Who said children cramp your style?
Lots has happened in the two years since we last posted. We got married. We had a baby. And we decided that we have to go back to Asia!
In 5 days, the three of us, baby in tow, will be embarking on a 3.5-week trip to South Korea and Japan. Obviously, this trip will be different - after all, we now have a one year old daughter. Luckily for us, she is an awesome traveler (or at least was when we went to Paris a few months ago), so we can't wait to start this trip on Saturday.
We will still be backpacking - it's so much more comfortable than lugging around suitcases - plus makes public transportation with a baby so much easier.
We have made a few adjustments, though. Instead of moving from city to city every couple of days, we will have a few anchor cities where we stay for 3-7 nights and we will be taking day trips to places we didn't get to last time.
So while we will technically be in Tokyo for a week, we will actually be spending one day in the city at most. Same goes for Osaka.
This blog is being revived so you can stay up to date with our travels and know we're safe (we're talking to you, family!)
On Friday, we took a practice run with the baby carrier, just to make sure we didn't have any surprises ahead:
Success! Her curiosity was peaked. We're going to have fun!
For some reason, it seems Baby Sophie was ashamed to be seen in public with us? We hope this doesn't happen in Korea and Japan!
Talk you Saturday (or Sunday!)

Since we've had kids (now 5 of them), everywhere we've gone has been *with* the kids. We also have friends that backpacked/camped across Australia for about 11 weeks a few years ago with their two kids (one 8 year old, and one 3 month old).
ReplyDeleteYeah more adventures! Cant wait to read them all have fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks! We are very excited. Just 3 more days! Mark - I can't believe y'all have 5 kids, that's just crazy (awesome). I can't even imagine 2 right now! :-)
