Based in Stevenage, which is about an hour drive North of London, we took a day trip out to Cambridge, UK. Cambridge is named after a bridge by the River Cam, hence ‘Cam-bridge’.

London, England
Having rested for 2 days, we are ready to venture into Central London! Our cousin lives in Taddington, which is in the western side of London. It takes about an hour to ride public transit out into the City.
Kingston Upon Thames, England
We slept for 12 hours and feel well rested from the jet lag in our Day 2 in London. Tiffany’s cousin lives in Taddington and her home is on the bank of the River Thames. We visited the Bushy Park, which is one of the Royal Parks in the UK. I enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere […]
Oxford, England
We picked up our rental car at 8:30am in the morning. It takes only an hour to drive from Heathrow to Oxford. There are a few drops of rain but thankfully we have our rain jackets and umbrellas.
Taiwan
After our time in Hong Kong, on our way back to the US, we stopped by Taiwan and took the opportunity to tour the Island for a week.
Hong Kong
Upon getting confirmation of my father’s lung cancer diagnosis, we immediately made plans to travel to Hong Kong and aimed to arrive before his surgery. We stopped by Maui to see my 99-year-old grandmother on Dec 11, 2022, and by Dec 14 we have already arrived in Hong Kong.
Rome
Our family passed by the outskirts of Rome in 2018 but didn’t really get to see the city. This time, we are using Rome as a hub to fly back to the US, so we decided to take advantage of it and stayed in Rome for two nights. We spent the first day walking in […]
Naples, Pompei
We took a really early flights from Athens, and arrived in Naples at 9:30am. It gave us enough time to drive around Naples to get a feel of the city and to eat the must-try Neapolitan pizzas. Our real destination was Pompei, which is only half an hour south of Naples. It was an ancient […]
Athens
We have arrived safely in Athens! My first visit of the city in 2020 was filled with fond memories. This time it is really fun to take my family around, visit my FB friend George who cut my hair back in 2020, and see things with a new perspective. I still love the relaxing vibe […]
Polis, the Blue Lagoon
We stayed in the town of Polis for two days. Polis is located on the Northwestern tip of the island. We enjoyed the relaxing vibe of the “city” center, dinning, and swimming at the nearby beach.
