Before we went to New Zealand, anyone who had been told us how much they loved Queenstown. After visiting, we feel exactly the same. Queenstown is a gorgeous little town surrounded by mountains with beautiful views of Lake Wakatipu. It's situated relatively south on the South Island and is pretty easy to get to via plane from most other...

When we booked our flights to Vietnam we were lucky enough to build in a 21-hour layover in Tokyo into our itinerary. I quickly started to research what we should do, where we should go, with less than 24 hours in such a large city. Some people recommended just staying in Narita, much closer to the airport, but if...
