Download Now or Listen on iTunes (or your favorite podcast app!)

Hello from Japan! This week on the podcast, we are joining you from Osaka, Japan! In this episode, we give you a play-by-play on how our long travel day went, including the 3-hour drive to Mexico City, 6 hours waiting in the airport for our flight, our 15-hour long haul flight, and then the 3 hours from touchdown until we arrived at our hotel. We talk about what it was like to arrive in Japan, how we dealt with the jet lag, and how baby Lou did through all of the big travels and change. We also talk about how nice it’s been to be back in Japan after 6 years and how much we’re enjoying the cleanliness, organization, efficiency, and quietness of the country! Plus, we share a little bit about what it was like to revisit Tokyo 6 years later, including some of the things that we did during our first few days there.

Enjoy!
