We have a flight from Tokyo to Osaka at 8pm and then we go straight to our flight from Osaka to Honolulu. So fingers crossed it all goes smoothly today.

Kyoto to Tokyo, Japan: Travel Day
We had another wonderful pancake breakfast, while catching up with family. Then packed up and readied ourselves for the walk to the train station. We were taking the bullet train from Kyoto to Tokyo.

Osaka to Kyoto, Japan: Travel Day
We were shooting to catch the train to Kyoto about 10am. So the morning wasn’t rushed. We made pancakes and scrambled eggs. FaceTimed with family, and cleaned everyone up before we packed our bags. Here’s how we roll, without a roller bag. We have three backpacks. We tried not to even bring one for the… Continue reading Osaka to Kyoto, Japan: Travel Day

We had to set the alarm today for 7:30. We wanted to be out of the hotel by 10am for our flight to Osaka.

Anchorage, AK to Shanghai, China: Travel Day
Thanks to Ty’s endless search for the best flight deals around, our Thanksgiving plans included spending the week in Shanghai, China. Also fun with this adventure, my mom decided to join us.

They only issue visas from certain Embassies… Continue reading Anchorage, AK to Shanghai, China: Travel Day
Doha, Qatar to Anchorage, AK: Travel Day (a long one!)
It was such a beautiful sunrise. The driver even pulled over so we could take photos. Nothing like walking into a red carpeted area with staff waiting to take your suitcases and guide you directly to a waiting staff member to check you into your flight. The service we have received as business class travelers… Continue reading Doha, Qatar to Anchorage, AK: Travel Day (a long one!)
Negumbo, Sri Lanka to Doha, Qatar: Travel Day
We left the hotel about 8 in the morning for our flight to Doha, Qatar! Ty especially was super stoked for this leg of our journey because we were flying Qatar Airlines this time.
