Chris and I thought for about ten minutes trying to think up a fun pun that combined international travel, medical study and the voice of the adjacent experience of the holidaying tagalong. Something that captured our expectations of observation, and overwhelming newness.
Unfortunately, we came up with nothing (please feel free to point out any we missed).
When was a kid I read the (now ancient) book 'What Katy Did' which was a charming, observational slice of life. I figured that would be a hopefully unpretentious name for a blog. So, welcome to 'What Chris and Holly Did (in Japan).
We are sitting in the super wide seats in the waiting space that overlooks the tarmac. The sky is blue with a plume of grey cloud that is slowly creeping across the sky. You can see the heavy rain across the Manukau Harbour and I'm glad the lightning from last night has not followed us.
The sky chefs are loading a black plane ahead of us. I'm super keen to get onboard, plug in some headphones and watch some movies. Chris wants to sleep - it's probably as a result of the two bagels he ate as we consoled ourselves after being three minutes too late for my e-vouchers to work at the Koru Lounge. Clearly we don't travel enough.
This trip is our honeymoon, OE and Chris's elective rolled into one awesome adventure. It feels like the culmination of a lot of hard work, overwhelming generosity and and time spent gritting our teeth and pushing forward. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. We hope to bring you on the journey with us as much as we can.
I'll add some photos and videos on to this later. Next stop, Royal Park Hotel Shiodome - nostalgia and family mart highballs await!
