Wow.

Wow. What a day it has been and we are still just in Tokyo! So many things have happened and we still have a 6 hr flight to get to Bangkok. Let's start at the beginning. First flight is Denver to LA. The flight is short and sweet, an easy 2.5 hrs on the smallest plane I've ever been on. The seats were sets of two rather than three so I got to have a window seat for once!!! I'm normally always stuck in the middle seat because Scott is too broad to sit in the middle and we want to sit together, so having a window was a special treat. Easy peasy. AND THEN.... I'm walking off the tarmac and the SECOND I get through the doors into the airport I look at Scott and I say, "I fucked up." He replied, "What??!!" with pure panic in his eyes. 😂 "I forgot my laptop." I had left my laptop under the seat in front of me. 🙃 Scott just shakes his head at me lol. The lady at the counter heard me and she said to not worry and just wait there, asked me for my seat number and went and got it for me. That was just the first scare.

^Flying over the Grand Canyon 😍

Now we are in LA with a 5.5 hr layover (not by choice, our flights were changed 10 times)... sooo we decided to leave the airport and go see the beach/grab some food. The closest nicest beach was chose was Manhattan Beach. We've driven by it on past trips but never actually stopped there. By the time we got there it was already dark out, which meant we had the beach to ourselves. We took off our shoes and took a short stroll, just to feel the ocean on our skin. 😊 I love the beach at night, it's so peaceful with no one around. Then it was time to eat. Scott had been mentioning wanting tacos on the plane over so I googled best tacos near me and a restaurant named Tacolicious popped it. It looked pretty good, so we decided to end our stroll and go clean off our feet on the boardwalk to get our shoes back on. We sit down for a moment, I switch shoes to flip flops for the time being till all the sand falls off. As I make room in my bag for my sneakers, I take out my wallet and lay it down, thinking in my head, "I'll just carry this since I'm about to use it at dinner." We pack up all our stuff, and walk the 4 blocks over to the restaurant. We check out he other ones along the way but this one def had the best vibes. We grab an indoor/outdoor table. It's a little chilly out but they have a great heater on that's not too hot. Perfect. The SECOND the server comes over and asks us what we want to eat, I panic. I realize I am NOT in fact carrying my wallet. 😳🤯😳 Scott is laughing and making small talk with the server, talking about different kinds of margaritas, and I'm in full blown panic mode, just waiting for her to go away so I can share my panic with Scott. She finally walks away after what felt like years, and I say to him, "You're gonna hate me...". He once again just goes blank staring at me. I say, "I think I left my wallet at the beach." He FREAKS out and stands up, about to go through all of the bags to make sure. I say I'm gonna go look! I start walking back, briskly. I have a good feeling its still there because it was super dark out and there was no one around at all. If I left it there it was left near some bushes, so it would be unlikely for someone to see it. I walking and walking, with Scott on the phone because he had to stay back to watch our stuff. I hop over the side of the pathway and walk down to where we put our shoes on and THERE IT IS...... SHEWWWWWW. That would've been really terrible. Scott breathes a massive sigh of relief and orders us tequila shots. 😂

Now that I have almost lost a SECOND extremely important thing, we are ready to shake it off and enjoy some tacos. Also Scott takes my wallet and says he's carrying it for the rest of the trip. 🙈 Very fair. Back to Tacolicious. We ordered an array of tacos including mushroom carnitas, shrimp, "vampire" tacos, fried cod and more. Tacolicious is named appropriately! They were DELICIOUS! Absolutely would go back and get it again, and we never say that. So if you're in LA, near Manhattan beach, give them a whirl.

*Side note - This is the first time either of us has ever had a long enough layover to leave the airport. If you find yourself with a long layover and can find something to make it worth your while, do it. It breaks up the monotony of the airport vibes and you can get way better food/do different things for way cheaper.

Now it's back to the airport. It is starting to really feel real. We are going to TOKYO! 🇯🇵 But first, we must somehow get through this 12 hr flight. We paid extra for the premium economy seats. Absolutely would recommend. The extra legroom and being closer to the front really did make a difference for us. The worst part? We were next to 3 different screaming children. When I say screaming, I mean screeching. I can have sympathy for most parents, I can only imagine how hard that would be, but this children were on another level. There was maybe 2 hours of the entire 12 hr flight that there wasn't one or more than one screaming at the top of their lungs. It was taxing on everyone around us. We honestly started to worry for the childrens health. Like their poor throats?? Sheeeshh. We slept in small bursts but for the most part we were up. The tv/music/game selection was pretty good. A 12 hr flight I think is always going to be difficult no matter how you swing it.

Eventually we made it. Walking out of the plane felt surreal. I didn't feel like we were actually there. Our plan for our 6.5 hr layover was to visit a nearby hot springs or "onsen." We figured that was plenty of time for a 15 minute taxi and an hour or two of soaking. We really wanted to be refreshed for the final 6 hr journey. In order to leave the airport in a foreign country you have to go through customs. I knew that, but I was blissfully unaware of how long and slow the Tokyo customs line would be. It took over 1.5 hrs to get through. Probably had to scan our passport at least 6 different times, and it was soooo HOT. 🥵 The outside temp was chilly, it was just the massive quantity of people all squished in the maze of a line that made it pretty unbearable. Once we finalllyyy got through we basically had run out of time to feel comfortable enough leaving the airport. I was pretty disappointed for a moment, but I saw a large sign hanging in the arrivals gates that said "Haneda airport garden." It intrigued me, so we decided to follow that path.. how bad could it be? We walked a little further and I saw a sign that said "Spa" and "Hot Springs." We both got so excited!! HOT SPRINGS?? IN THE AIRPORT???? It's gotta be like at least $200/person right? We figured we'd try it anyway, we got time to kill. Guys.. it was $37. THIRTY SEVEN. For as long as you like.. you can stay there all day.. Multiple pools, some indoor, some outdoor, all looking over the Tokyo skyline with beautiful Mt. Fuji in the background. ALL kinds of spa/bathing facilities, herbal saunas, some hot stone rooms with different types of stones. Rock salt stones, lava stones, and a cooling room for when you wanted to cool off. There was a "relaxation room" that was dark and peaceful and had the comfiest chairs to sleep on and blankets. I'm telling you all.. this place was HEAVEN. So serene. The most unique part about it was it was a Japanese traditional onsen, rather than a Western hot spring like we know them to be. Here, you had to wear certain outfits in certain spaces, and the soaking pools were segregated into women's and men's because you are required to be totally nude! That may sound weird to some, but after a minute or two you get used to it and it just feels natural. Embrace the culture, right?! It truly was the best experience. I am so sad when we fly back we are connecting in a different airport and we won't get to experience that again. Absolute number one BEST way to get through a layover. 100 stars. 10 out of 10. They even have a restaurant, and the food was delicious. The friendliest staff. Neither one of us can wait to go back. If you get the chance, you absolutely must do this. Please... for me...

*Side note - there is a rule of No Tattoos in all Japanese onsens, as they associate tattoos with gangs. Some, from what I've found, including this one, are flexible where you can purchase thin, basically skin colored bandages, and cover your tattoos, as long as they aren't too large. The coverings are cheap and easy to apply and covered a decent amount of surface area.

**No pics are allowed in the onsen, so I won't be able to share it's beauty with you.. You'll just have to go see for yourself. 😉

Alright. Final leg of the trip. 6 more hours to go. This time we are flying on Japan Airways, rather than American Airlines. I was a bit nervous because we didn't get any sort of upgrade on our seats, and we were pretty far back. Honestly these are the most spacious seats we've ever had in a plane. The legroom feels like the same amount that we paid extra for on the last plane, the ceilings are taller which makes the overall space feel bigger, and the seats are wider. No complaints. I mean my butt is DEFINITELY complaining as we speak, but I'm chalking that up to this being the final hours of our 34 hr long journey. I was still pretty full from the onsen breakfast, so when they came around offering us a meal on this flight I was going to pass, until I saw how cute and elaborate it was. It was like a 7 course meal, including multiple kinds of tea, miso soup, choice of entree, 3 sides, and they even topped it off with some Haggan Dass ice cream. They gave us REAL silverware.. like what?? On an airplane? I loved it. Thanks Japan Airways!

We are currently 2 hrs and 46 mins away from FINALLY being in Thailand. The last 2 hours of the previous flight were the most torturous, and these are shaping up to be as well. But what a journey it has been so far, and it has just begun. There is soooo much more we are going to see and do, and sooo many more stories to come!! I can't wait. Tonight, we check into our hotel and the plan is to RECOVER and RELAX. We'll be heading to Chinatown for dinner to see the last bits of the Lunar New Year celebrations.🏮🥡 I'm sure the food will be bomb, as will many other meals while we are here.

Thank you to anyone who chooses to follow along with us and read these crazy posts. Scott and I are grateful for all the love and support we have throughout this trip. I, in particular, am just so grateful to have my babe by my side for all of it, good and bad. I can't guarantee how often I'll post, but I want to remember as many small details as I possibly can, so stay tuned! I'll do my best! 😍

Next stop - BANGKOK! 🇹🇭

I try not to look at my phone when I meet up with friends for dinner... but I might do a selfie here and there

I was actually hoping the photo in the background would come out clearly because I liked it...

In hindsight I should have taken a direct photo from the photo of Barack Obama eating a taco at Tacolicious 🌮 I had some too...not on the same day of course, but they’re yummy 😋💕

'Tacolicious' Orange Sauce

‘Tacolicious’ Orange Sauce

The Orange sauce recipe is adapted from the Tacolicious cookbook. Tacolicious is a great restaurant in the Bay area known for its tasty fare. They serve amazing tacos and their sauces are to die for, one of which is the orange sauce. This delicious spicy sauce gets its heat from dried Arbol chilies, making it so addictive!! This sauce is of course a great accompaniment for tacos, but it is…

May we meet again soon 🥂 Happy Hour memories will have to do for now, and one of the best to remember is from Tacolicious in the Bay Area 😍 From their happy hour menu I ordered T-Lish Prix-Fixie = Tequila + Tecate + Taco I went with their carne asada taco and added their dip sampler called Holy Trinity = guacamole, chile con queso and refried beans. It was all amazingness and yes, they encourage you to eat with your fingers, not forks. 🤚🏻🤚🏻Highly recommend if you are ever in the neighborhood 😍 🌮 🌮 🌮 🌮 🌮 Hashtag time: #tacolicious #happyhourspecials #tequilashots #tecate #foodlover😍 #happyhourbar #virtualhappyhour #bayarealife #eatwithyourfingers #tequilalover #shotsshotsshots #neighborhoodlove #memories #wonderlesch (at Tacolicious) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAoXojAl3fj/?igshid=1542brtgmy291
