We just completed our 2024 holiday in Osaka/Kyoto. I'd thought of going to Japan last year, but due to the low price of the China Shanghai/Jiangnan tour packages, I opted for that instead and so that Ye Ye and Nai Nai could accompany us back then, too.
This time around, more planning was involved when we were creating our own itinerary. Daddy and Mummy had sacrificed lots of time from our busy schedules to plan this trip, which is essentially for both of you. I'd spent many late nights researching hotels, searching for low airfares, good food to eat and places to have fun. I also have to study how to go to all these places and how much time to spend there, etc... This is why I've requested both of you to help out. I was particularly proud that Josiah did some homework for me, too.
I initially asked Mummy to go to Mexico and Las Vegas with me back in September and skipped this Japan trip to save money. A Desaru, Bintan, or Genting Trip for you guys should suffice. Mummy insisted that it had to be a family trip, and I wouldn't want Mummy to go to Bintan. This is how Mummy loves you guys.
Despite a few incidents that you guys frustrated me and mummy, we enjoyed the trip, though we can no longer remember the details. Planning the entire trip took effort, and executing it involved a certain stress level, especially while we were preoccupied with work during our holiday.
At your age, you can help push our luggage. I was particularly unhappy when you guys liked jumping on the luggage and rolling with your bodies. You can also help us take photos. I was again particularly unhappy when you took 20-30 pictures in one shot just to have fun. We are also less worried about you getting lost in the crowd.
However, we still love your childlike nature when both of you happily carry the Yoshi and Bowser you bought at USJ wherever you go for the entire seven days and even sleep with them in the hotel.
Over the past eight days, Felin and I have given both of you our undivided attention and have built a stronger relationship with you. We created memories together that I hope will last a long time. One thing I need both of you to know as well. After every trip, we were left with plenty of laundry and unpacking, and it easily took us another day from work.
