Our Christmas Vacation
The Kids are excited
Jadynn the most excited one since she probably don’t remeber much about her last to Japan.
Thanks kiddo for helping out with the suitcases
LAX is a lot less crowded than expected but this long line of people are waiting to check in at the Philippine Airline.
Yay.
The tator tots are harder than rock
Ketchup doesn’t help much.
Getting some snacks from the lounge
All you can drink bar.
We got here early and lounge was quite empty.
The traffic was so smooth this morning that only took us 30mins to get to LAX.
Found ourself a comfy area to relax and Jadynn couldn’t wait to get her hands on the switch.
Empty Lounge
Sparkling Wine
Posing like a VIP per request.
Got our Visti Japan QR ready.
Screenshots them ahead of time to save the hassle.
There’re 3 of them, why can’t they just make it one and for all.
We put AirTag in the luggage to track them down.
Kids posing in front of the Xmas Tree by the Lounge entrance
The boring LAX has no Christmas decoration at all.
This is the only Xmas thing we see inisde the terminal.
Our bunny was left behind?
Thanks to Jadynn, as a child.
The whole family got to board the plane ahead of time.
Lets get a family pix done.
Amy said the premium econ are well worth the upgrade.
Plenty of legs room
Lets see what’s on the flight menu.
JAL Original Drink, nope, they don’t have it.
Beef or Fish, sir?
Prepared by the 大媽
The Premium Econ is what they call SKY PREMIUM.
Its actually very spacious, even for me. Their business class is the weird 凹凸 style layout.
We got something off the menu.
Jadynnwent for the gummy first.
Pre Ordered the Seafood meal, come with Smoke Salmon salad.
Daddy need to take pix first.
AIden wasn’t impressed with his meal.
He also worried he’s going to barf again like last time we flew to Hokkaido.
Kids got Kids Meal of course.
Chicken nuggets and tator tots.
But no ice cream if you order seafood meal. So Cheap.
Happy face salad for the kids.
Kids got ice cream too.
However, they do give ice creams for both kids.
Jadynn already finished her and set her eyes on Aiden’s ice cream.
She’s drooling already.
Thank you Aiden for sharing.
Sugar High.
Afternoon snacks.
the JAL Udon de Sky
Amy got one too and feeding Jadynn in the back.
This thing is HOT but YUMMY.
Now she got her own cup of Udon de Sky too.
She’s a udon lover.
笑到見牙唔見眼
They even give you a small pack of 七味粉
都幾多料喎
Very strong head wind, it reached 195 mph at one point and our flight time was stretched for another hour long.
Another light meal before landing at HND. This is kids meal with OREO cookies.
This is shrimp pasta,
Kids fell asleep so they put a tag to remind the crew to serve them meal when they wake up.
Finally arrived after 13+ hrs
Trying to beat the crowd as I figure the line at Japan Customs will be long.
We landed at 615pm, 45mins late, and didn’t get out of HND until 730pm
There was a lot of traffic too.
We finally checked in at hotel by 9pm but already missed our dinner plan.
We want to go eat beef tongue, even the place “suppose to” close at 10pm, they already getting ready to close at 930,
End up eating Ichiran Ramen
Not so bad for a quick fix, and it so cheap. I think it was around 1000 – 1200 yen a bowl of ramen. Reasonably priced.
Stopped by Family Mart to get some snacks.
Messy eater
She got some chocolate ice cream from Aiden too.
The craps I need to carry everyday.
