So here’s our guide to Christmas in Universal Studios Japan: winter version. We visited it on a Wednesday in December, just before Christmas. * We have a post for USJ […]
When I saw a photo of Lake Tekapo, the Good Shepard church, with all the colorful lupins, and Mount Cook, I fell in love and I knew I had to visit it. So we did. We drove over 2 hours from Wanaka just to see it, and oh, was it worth it! Today I’ll tell […]
