going to run back back to the yard Iāve got to punch out couple of hours of paperwork close up some business stuff there what time do you reckon the circus a lab will finish tonight I have no idea all I know is Iām looking a bit daggy with these pants but what happens if you have to go straight to the airport pdon what happens if you have to go straight to the airport well we go straight to the airport we have someone Uber ma car right girls we had an excavator delivered to the wrong spot Iāve got to reach out later have you got your shoes you donāt want socks he already got his shoes I had a little mishap back here with the popcorn popcornās just spilled everywhere oh dear so itās now 10:00 and I have to download all the photos from my phone onto the computer because Iām going to run out of storage for vlogging we use a lot of storage space for vlogging okay itās time to select some outfits to take away thinking I need lots of Summer things because itās going to be hot high 20s although there is a chance of rain so I might need a few like little rain jackets but time to pick out some outfits I have finally finished packing my suitcase mom is pretty close to having hers and Dadās finished Paris is just doing the last bit of folding now just going to do like a quick 2hour power nap get me charged enough charged up enough uh and then hopefully sleep on the plane my alarm didnāt go off at 2:30 it went off at 3:00 so now itās qu 3 and weāre trying to get all the bags in the car feel like home alone when they you know the alarm doesnāt go off luckily uh mom and Paris were awake they stayed awake the whole night so weāve jumped in the car it is now 3 42 technically we wanted to be on the road 12 minutes ago dadās just finishing up I think some last minute paperwork um all the cases are packed momās getting them out the door so itās going to be really soon weāre going to uh head to Adelaide airport because weāre flying to cans and then flying into Narita Japan weāve parked the car weāre standing out in front of the control tower letās get these bags inside and check in quas Lounge quas loue the long-term car park is only a like short what do you reckon like 5 minute walk 5 to 10 yeah 5 to 10 minute walk the only problem is when you are at the airport at 4:00 a.m. in the morning it is freezing [Music] so weāve just dropped our bags off made bag check in with uh plenty of time to spare 9 kilos of extra luggage uh remaining amongst all four of us so we can bring 9 kilos worth of stuff back from Japan we swap over planes in cans and then Japan it is letās go today we are repping the catch you on the roundabout travel Vlog backpack these are available on red bubble if youād like to join in the [Music] fun beautiful big lush green landscape behind Iām surprised Kās airport is actually a lot larger than I was expecting I guess we just get our bags and follow the signs where the bags come out on each gate theyāve got a different ocean animal so howās it coming out of the fish and into the turtle thereās a shark there is a clown fish like neemo that so fun momās bags are rhy parisās bags are rhy if our bags didnāt you know get on this flight and then weāve got to get to Tokyo like we got to collect our bags and go we donāt have time to wait for them to come on the next flight that would be stressful itās just good you got to go through like customs and everything bit hard oh yeah so they might not send it without us that would be interesting know what the procedure is there while Mom waits for the rest of the bags Paris and I are just going to step outside and feel the the can sunshine and warmth this will be parisās first time ever in can I came with Mom and Dad when I was really little so I donāt remember any of it except for this one memory of being in like the hotelās pool and there being a really big bug on the wall on the pole letās have a feel oh feel that Paris I havenāt felt warm sunshine like this in like months 2 months W okay I guess we should go back in and get the rest of the bag now this isnāt looking promising are we still missing two bags itās still not here oh no it was lovely and warm outside theyāve just called Dad over the speaker to come to the service desk I reckon his bag like thereās a problem with his bag weāre gonna go check what do you reckons happen hey so it actually happened dadās bag didnāt make it after we were just talking about it I donāt know if I jinxed it so weāre going to um make sure that we get all the address and details down and then theyāre going to send the bag to our hotel so itās coming on tomorrowās flight tomorrowās cans Nita flight think I jinxed that I was literally saying what would that procedure look like and now you know and now dadās bag didnāt make it so weāll go to the When we arrive in Tokyo tonight we hand this form that they have given to us to the airport staff and then all that we need to do um from there the form out for the fact it needs to clear Customs so without us signing a form it canāt clear Customs so they canāt deliver it to us so we need find consequences if we donāt do the form thatās why she said you must see someone at the airport when you arrive yeah and then they will send the bag to our hotel so tomorrow weāre out exploring Tokyo so then the bag will just arrive at the hotel okay weāre transferring to the international terminal letās go this is what the undercover walkway looks like like at least if it was raining you wouldnāt get too wet itās a nice uh flat concrete and we walk from the domestic across to the international terminal International Terminal looks pretty good only 400 m w yeah convenient beautiful sunshine for Dad is Bagless weāve got ours and he has nothing so why does it look like we are the only Souls at the International Airport there is literally no one no taxis no people going to be a quiet flight I thought maybe outside was just quiet but weāve just come inside and weāre the only ones in the terminal just said to the lady um oh boarding in 40 minutes because she said boarding in 40 minutes I went oh boarding in 40 minutes wow thatās quick I thought we were early and then she goes um no check in closes in 9 minutes like wow jeez really just cut it fine that was a tight you know our was running yeah late earli the first one didnāt take off till what half 45 minutes after 45 after it Me 2 security really creeped out how quiet this airport is like where are the people are they all on the plane I see some people yay we canāt say that this is a booming terminal not this I think itās just one flight which is the Tokyo Narita flight everyoneās just starting to board no one stood up and moved when the announcement happened cuz no one could hear it it was so like hazy so she just yelled out everyone had St boarding and then everyone got up all right weāre making our way down towards the plane now weāve just uh got our tickets scanned the man said that I had a nice passport photo that was nice he said itās unusual do people normally do people normally have bad passport photos jet star on week yay making our way down what seats did you book ooh [Music] 31 and we have touchdown Japan here we come looks like weāre going to get off on the tarmac and then catch a bus over to the terminal theyāve put the little staircase up to the plane be time to hop off very soon looks like theyāre about to open the door B room on this flight was really tight um we know that J always quite um restrictive but it wasnāt the most comfortable seating to be stuck on for 7 hours all right so weāve just gone through customs um and now we are making our way to baggage claim we are going to have to find a jet star worker to pass them oh look thereās our bags now to pass them the form they did say they might be wearing a white shirt okay weāve just come out of Customs I donāt think weāre ever going to see dadās bag again and that was very confusing um we got to catch a limousine bus which will take us to our hotel Kio Plaza hotel Tokyo all right weāre going to get on the bus itās going to take us to our hotel airport limousine itās been a big day big day of traveling we can see Tokyo Tower outside of the bus window with which I believe was built out of scrap steel from the W looks very different at night time compared to what it looks like during the day okay so we are arriving at our hotel all right so the friendly airport limousine bus has just dropped us off it has been one gigantic day and you know whatās really exting is wearing Club Lael
