September Travel Budget In The Red
I always get excited when budget time rolls around, and I was particularly interested in this month.

Tokyo To Osaka Bullet Train
Travel Log: Day 87 (9/22), Tokyo Japan This was our last full day in Japan and we kept it close to home. Part of the reason was just to enjoy our place, but it was also because JC is sick. The timing of that is not good considering we have to travel to Osaka tomorrow.

Tokyo Museum Of Emerging Science
Travel Log: Day 72 (9/7), Tokyo Japan Today was quiet. Our biggest event of the day was going to McDonals for lunch. I was reluctant to do that because I thought we’d look like a stereotype going in there. It would only be worse in my mind if we were fat-asses. Once we got in

August Gap Year Budget Review
We have concluded another budget month while slow traveling internationally on our family gap year. I’m excited to crunch the numbers and see how our projections are matching reality. It’s the chance to prove or disprove that this approach of slow travel is sustainable over the long haul. Either way it’s useful data. The month
