just a family seeking out great adventures
Fact: I love Disneyland! When I lived in Southern California, I had an annual pass to Disney, because I love it that much (it's the most magical place on earth!) Fact: The prices at Disney are really ridiculously high these days! I used to hold an annual pass that allowed me to go every day... Continue Reading →
I've had several friends approach me and tell me that they really really want to travel, but they have no clue how. As far as I can understand, they're simply overwhelmed with choices and unknowns and don't know where to start. This is for them. Here's my newbie guide for planning an international trip: Step...

I know it's August and all, but today is picketing day for my union, so I think it's a good day to discuss what happened for me on Christmas to demonstrate the unfair labor practices of the airline industry in the US. I don't know if you all remember, but basically the Pacific Northwest completely... Continue Reading →
Things I love: Good deals. Surprises. Food. As a result of these three loves, I am OBSESSED with the app TooGoodToGo. I promise, this is not a paid endorsement. It’s just one of my favorite things to use on a layover. Basically, it’s an app where you can pay to get leftover food from restaurants,... Continue Reading →
Let's just start off with defining a toddler as a little human between age 1 and age 3. Again, I'm no expert here, but between these defined ages, my kiddo hit 5 different continents, so I feel like I do have some helpful experience here. Have a Movement Plan. Okay, this sounds weird. But you... Continue Reading →

Here's how it went down: I booked an AirBnB near Kuromon Market in Osaka for 3 nights. I was supposed to land at around 10pm at the Osaka... Continue Reading →
I've explained before that my family and I can fly for free on my airline for domestic flights, and for just taxes on international flights with my airline. My family and I can also fly for discounted prices on most major airlines. As a flight attendant, I have an additional bonus (known as a cabin... Continue Reading →
About two weeks ago, I hit my one year anniversary as a flight attendant! Let's talk about it. Can you imagine wanting to go to work? I know! That's a crazy thought, isn't it? In all seriousness, I hope that many people do look forward to going to work. Towards the end of my career... Continue Reading →
I am an incredibly frugal person. I think sometimes people look at my life and may think that I live a life of deprivation and that I miss out. I'm sure sometimes it's true that I've really missed out on something amazing because I didn't want to spend money. But MOST of the time, I... Continue Reading →
So when L was around 20 months old, we had a trip planned to Vietnam. The only problem? Saign was having a ton of back pain. He got an MRI which showed a herniated disc, but he couldn't get in to see the back-doctor-guy until after our trip. He told me he wasn't sure he... Continue Reading →
