This is probably the longest time that’s past since finishing a vacation without updating my travel blog. The move to Japan was a little too big that I’ve pushed my East Coast write up till now. Haha. Nevertheless, I will try to get all the entries done at some point in time. Starting off – PEI. We arrived in Charlottetown mid afternoon and took a taxi straight to our hotel.
