Way back in 2015, I wrote about this world-traveling family’s 20 Most Memorable Moments of 2014. But our journey had only just started — we continued hopping across the globe for a good portion of 2015. Here are the 35 things we experienced in 2015 that we regularly talk about.
› This summer we're packing up and hitting the road to experience that great tradition—the Epic American Road Trip. We'll be traveling the highways and byways of the United States, journeying through 17 states in three weeks. Join us, won't you?
After leaving England, we had a three-day layover in Iceland, a small island country the locals call a land of ice and fire. On our first day, we got the lay of the land in Reykjavik, along with a history lesson or two, and some delicious hot dogs.
Way back around the year 120, Roman Emperor Hadrian built a giant wall too keep the wildmen out of the northern border of the Roman Empire. Parts of that wall still stand today.
During our 333-day trip around the world, I filmed one second of video for each day we were traveling. Well, kind of. When it was all over, all that footage was turned into a six-minute video that nicely chronicles our journey. And you can see that video right here.
It's fair to say that our visit to Hong Kong wasn't quite the visit we wanted to have. We really liked what we saw of the city (but it wasn't all that much), and we weren't ready to leave. But we were world travelers, and it was time to travel.
Another visit to Tsim Sha Tsui (in search of Ghibli Museum tickets), another visit to the hospital, and a trip to The Peak, all crammed into our last two days in Hong Kong.
We have business to attend to at the U.S. Consulate, then we explore Hong Kong, ending up in Tsim Sha Tsui for dinner.
After a day knocking around Hong Kong, we travel to the faraway land of Sai Kung to play soccer,
Our first full day in Hong Kong was a little on the slow side, and that was just fine.
While we fully acknowledge that we have not (yet) been to all the airports in the world, we're pretty certain that none of them will be better than Singapore's Changi Airport.
It's down to our last three days in Bali, and, as much as we enjoyed relaxing here, we were ready to move on.
After three days of leisure, we decided it was time to venture out and see some more Bali sights like the Elephant Cave and the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces.
The big plan for Friday night was to go to Paradiso, the self-proclaimed world's first organic vegetarian movie theater and see The Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
