Or: “How Air New Zealand beats Air Canada hands down”
Those of you that follow me on twitter will know that while I have been excitedly looking forward to my North American Adventure (yes, Adventure, with a capital A) for a while, I have also been dreading the travelling part of the Adventure. Specifically a 14+ hour flight with Mr4.5 and Mr1.5.
So, have had some highs and lows in the next few days… We made it to Portland and to the Microsoft Store there, and I was the proud owner of a shiny new Surface 😀
Then there was an awesome day of shopping at the biggest outlet mall I’ve ever been to! The Disney store was definitely a winner with the kids!
Landed in Vancouver crazy early on Friday morning. Which is kinda awesome cos we left on Friday morning! It’s like it took us an hour to fly half way across the world!
Thought I’d change gears a bit for the next month or so… and also thought I’d let you guys know just in case that wasn’t what you signed up for 🙂 I’m about to go on an epic whirlwind trip to Canada and the US on a family holiday, so will post a few blogs here and there as a bit of a travel log!Â
Hakamada Iwao is on death row in Japan. Japan’s policy is to execute by hanging in secret. Prisoners are typically given a few hours notice, or none at all. Families are only notified after the execution has happened.
This means Hakamada has spent 43 years not knowing if today would be his last.
