• First Stop: Sydney

    Dec 20–22, 2025 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    We booked our ANA flights with friends back in January, and here we are!
    Packing for this trip hasn’t been easy, as we plan for what to wear here (mid 30s) to below zero when we land in Sapporo next Tuesday. With our new XL suitcases (thank you BF sale!) we were able to pack plenty of layers/thermals. The summer gear went in a small duffel bag and our puffy jackets squished into a carry on suitcase.

    We usually hop on a Murrays bus to Sydney and spend the night at an airport hotel. This time we decided to drive and spend a couple of days here, enjoying some sunshine and catch up with Jazzy’s Godparents. The roads weren’t too busy- we left home at 2.30pm and arrived at our apartment in Mascot just before 6pm.
    We enjoyed some nachos and salad for dinner at the local South Sydney Graphic Arts Club
