(upbeat music)
- Good morning, today is an adventure day!
We are going on a special trip
that Claire doesn't even know where it is
that we are heading.
But it is going to be quite the adventure today.
And Claire, where do you think we're going?
- I have no clue.
- [Dad] Any guesses?
- Australia. - Australia's her guess.
That would be very fine and
that would be quite the adventure.
- I guess the first that came to my mind,
I really don't know.
- It's gonna be quite the fun video.
Let's get to the airport.
(upbeat music)
And hopefully you saw our video on our main channel.
Our family channel yesterday.
Or it even knows today that went up
but probably would not before this video
that shows you exactly where we're going
because the whole purpose of this trip
is for a different reason
that Claire will find out about later.
And we probably published that video
and I hope that it was amazing
and this is kind of the vlogs that
that made this that video happen.
That's what this is, this is our
our trip to get back.
(upbeat music)
Let's go, you got Teddy.
(upbeat music)
Claire you have to come with me
and take care of that.
I don't want you to hear where we're going
so put headphones on.
(upbeat music)
Are you ready to find out where we're going?
- Yes.
We're going to Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota.
- (rewinds) Really?
- Yeah.
(claps) Minneapolis.
That's good excitement for Minneapolis. (laughs)
What's your question?
- We had to bring like, bugs spray,
lotion and stuff, so I?
So it's Minneapolis what what?
What's the last word? - Minnesota.
- Minnesota?
I don't think we're going there,
I'm being completely honest.
- Hey you have to wait and see.
- 'Cause we had to get passports.
Where we going?
- Just have to wait and see. - I'm just so confused.
- Hey Claire, here's your boarding pass right there.
Minneapolis.
- Okay, so there are two flights.
We're going to somewhere else.
It's probably like not even minutes of it
and you're just joking. (dad laughs)
I'm not disappointed that we're going there,
I want to go anywhere.
But the thing is, like we needed our passports
and I needed to get like bug spray
and there aren't a lot of bugs there, I don't think.
Then I needed to get those shots
because we were going like out of the country, right?
It just doesn't make sense.
- Minnesota's not our final stop.
- I knew it, I knew it!
I didn't want to break your brains,
so I'm telling you now.
So I don't want you to be too stressed,
I want you to be able to relax on this fight,
just calm down.
(upbeat music)
Welcome to Minneapolis.
We've made it to Minneapolis,
and I have a few ideas of
some really fun things to do.
All right, so we have a few hours,
I don't really want this big backpack.
We're just gonna put our stuff.
Found it, ooh that's big.
This is a huge Locker, okay.
But I'll stuff in there that you don't need for now.
Teddy?
Go and put Teddy in there?
- I could fit in that. - Here we go.
Are you sure you wanna bring Teddy with us?
- Yes.
- 'Cause Teddy will safe in here for a little bit.
- I don't know maybe, well what do you think?
- Okay, Teddy you'll be good.
Teddy stay in there, guard our stuff Teddy.
Okay we're good, let's go party!
(upbeat music)
What do you think about Minnesota so far?
- It's hot.
- It smells like barbecue,
which I really really like.
That smells good and it's warm,
it's nice out here in Minnesota.
All right, how are you?
Going to the Mall of America.
We have a little bit of a layover so.
What's the one place to see in Minneapolis?
The Mall of America.
(upbeat music)
What is that?
Why is there a log ride?
- What?
- Okay it's been like 20 years
since I've been here.
They have like one roller coaster back in the day.
This is a legitimate amusement park
inside of the mall.
I'm kind of blown away here.
And I'm so glad that
it's so close to Minneapolis Airport.
So that we can just come and hang out here.
This is like this is perfect.
Okay what do we do for a start?
- I don't know.
There's so many things.
- [Dad] Let's do a zip line.
Let's heavy do a zip line.
You like zip lines?
- It is safe? - Yeah it's safe.
We're in the mall.
- We're in the mall, is it safe?
(upbeat music)
They have the swings, the swingy swings over there.
- [Dad] Oh the swings, I like the swings.
Let's do that.
So I barely told you, where we're going
or what we're doing.
So the next stop from here around 7:30 tonight
we're flying to Nairobi, Kenya.
Crazy right?
You guys know the secret now.
She still doesn't know.
And let's see what she says
once we surprise her at some point.
So this is gonna be like,
one of the longest days ever.
But I'm glad that she's able to
go on these swings.
And we can have a little bit of stretching our legs
before we go and do all that stuff.
(screaming)
Your turn Claire.
- I don't want to.
- You got this, go for it.
(upbeat music)
(screaming)
I don't think you opened your eyes ones.
- It was fun, I was just closing my eyes.
And I decided to open my eyes ones
'cause I felt like it stop.
So I open up my eyes, but we're at the very top.
And I screamed so loud.
And I just keep my eye shut for the whole time.
- Her eyes we're closed,
every time I'd go, "Claire, Claire!"
Did you hear me say, "Claire"?
- I heard you.
But I don't want to keep looking at you.
It's probably really scary. (laughs)
As much as we've loved the mall.
I think we've had enough of the rides.
And we are ready to go back to the airport.
Where are you flying next?
- I don't know. (dad laughs)
How about you tell the people.
I already told them while you're on the swing rides,
I told them.
- Are you se--
I saw you talking, and I'm like.
- [Dad] You should have listened louder.
- Listen louder? (laughs)
- We made it back to the airport.
Are you so happy we found Teddy?
Well let's make sure Teddy's in there still.
- Yey, Teddy, yey!
- Teddy!
We picked up lots and lots of bouncy balls
in case we see any little kids
that we want to get bouncy balls to.
How many did we get like 30 40?
- 27! - 27?
That should be enough,
hopefully we see 27 kids.
Tell me what your guess is?
Where are we going?
If if it's right and I'll say yes. (laughs)
- So the first one is I think is Brazil?
- Brazil? - Maybe.
- [Dad] No, second guess?
- But I don't think it's right.
- Okay go. - At all.
Ah the Philippines?
- [Dad] Philippines will be cool, but the answer is no.
- I don't know, I don't know where we're going.
- She has no idea.
That's fun, she has no idea.
- You said that some you've never been before.
Two places, it could be Countries.
It could be. - Okay.
- The South America, which I think you've been to,
but you didn't answer me.
- [Dad] I've never been to South America.
- Okay, or Africa.
But I'm thinking it's Africa.
But you haven't been to both of them.
Ooh wait!
- [Dad] We still have three more planes to fly on.
(rewinds)
- Is that even possible,
to have like a seven flight?
- Four, four, we already been on one today.
- I feel like we've been on seven.
- We have three more planes to go on.
- Three? - Three.
- Three, how many hours is that?
- A lot.
(laughs) - Bye!
- I don't know if I can take it anymore. (laughs)
She just keeps asking and asking.
It's really really cute and its really fun.
The rest of today is going to be exhausting
like three flights, three flights!
They're barely any layover in between.
I think this one's eight or nine hours.
And a two-hour layover.
Then another eight-hour flight.
And then we have to go through
security customs all this stuff.
And go on this little tiny like
puddle jumper plane.
And fly to Mombasa, we land at like midnight.
And we take like a 40-minute 50-minute ride.
Hopefully somebody there to pick us up to the hotel.
It's gonna be a crazy day.
I should probably just tell her
so that she knows what to prepare for.
Okay you're back, you're back?
- So I scanned them, quite quickly.
So many names and my eyes started to hurt.
So I just took a picture of it.
- Okay.
- Okay, tell me the exact time.
- [Dad] 7:35 I think.
- Yeah, I have it. - What is it?
- We are going,
we are going to Antsterdam.
- What is it, say louder? - Antsterdam!
- I can't hear you, say it louder.
- Antsterdam! (laughs)
- [Dad] Ants, Antsterdam?
Is there a lots of ants there?
- Or Hamsterdam. (laughs)
- [Dad] It's not Hamsterdam.
Yes we are flying right now to Amsterdam.
- I knew it!
- [Dad] You didn't know it!
(upbeat music)
You ready to go see some hamsters and ants?
- Yeah! (laughs)
(upbeat music)
- [Flight Attendant] Welcome to Amsterdam!
The local time here is 10:28.
- We made it, we made it to Europe.
Yipee!
Says emergency exit.
They're just doors.
I think they go to Hogwarts.
We're about to get to my favorite part here.
This is the big area coming up
and there's one of the coolest clocks
you've ever seen.
There's a man inside of it
that changes the time every minute.
Just fixes it.
Every day, every minute!
See, here he goes.
Oh, it's time to change it.
Look at that.
Isn't that cool?
Every day he's there.
Every time I visit.
- I don't think he's real.
- Clever girl!
- I got you some Chocomel!
I think it's chocolate milk.
So, we're at this really cute restaurant.
They have awesome breakfast!
This is where I came with Zach from JerryRigEverything
about three or four months ago.
We have a bit of a layover.
Do you wanna know where we're going now?
What's your guess?
- Maybe it's somewhere in Africa.
- You're right! - Really?
- Yep, where in Africa?
You said it earlier.
- Nairobi? - Yes, Nairobi! (laughs)
We're going to Nairobi.
But then, but it's like an eight-hour flight.
So it's another flight.
Just as long as the one here.
- That one was so long. - This one's just as long.
- Will they have blanket?
- We have to go through customs
for about two hours.
We go on another smaller plane
to a place called Mombasa.
Mombasa, the little tiny place in Kenya.
And then we are gonna go to these villages.
And we'll see all these little kids
that don't have a school.
For our friends Zach and Cambry for their wedding.
It's gonna be their wedding present
but we're putting in desk
that say Zack and Camry on it for them.
- I'm so excited.
- All right, we are just about to go on our
plane to Nairobi.
And we did something a little crazy.
So we came up to the desk
and they're like, "Sorry you can't get seats together".
And we're like 30 rows apart with middle seats.
I'm like, "Oh that doesn't sound good".
So we asked to see how much it would cost
to upgrade to first class.
And it wasn't crazy expensive, so we did it!
We're on the second level of a 747.
Something I've always wanted to do,
never been able to go upstairs in a 747.
- So we get those bed seats.
So it's bed chairs.
So we got an eight-hour flight to Nairobi
and we're gonna have some lay down seats.
So I'm gonna try to sleep again on this one
and then jet lag won't be as bad.
No excuses for being too tired.
You need to sleep and Teddy needs to sleep, okay?
This is a good way to to finish off this long trip.
Actually we have one more flight after this.
(peaceful music)
Your seat.
So we're in the bubble
and the pilots are in that room up there.
So fancy!
- Oh my gosh, I can't believe this is really happening.
Oh my gosh!
- Look at this we have like a little separate room.
And then this chair will lay down.
And then you have a real TV in front of you.
Like a big old TV, so you put your feet.
- Oh my gosh this is crazy, oh my goodness.
Breathing space, oh! - See if it's cozy enough.
How does this work?
All my stuff right here.
My book. (giggles)
- [Dad] How are your feet are gonna go though?
- I know my feet will go there eventually.
(upbeat music)
- [Dad] We made it!
We're in Kenya!
How do you feel?
- Tired. - Pretty tired?
Look at this place is so quiet.
It's so quiet and there's people everywhere.
Where do we go?
I think we go over there to that thing.
Look how quiet it is, there's so many people here.
It kinda reminds me of Japan a little bit,
where everybody's just quiet.
Maybe because it's like midnight or something.
What time is it?
The temperature is way better than I thought it would be.
It's kind of winter here, so this is winter?
I think it is winter.
Maybe not kind of.
I really can't get over how quiet it is here.
It's eerily quiet.
We're in Africa!
Oh look there's a welcome to Kenya sign.
Let's get that on camera.
Hey Claire, when you woke up yesterday
did you think you'd be in Kenya the next day?
- Yeah. - You did?
Where did you think we would be?
- I don't know.
- New Zealand you thought we'd be in New Zealand.
- No I didn't, I just thought we're go to New Zealand.
I don't I've never been there.
- We're so far away from New Zealand right now.
I don't even know if you could see me
but we are out here on the runway
just walking to our plane.
(upbeat music)
All right, apparently they moved us to
first-class, that's nice!
It's a short flight, it's like an hour.
Wow we made it to Mombasa.
It's like 2:00 in the morning.
2:30 or something.
Not much going on at this airport.
But now I don't really know
if we have somebody picking us up or not.
I do kind of know where our hotel supposed to be.
So that's good, but maybe there will be somebody here.
(peaceful music)
Oh, that's a Daniel!
Daniel Markham!
This is it, we found it.
Hello. - Yeah how are you?
- Good.
- Have a flight delay?
- Sorry you had to wait so long.
(peaceful music)
All right, made it!
Pretty fancy place.
What do you think?
All right, we are all checked in.
We have to wake up at 10 a.m.
to come and extend our reservations
we're only here for one night.
We should be good
but we have to wake up still.
So now we have a nice man
that is taking us to our room.
Carrying my heavy bag.
It's so heavy.
Check out all this beds.
We have three little beds.
At the Voyager Hotel in Mombasa, Kenya.
Okay, well we made it to Kenya.
I hope you enjoy the long adventure
of the surprise of Claire.
This I guarantee this is not where
she thought she was going to be.
Driving over I could see how poor it was in Mombasa.
Very similar to the Philippines
where I'd lived for many years.
And I was born there.
I am grateful that were able to spend some time
doing some service here.
We had fancy flights here
and life is fancy in the United States.
And then you come to somewhere like this
and you remember,
be grateful for the things that you have
and make sure that you share that with others.
We found a really good organization
that lets the Kenyans build
and do things for themselves,
so it's not just us coming in
and like doing all the work for them
and giving them jobs and then also giving them
things that are valuable like good schools.
So that's it,
That was a long day.
I feels like it was like two or three days.
But we're here.
Claire are you happy that we went on this trip?
- Yes.
- [Dad] What's your favorite thing so far?
- I don't know, well everyone was so nice here.
- Yeah, they're so friendly.
They shows how to do everything in this room.
Okay, both these beds are pretty big
which one do you want?
- This one. - That's yours.
- I already test it.
I go sit here and I sit down,
and I go, "Oh this is a nice bed"
and then I came right here
and I realized it was more bouncy.
So I chose this bed.
- [Dad] Oh you took the better bed. (laughs)
That's okay you deserve it, you've been a trooper today.
(peaceful music)
- Antsterdam.
- Ants, Ansterdam? (laughs)
