11 hours 6 000 miles two parents and one six month old is it the recipe for disaster or will it be
smooth sailing or flying as it were nobody wants to be the one on a flight with a screaming baby
oh brutal but I also believe Adventures don't have to end just because you have a child but
that doesn't mean it's not intimidating it's 9 30 we are about to catch a bus to go to LAX
and from there we're going to go to Tokyo and from there we're going to go to Osaka and then
we're going to catch a train to Kyoto with our six-month-old baby are you excited to go to Japan
yeah after getting into La last night around midnight so this will be interesting okay for us
are you ready
Felix has been on several flights none have been this long we've got a long journey ahead and
this is only the beginning that was great timing markshell just pulled up good timing good timing
there it is you know [Music] welcome to the lounge we got a coffee which we're very excited about
if you want to check out the food
[Music]
are you gonna make your own pancakes
can I have a little bike just a tiny little taste please you won't even notice it's gone
I'm invisible you don't see me I just want a little navel nothing more hey I'm here just
in case you didn't see me this doesn't look safe for you I should try it first
oh yeah and I'm going to be pumping all throughout this journey too that's every
three to four hours plus cleaning staying hydrated and remembering to keep the time
straight As we change time zones also you guys this is the best twenty dollars I've ever spent
this drying rack and especially these wearable pumps make it all possible I honestly don't know
how I would be able to keep up exclusive pumping while traveling otherwise [Music]
hahaha it's helping are you sitting like a big boy yeah look at you this is a new skill and
very tired guys [Music] hold up business class okay you guys for years I bag up on
it I slept only in dorms hitchhiked to get around and had the best stories from that
time but since then I've grown my business grown my mileage accounts and when we found
a good deal flying business class I jumped on it it's Garrett and Felix's first time
[Music] is it nice it is really nice it's really nice
oh brutal when flying with a baby one person is holding and the other is eating it's kind
of like parent life at ground level two am I right when your parents you take turn eating
[Music]
we basically missed our first nap today so I hope that the lights go out soon
we just need meal time to be over and these lights to be off so that
we can take a nap a much-needed nap we skipped like two already not good
I don't think the sizes are made for me
yes yes
flights are going out so what is this moisture mask
yep you put like this moist towelette inside the mess
it's a little strange to be honest we take turns sleeping getting a meal in and hoping
that eventually he'll get tired take a nap and hopefully it'll all go down with minimal
protest the little guy complied and I even had time to get some Ramen and a movie in [Music]
but mama can't rest for too long it's pump o'clock again when flying I recommend bringing some
filtered water or asking for bottled water to wash the parts and bottles with sometimes the water on
board isn't potable and even if it is I'm not sure about the state of those water trucks I like to
fold out the baby changing station put down some hand towels so that it's clean and use that as
my sort of pumping work and cleaning station it's tight in there but you get the job done
toilet seats
when traveling for so long with a baby especially for a daytime flight where I knew he would be
awake for a good part of it I knew that we needed to keep him entertained you can't bring an arsenal
of toys along but we always try to have at least one or two little things to keep him
occupied this plush whale Rattle and teether toy is one of his current favorites though it
just could not compete with the little coffee cup from the airline sparkling water in the sippy cup
oh your favorite toy oh I also wanted to make sure that he got his tummy time in so that was
another reason I wanted to opt for the lay flat seats so that we could replicate our routine at
home as much as possible my goal here was to have our typical nap times and arrive in the evening
right in time for bedtime to try to get ahead of the jet lag because yep babies get it too [Music]
oh
do you dare
risky risky with this one
[Music]
almost
time to land my ears are absolutely killing me and I don't think any of our bodies have
processed a different time zone but overall it was a smooth flight we're just not done yet
so we have to go to terminal one for our next flight all right
fresh shuttle bus he's lagging huh
it says one two and three it's a crowded shuttle bus
that was quite a bus ride okay we gotta check into the next flight get through security and
get on that plane [Music] all right we did it we made it 10 minutes to spare I'm excited [Music]
by the way Parents try to always feed at takeoff and Landing for the little guy's ears by staying
religious about this over the last 17 flights that he's had we've never had any issues thankfully
literally
I'm already impressed by the baby friendliness here I've never seen such an equipped family
bathroom we ducked into what we thought was like a family bathroom there's a lot going on
in here based dock your kid a sink uh I don't know what that is I don't know what that is
no this is another sink then that's where I think we're changing this is
an announcement for using the toilet for more information push the center button two times
thank you once we landed there were several ways that I found that we could get to Kyoto
but the best definitely looked like a direct bus that would take us to Kyoto station
very tired so am I yeah it'll be here in 10 minutes and then it'll take an hour to
get there so we should get there by 10 pm which is like 4 A.M [Music] foreign
[Music]
so we're walking in the bike lane so as not to slip and just eat [ __ ]
is it I don't know we're finally here and it's cozy and cute
time to put Felix down for the night and hope for the best babies get jet lagged too so I'm
hoping we can get over it quickly there's so much to see and do here and I can't wait
[Music]
