After playing outside we needed some quiet time so Nana and I plopped on the couch and played some iPad games. I have a feeling that we’ll be doing this a lot on this trip.

After such a huge breakfast we decided to play outside a bit and run around to burn off some of those calories.

After opening presents we went to a Christmas morning breakfast buffet. Boy, did I eat a lot. I had a little bit of everything then I had a lot of fruits. I must have had at least half a dozen plates of some kind of fruits. They were so delicious! After we finished eating we

It’s time for bed. It is a big and bouncy bed with a mirror in the bathroom. Yeah, this is not a great way to get me to calm down before bed time.

Just doing some rounds before dinner. Ah, and now the food! I sat down demanded meat. I got meat. Every time I had an empty plate, I demanded more meat. And I got it. Then I had three pieces of kalbi.

Even though it was not long after I had breakfast, the household soon had lunch so I joined it. It was some kind of tradition called “The Great Taco Bell Run of 2023”. Even though I wasn’t sure what Taco Bell was, I did like the cheesy food I got to eat. Yum! After two

After I got some food in me and got washed up and changed I was ready to have more fun with my cousins. We did so much I can’t name everything, but all I can say is that we had a lot of fun!

I had a nice long sleep. I was trying to shake off jet lag. I slept until 11 in the morning. Mommy and Daddy stayed home to wait for me wake up while the rest of the family went to church. When they came back they were surprised to see that I still hadn’t got up. When we got up

As you know, I love to fly, so I was very excited to get on the airplane. It was too bad that I couldn’t get a window seat, but it was too dark to see anything anyway. Once we got settled in our seats I broke out the iPad. I don’t normally get to play

We are about to get on the airplane to fly to Hawaii and I’m so excited! I’ve been talking about the airplane with the lady’s face on it (Hawaiian Airlines) for a while. We’ve discuss the flight plan and the aircraft that we are going to fly on, and a lot of other flight details.

We have always had a hard time finding a taxi to the airport on the day we leave. So this time we tried something different. We took the car to the airport to check in the luggage first and then Daddy took the car home and then returned by subway. Some parts went smoother and

I had an early shower to wash the airplane (and throw up) off of me and was all ready for dinner. I have been having the greatest day and just can’t wait for dinner fun with everyone!

It is so nice to be at Nana and Papa’s house. I don’t have to go to a park to have fun outside. I just have to step outside. Oh so nice!

We arrived on Kauai safely, Our flight to Kauai was uneventful. I wanted the window seat but once I sat down I spent the whole flight watching videos on the iPad. We arrived on Kauai and Nana was there to greet us. It was possibly the first time I was still awake when we arrived. I was happy

We are heading to Hawaii today to celebrate Christmas with family. But we figured we should have a mini Christmas in Japan first. I have been patiently waiting for the opportunity to open my Christmas presents that have been sitting under the tree for a while. I got some really cool toys and some awesome

We safely arrived in Honolulu, but boy was the last leg of our trip tough. I got motion sickness on during the approach to Honolulu airport because of the turbulence. I had also eaten too much the night before so my tummy was a bit unsettled. Right after we landed, as the airplane was taxiing I threw up. It
