Will Justin Bieber Please Report To the Podium?

The flight to Ontario, CA at the gate next to ours announced that Justin Bieber needed to come to the podium to speak with the gate agents. We were intensely excited!  




Carmen studied his photos to make sure we would spot him.  She asked the important but unanswerable question that we should all ask ourselves: Why are there so many pictures of Justin Bieber without a shirt on?

Unfortunately, we had to board our flight before they called first class to Ontario. But I’m a Belieber that he was going to get on that plane. Others were skeptical. 

We are off to Flagstaff!

Smile, Laugh, Travel

We had a booked walking tour of Naples at 1000.  However, and I’d really like to stress how dark our rooms were, we slept until 10am.  Drat.  Nevermind, we decided to freestyle our own walking tour. Though you can’t tell from the face she’s making, Jane still loves a hotel breakfast. We all laughed about the slogan for our hotel, “Smile, Laugh, Travel” so Joel and Jane acted it out for you here: Our hotel gave us a free ornament of some type.  The explanation only said it was a symbolic of Naples, but didn’t clarify what it represented.  We guessed a horn.  The same symbol is on our furniture too.  As we started our walking tour, we discovered it was a pepper and they were everywhere.  Considered a good luck symbol on jewelry, we saw peppers all over, from street vendors to shops. We stopped in the Duomo cathedral. Saint Gennaro’s blood is apparently an ancient relic in this church.  The sign says it turns from viscous to liquid, a scientific...

Sorry for the skipped post.  Yesterday turned out to be a busy and exhausting one.  Jane and I treated ourselves to sleeping in and going to bed early with no blogging. The Kuala Lumpur airport was like every other, but also fairly easy to navigate.  Large and modern, there were many choices for eating and shopping.  Again we failed to find breakfast we could stomach so we stopped in an airline lounge instead.  I have never been more relieved for a club soda with lime and a veggie omelette. This dim sum restaurant was doing a massive breakfast business.  We just stared and repeated the word “nope” to each other. Nothing here looked appealing.  The quick grab options all had turnoffs.  Room temperature lunch meat was a no.  Yowza, at any time of day.  Our credit card allowed us entry into our pick of 5 lounges. We picked this swanky joint.  We were pretty dang hungry at this point.  While the airport functioned like all other ai...

Welcome to Part 2 of our Singapore story! I’ll be writing this portion as I meet up with Jane for the end of her program. We then head to Osaka to visit Mio, our exchange student from last summer. For me, the first step was from our new home in Traverse City, MI. Beth and I are thrilled with our new digs, and have greatly enjoyed watching it take shape as we unpack and arrange everything. I can’t wait to return in a few weeks to see how much it will have shaped up under Beth’s direction. The Traverse City airport (Cherry Capital Airport) is tiny. For example, the United counter had three automated check-in kiosks, and two were out of service. But there were still only three people in front of me checking in, so the wait was negligible. Similarly, at Security, the longest part of the process was waiting for the conveyor belt to carry my bag from the bag scanner to the place where I could pick it up. And with the National Cherry Festival wrapping up the weekend prior, this is a busy ...
