Thanks so much for your kind words. And although we miss our family, we will be sad when this is over as well.

Hi Nancy & Mike. My husband and I have just returned from a 2 week Mediterranean cruise. I’m not sure if you are visiting Gibraltar at any point but I immediately thought of you Nancy as there is a small stand of Christmas decorations in the terminal building. Also, we visited Rome but sadly we became the victims of pick pockets on the metro. We had been so vigilant all day, 2 jostled my disabled husband and 2 cornered me, I tried my best to get to him and any thoughts of protecting my bad were gone. We lost money and our cruise cards so getting back on ship was an education. Fortunately we weren’t hurt just very shaken and angry. I know this can happen anywhere and I’m sure you are vigilant wherever you go. I’m so enjoying your videos, they are so informative and honest. Looking forward to the rest of your journey. Love to you both. 🇬🇧

I am so sorry to hear that. Happened to you. That’s horrible. Mike and I tried to be very diligent and aware of our surroundings when we’re out and about. Also, we were at Gibraltar a couple of weeks ago.

Great views of Japan. Loving all your blogs Nancy and Mike!

It was a very beautiful place, and yes, we do pray for world peace.

Something about the beauty and peace of making an ice cream rose juxtaposed with the horrors of what happened there got me 😭. I could almost feel the peace emanating. The Japanese culture is just so beautiful. Also, hi from New Mexico!!! Didn’t know you once lived here too!!

I am glad to see you do what we do on cruises which is to combine excursions that are better done through the cruise line or another operator with exploring on your own in places where that is easy to do with some research on your part.

@livingphase2

9 күн бұрын

We usually do quite a bit of research on every port we stop at and choose the excursion that best fits our interests.😀

We have Daiso in the States! Most of them are in the western states but there are a few in Texas and New York. Also, as soon as you walked into the "charming, happy" shop in Chinatown I knew it had to be a Studio Ghibli store. That's a Japanese animation studio known for lovely, often fantastical, family-friendly movies like Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle. If and when I make a trip to Japan I will have to have a special "Ghibli merch" budget set aside for just such an occasion!

That was such a sweet store to enter and poke around in. And we’re so excited to have Daiso in the states. That’s a fun shop as well.

Castella is one of my favorites. They have Daisos in Southern California.

Always interesting. Just wondering what camera, you are using for videos.

@livingphase2

In some videos were using a DJI camera and in others, we are using our smart phones.

We just had that “dollar store” open here in San Antonio. I tried to go the other day, but there is still a line to get in. At 100 degrees it is too hot to stand outside to get in.

Some of our good friends, who have family that used to live in japan, live in San Antonio and they're the ones that told us about the Daiso store we'll have to let them know there is one there now
