I’ve collected a lot of things over the past nine months of travel. I’ve got t-shirts from every country, coins in every currency, and thousands of rows of data. Across +20 workbooks, we have meticulously tracked every aspect of this trip. We can tell you how many miles we’ve flown (62,176), how many times we’ve …
In the past nine months, we’ve been to five continents, 24 counties, 53 cities, and twelve Disney parks. That is every single Disney park across the globe, plus the Aulani Hawaiian resort just for good measure. We expected international travel to wear away at some of Disney’s sparkle. We thought that maybe after traveling the …
We’ve passed the halfway point of our trip and it’s starting to freak us out a bit. We knew it would go fast, but we always felt like we still had so much time. But as the time we have left starts to get smaller than time we’ve been on the road, I can’t help …
Getting coffee is considered a formal travel activity for us. We spend more time researching cafes that have great coffee, reliable wifi, and hip interiors than we do planning actual tourist attractions. While this is totally normal for us, it’s rare that we see coffee shops creep into the list of must-do attractions in a …
Other than the ridiculous airline-issued pajamas I’m wearing, I’ve never felt more legit in my life. Right now, I’m cruising at 34,000 feet, above some country that doesn’t allow me to use my free inflight wifi (India, I think?), sipping on Krug Champagne, marathoning the Batman trilogy (the Christopher Nolan version), with my feet propped …
There are very few cities that so quickly steal our hearts and so fully take our breath away. There’s Munich, where we’ll never forget the moment we stepped out of the train station at Marienplatz and were awestruck by the imposing beauty of Neues Rathaus for the first time. Then there’s Seoul (swoon), and its …
We just left Kyoto and have arrived at our final stop in Japan: Osaka. There are only 55 kilometers between these two cities, but they’re an entire world apart. We’ve left the charming old streets and ancient temples behind, and we’ve arrived in a modern metropolis, buzzing with shopping streets, bright lights and tall buildings. …
The Great Wall of China is essential on any trip to Beijing and probably any trip to China. Visiting the Great Wall can be complicated. There are so many sections of the wall, tour providers and ancillary attractions to consider that it can make your head spin. The options and the cost can add up …
We love a good business class rewards redemption, but we love it even more when we get to try out a newly revamped business class product. We were super excited to try out the refreshed Japan Airlines Business Class Sky Suite on a Boeing 767 from Beijing to Tokyo. After a round of economy flights …
We had originally planned on being in Australia right about now, but we heard so many good things about the Kansai region of Japan that we decided we absolutely had to extend our time in the country. (Don’t worry, we just pushed Australia back a couple weeks.) And let me tell you, we are SO …
