Ha met us at the house and drove us, which was very nice cuz then we didn’t have to park to do long-term parking and all of that. But we made it to the airport and we got through security and now here we are in the terminal waiting for our flight. We did get noticed that our flight is delayed in Minnesota to Tokyo. So, we’re hoping that doesn’t get delayed further due to an equipment issue. But yeah, here we are. So, we’ll be getting on the flight today. If not, tomorrow.

So, we don’t know what that means, but the board says everything’s on time. So, there’s two deltas and I’m Yeah. to landing and one was taking off. He keeps running to the window to see the planes and taking a video of them. That’s what he’s talking about. I’m exhausted. We board in about an hour. Praise Jesus. They just called our Zoom. We’re boarding. This plane is taking off. You guys excited? We’re taking off. It’s happening. It’s happening. This is Okay, so you know what I did is Okay, I’m going to take this. So, what I did was I didn’t think this was going to happen like this great because the last seats were like really cool, but like I was like I don’t know. Same. So Luke was like I think we’re going to get better seats for the 12-hour flight. And I’m like I don’t know. So, I kept low expectations and I was like, I think we’re just going to have the same seats, but it’s fine because he’s like, I don’t even know how low recline. But anyways, and then we get here and we get all this stuff. And we can close it if I don’t want to deal with him anymore. I hate you. But this is the greatest thing of all time. All time. Like it’s all of its fun. I love this. Hello. Hello. I’m literally so much more excited than you would ever think. I know. I don’t I’m glad we have 12 hours on this. Oh, yeah. We need What you doing back here? I’m back with journaling. I did today. Got a full art station going on back here. Really made yourself at home, haven’t you? I’m messy everywhere I go. Dad, now it’s not time. Made it. Yep. We’re alive. Made it through customs. Okay, so we managed to get all of our luggage and find our transport. Now we’re waiting for our transport to come pick us up. We just arrived at our place and Oki is showing us around. We travel light. [Music] This is so What do you guys think? This is awesome. You’re in Japan, buddy. I know. You’re here. Give a tour. Anna gives a tour. What? You can help. Yeah, we’re in Japan already. I know. Not already. That was like the longest day of my life. There’s house rules. And here’s the house rules. First rule on the list, before parking, no parties, and before no smoking. First rule, most important rule of all, no shoes allowed. I love it. Dad’s kind of. So, where are we going? Ramen. We’re going to get dinner at a ramen noodle place. So, we are in quiet the middle of the city, Tokyo. And just wait. I want you to listen. There’s people walking everywhere and there’s cars, but everybody’s so quiet. Quiet. Quiet. I watched it. No ambulance. I don’t know what you do if you need an ambulance. They just politely ask to be Okay, let’s go. Vending machines built into the walls of the city. The kids are so excited for those. We are like legit in Japan. We’re like legit in Japan. We’re not just walking through the Epcot. I feel like I I feel All right, we just arrived at our first Japanese restaurant. I don’t know. what to do. Are they going to bring us something? How are you? Good. I’m just tired. This is the best room ever. I’m trying to keep composed and contain my excitement. Mhm. All right. So, we ate our meal. We’re now heading back. Now heading back to the house. Whole meal for the family of six with tip because there is no tip is $35. So happy with that. That concludes our big day of travel. See you guys on the flip side. Good morning. It’s day two, our first full day in Japan and we’re going to 7Eleven and then Kids Zania, a place where we get to like be different jobs and things. And so maybe it’s like the once big One, two, three. There’s oniiri, which I’m opening. And apparently, this is hard to open. So, I’m going to try to do it right the first time. I didn’t get any other, but you got rice and seaweed. I saw that. I like it. Try that in there. So, mommy, do you want to explain how the smoothie machine works? So, you pay first, which we forgot to do. I might have stolen a bunch of smoothies. I’m not sure. I know. But we’ll go back tomorrow. We’ll keep buying more. You’re supposed to pay first for um a container of fruit and then after you pay, you take your container of fruit up to a machine and you put it in the machine. You scan it, you put it in the machine, and then you pull it out and it’s a smoothie that’s been made from all the fruit, frozen fruit that was in the cup. We’re going to eat this here and then we’re going to go I just always feel like we’re in the way of everything. Too many people are not knowing what was going on. We need to like I think from now on I’ll leave you guys outside of places. I’ll go in and figure it out and then we’ll all go in together. We’re like holding up the whole 7-Eleven. There was a line that I got to figure out where we’re going. All right, we made it to the shopping mall that holds KZania. Yeah. I didn’t even know it was in a shopping mall. Me neither. But it’s nice. We just found and it’s cold in here. It’s very hot outside. It’s hotter than New York. Hotter and more humid. I found the loudest place in Tokyo. It’s definitely right here. So, something interesting I have noticed is that the only people that are making noises are kids. And typically, it’s when they’re happy or laughing. And so it just makes sense that at Kadzania it’s loud. Yeah. So everything in Japan is systems systems systems. Like just here at Kazania, look at the system you have to figure out. Everything has these times and ages and then they have these cards. Everything like it’s like they teach you from a young age systems. awkward part as a traveler is trying to figure out these systems that everybody else knows and it’s so clear when you don’t know them. You stick out like a sore thumb. Never mind that we don’t look like anybody else here. So, just a very interesting experience. So, tell me girls, you guys were flight attendants. Tell me about it. I was the one who got to speak on the on the radio thing and I I got to say like when we like departed and then when we got there and I also got to demonstrate the life vest thing. That’s cool. What did you get to do Summer? So I got the cleanup fun so I got to ask like can I take your plate and stuff? That’s cool. Awesome. Yeah. Now the boys are getting to be policemen at the police station. Policemen. Multiple. This is perfect. Policemen at the police station. So, uh, I had to find a fingerprint and you had to find a fingerprint. Yeah. I there’s this tape and you put it and it’s stuck onto something and then you put it where a fingerprint is and then it just then you can actually see the fingerprint. Wow, that’s so cool. I know, but I’m embarrassed. What did you guys just do? So, we made um like clay clothes and we creped it for the white wheels like we did the wheels. Yeah. Made the car. Yeah. So cool.

Our kids want to work a second shift. The kids wanted to work overtime cuz they heard there’s no tax on overtime now because of the big beautiful bill. So, they want to put in overtime, but we were very confused on what line there’s, look at, look at this line. There’s all that line. Can you see that? I don’t know if you can see it, but there’s lines for days, people. So, we’re standing in the line. Someone comes to check to make sure we’re in the right line, and she’s asking for a pass, but we don’t understand her. She doesn’t understand us. It’s mass confusion. Mass confusion. Apparently, we’re not checked in properly. I don’t know. Something else. We have to check him for the now. We’re cutting more people in line. I’m not sure. Where’s your skull? Right here. So embarrassing to cut. [Music] [Music] Big deal. Uh, go. Just go. I just don’t understand. I don’t understand. I don’t get it. So, you don’t speak the language. I know, but what are we doing?

We didn’t understand a word. I wasn’t expecting at all to be in Japanese. I don’t know what I was thinking. [Music] It’s not not appropriate. Sit down. There you go. So good. Really? So, I just found out the biggest tragedy of all. Alicia just told me that this ride that I was most excited to ride is closed for the next month. [Music] Really wanted to hear It’s a Small World in Japanese. Dang it. We’re about to get on Big Thunder Mountain, but I can’t film. Get a picture of the train coming. Okay, we just got off Thunder Mountain and then we walked into the restaurant that’s like connected to it and it only sells curry. So, we all got curry and the kids are excited. They’re fine with it. Just was kind of funny because we thought we would get like a hot dog or a burger or like a chicken leg and it’s every curry. Chicken curry, pork curry, meat curry. Oh, here they are. Oh, there’s the curries. Oh, it looks good. Looks great. It’s a lot less busy here. It’s like precoid Disney World in February or September when everybody’s gone back to school. because Anna James, what beautiful names you all have? Would you like to hold my hand? Oh, this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Okay. One, two, three. You just meet people out in the streets. They don’t do that. No, it’s fine. It’s harder to find. It’s harder to find that at home. The parade is about to start in like 5 minutes and we just walked up. This lady that works here made people move over and put our kids right in the front. But at home you have to like we’d be back here watching an hour before. [Music] This popcorn is warm and it’s so good. It’s salted caramel. And look at this campaign. It’s Tokyo Disney Resort. It’s a map. We’re on the Snow White ride. The ending, the happiest Snow White. Like the whole time there was no Snow White or the prince over here. Every time that lady would laugh, he goes he goes back at her. And I’m like, “Luke, stop.” because he did it so loud right in my ear and it was so creepy. Okay, there was the witch like 15 times. The witch, but there was no Snow White. The witch. The witch’s ride. Well, it just us the teacup ride. We’re pulling some cheese. It’s starting school years. I’m so excited. [Music] [Applause] How did you guys like the electric? It was so great. She said it was the best parade. Yeah, it was the best parade ever. So nostalgic. That was fun.

What’s the menu, Annaline? So, um, I’ll just It’s like kind of Italian food. It’s Italian seafood. You got seafood cowzone. You got sausage and meat sauce pizza, which sounds like fine. Tortilla. I mean, okay. It looks all fine and dandy on the menu, but then you go over and like you got this stuff like this says spicy cod row and potato pizza. You got a seafood cowzone, which I guess I would try. So cod row like cod row like cod egg eating so much popcorn. Yeah. Hands up people. Are you ready, buddy? Woo.

So every day around this time of the day, we start to get blessed with some special smells. The smell of lack of deodorant. We don’t think that they use deodorant here. They just use a bunch of body sprays. I see girls like just spraying their whole bodies. I don’t think the spray works. But you smell it here. [Music] We went under the waterfall thing. Okay, I think we’re going to hight tail out of here. We were looking for some food, but cold shrimp seafood pasta didn’t sound great. And okay, now another day is completed. Oh yeah.
