scale typhoon – an immediate threat to my ambitions.
Summer can be a hellish time to travel around Japan. You can duck into every air-conditioned establishment you approach, blow your paycheck on a new Cool Biz wardrobe, or even brave the crowds at hormone-driven beaches like Zushi. But there’s a much classier way to bear the heat, and sunscreen is not required.
This Christmas we spent an action packed 20 days exploring the Middle East. It was my first time to this region of the world and I was extremely impressed by the amazing sites and wonderful adventures that awaited us throughout the four countries we visited.
Most people in Naha City spend their time in the busy Kokusai street area, but venture to the far end of Heiwadori shopping arcade and you will find yourself at the entrance to Okinawa's pottery district.
It is true that there is nothing like nightlife in Tokyo. But party people should not be too quick to conclude that the metro area is the only place that can provide what they are looking for.
You can’t go wrong in a national park.
I mean, yeah, you can take a wrong turn. Well, I can, for sure. (If not for my husband’s input, the rangers might still be looking for me somewhere in the national park wilderness.)
