Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore

The outbound flight from Singapore to Fukuoka Airport was uneventful and almost totally free from any kind of turbulence. Oddly though, the inflight breakfast was pretty awful and bland — or maybe I should have opted for the Japanese menu

My other trip to Japan this year on account of work, and specifically for an educational and learning conference in Tokuyama. And since I also had quite a bit more annual leave to clear for the year, I worked out
We got royally cooked by the sun during our Maldives trip in June. In fact, our girl quips that Daddy turned into crispy bacon, while she herself was fried into well-done steak – a reference to our respective Chinese zodiac
