Also when we travel to 4 countries in approximately 24 hours! 🤪 So Ty and I booked this trip back in the early fall of 2019. Before we’d really taken our three other giant international back to back trips. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Our Christmas trip to Japan was lovely, but also full of total burnout. It. Was.… Continue reading Anchorage, Ak to Johor Bahru, Malaysia: Travel Day(s)

Honolulu, HI to Anchorage, AK: Travel Days
We had two full days in Hawaii before we left at 9pm on the second night. The weather on the first full day sort of cooperated. It wasn’t glorious sunshine, but it wasn’t pouring rain either. We had weird intermittent mists but for the most part we played at the beach. R is a total… Continue reading Honolulu, HI to Anchorage, AK: Travel Days
Tokyo Disney, Japan to Honolulu, HI: Travel Day
It’s our last day in Japan! Exciting and bittersweet. It’s been quite the experience but we are ready to be home.

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. It was going to take 2 hours, and the kids were so excited to get a chance to watch some shows.… Continue reading Kyoto to Tokyo, Japan: Travel Day
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
Okinawa to Osaka, 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.

Shanghai, China to Anchorage, AK: Travel Day
We had flight around noon. So it was a nice relaxing morning at the hotel. Sure lay on the floor as long as you’re quiet! There was no way we were going to be inconspicuous with this kid around. Yep man pony with a feather from the zoo stuck in it! Security was like three… Continue reading Shanghai, China to Anchorage, AK: Travel Day
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. Fun (not really) side fact about traveling to China, is their visa approval is super restrictive. 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!)
