Travel Destinations List

Traveling for two weeks in Japan, the Ely family and the Kernan children stopped in Kyoto at the Golden Pavilion, the most visited shrine in Japan, and brought the Gazette along with them. They endured record temperatures as this photo was taken at 110 degrees. Their adventures included a two-day ascent of Mt. Fuji as well as trips to Tokyo and Kamakura. This trip is a long awaited return for the Elys as Michaele lived in Japan for three years as an English teacher working for their government in 1991. From left are Tim Kernan, Magi Kernan, Douglas Ely, Michaele Ely, Erick Ely, Cooper Kernan and Geoffrey Ely.

Globe-trotting gymnasts

Tom and Lori Waddell of Egg Harbor Township, front row center, and their daughter, Mikayla, took a trip to Japan with friends Bill (back row) and Naho Martin (not pictured). Mikayla, pictured holding The Current, is a Level 6 gymnast at Perfect Balance Gymnastics, which is owned by the Waddells. While in Japan, Mikayla and her father Tom had the opportunity to visit and train at two local gymnastic schools. Despite the language barrier, the two were able to communicate with the help of Naho's sister, Eku (pictured at the far right, bottom), who lives in Japan and teaches gymnastics. Mikayla exchanged gifts with her new friends in Japan, made by her and her teammates at Perfect Balance. The trip included two weeks of travel throughout Japan, including stays in Tokyo, Hakone, Yokohama, Bunsie and a special trip to Tokyo Disney.
