00:00Probably gonna be a tough 48 hours. I've had a lot of you guys reach out to me
00:04and message like for advice on you know like you want to travel with your one
00:09year old. All right about to start the toughest leg of our journey 14 hour
00:20flight with a almost one year old. Let's see how this goes. So our flight, first
00:26flight, it's delayed two hours. So naturally we're having a beer.
00:35I can't believe our life. Sometimes I'm just like, do we just have the worst life in the world?
00:41Being a nomad is not a vacation. It's freedom but it's also discipline. It's
00:46an exchange of security for enhanced experiences. It's a way of life.
00:51Sometimes I get it crazy and everything seems hazy. Is there some place for safety I can go?
01:02Run away, run away, run away into your escape. Run away, run away, run away. You're never too far around.
01:13Run away, run away, run away into your escape.
01:19Run away, run away, run away
01:21Run away, run away, run away
01:58Well, I'd never know what to do with you
02:05And I'd never know what to say, what to say to you
02:21It's always sunny when you're from, I know
02:29It's lonely all, you're so bright, you're so bright, I'm sure
02:34I'll take you away to where the sun shines, so bright, so bright
02:40You can stare at the stars at night at night
02:44You can tell me anything you like
02:59Don't you forget about me when you go away
03:14Alright, we are right at the beginning of basically a 48 hour journey from Tulum to Bali
03:26We're at Tulum Airport, which is pretty much a brand new airport
03:29And it's actually really nice, it's very empty
03:34There's not many direct flights to go from here
03:37Getting from Tulum to Bali is actually like not that simple
03:40So we're going Tulum to LA where we'll spend the night tonight
03:47With a quick two hour layover in Atlanta
03:51And then we spend the night in LA, just go to a hotel, sleep
03:55And then we fly from LA to Bali with a quick two hour layover in Manila
04:02So it's pretty much going to be, yeah
04:05I'd say around 48 hours of travel with a break overnight in Los Angeles
04:13Honestly, the easiest way I could do it
04:16Like I spent probably a whole two days trying to find the best way to get from here to Bali
04:23One option we considered was flying from Cancun to Madrid, which is really cheap
04:27It's like a couple hundred bucks to get to Spain
04:29And then spending a couple days in Spain
04:33Fly to Turkey, which is pretty cheap as well
04:38But then getting from Turkey to Bali wasn't super simple or cheap
04:42Like it was just too many stopovers
04:44And we just feel like at this point with Lila
04:49If it was just the two of us
04:51We'd probably do all those layovers and spend a few days here and there
04:56But with the jet lag and the sleep
04:57And having Lila as well
04:59Like we just wanted to get there as fast as possible
05:01And this is probably the fastest way to do it
05:05So it's probably going to be a tough 48 hours
05:09If I'm being completely honest
05:11But we'll get through it
05:35You come outside
05:36And see what it's like
05:38I think you'll find that the weather is nice
05:42You go get drank, it's not as bad as you think
05:46You can keep the sick, but you'll be fine
05:49Wake up around nine
05:51Then you do it again
05:53And again
05:54And again
05:55And again
05:57Thank you
05:58I see me
07:32takes and security sometimes it's really hit and miss sometimes it can take forever it doesn't look
07:39like there's anyone in immigration actually i think we're going to be good traveling through
07:45hardfield jackson that's an international here whether you're headed out for the first equipment
07:50travel or strong reserve press or relaxation or return home
08:07wow we're actually going to make it with plenty of time that took like 20 minutes to get our bags
08:12go through immigration drop our bags off get to the other terminal now we're just headed to the gate
08:47so
08:53so
09:19Is it good?
10:03Alright, I'm about to start the toughest leg of our journey, 14 hour flight.
10:11With an almost one year old, let's see how this goes.
10:16Oh wow, it's busy in here.
10:22This is Philippine Airlines here.
10:46So our flight, first flight, is delayed 2 hours.
10:52So naturally, we're having a beer.
11:02Yeah, I can't believe our flight.
11:07Flight's delayed 2 hours and it's Sunday.
11:11And like, there's football on.
11:19So, we're going to sit here and have a beer and watch football for 2 hours.
11:22And I'm just like, sometimes I'm just like, do we just have the worst life in the world?
11:26No!
11:26No!
11:29No no no no no no yeah
11:40On the outside is over there.
11:55That's yourself and I can't believe you have anything
12:31Okay, we survived. Two massive days of travel. Still recovering. It's been a couple days. The jet lag is probably
12:44the worst that I've ever experienced with Lila. She was absolutely incredible on the long-haul flight, the 13-14
12:54hour flight. She pretty much slept the entire time.
12:58Yeah, you did, didn't you? And we were in a middle seat, which was an economy, which was very humbling.
13:08Um, but we did it. We made it through. She didn't lose it until like the last half an hour
13:17of the last flight from, where was it, Manila to Bali.
13:23Um, but anyway, we made it. We're here. We're so happy to be back. My goodness.
13:34Yeah. Yeah. Lila likes it so far. Um, we're starving, so we're just going to head out for some food.
13:42Um, to one of our favorite warungs, um, that we used to frequent very, um, very, very often last time
13:50we were here. So we're just going to head there now.
13:53Hi there. You're not going to eat it? I guess you'd be eating quite a bit of a reason.
14:02So all of this food, which is, it's called an azicampur, I guess, right? It's just a mix. You just
14:08pick whatever you want. Um, usually comes to about 80,000 baht for two, 80,000 rupiah for two people.
14:16And it's so good. It's the best option. I don't know how anyone doesn't eat at warungs every day.
14:22Okay, so this place that we're at is called Baruna Barul, I believe. Um, it's sort of near Echo Beach.
14:31We love coming to this one. I always order the tempeh when we come here. It's so good.
14:36Also this green chili. Um, it's not that spicy, but it's so good.
14:43And they always get the yellow rice as well. And always ask for sambal to go with it if you
14:47like spicy food.
14:49Man, I've missed this so much. Like, I've been craving this for, I don't even know how long. Way too
14:56long.
14:58I didn't know about the green chili. That's green chili?
15:01Yeah, like this chopped green chili.
15:05Usually this will come with babiguling as well. It's like a side that usually will come with that.
15:11And, um, the best one that I've ever had was actually in Nusa Pineda.
15:17When she had chopped coconut in with it as well. And it was just...
15:21And now I'm obsessed with it and I think about it all the time.
15:29How long have you been getting that?
15:30I had no idea about it.
15:32You didn't tell me to mention it.
15:34I think, I think you've just forgotten. It's been a long time.
15:55Okay, I am on my way to go get a big fat massage.
15:59Because that travel absolutely destroyed my back, my shoulders, everything.
16:06I was in a middle seat for most of it.
16:08Holding Lila and her sleeping on top of me.
16:11Um, not ideal.
16:14Really, really not ideal.
16:16I was pretty much awake for the entire, the entire time.
16:20Um, and I'll be honest, I had, like, super bad anxiety before the, before the trip.
16:30Because I was remembering how hard it was when we came over from Thailand over to Canada.
16:36How hard that was for me.
16:39Um, and Lila wasn't even walking yet.
16:43So, I was super nervous.
16:45And I've had a lot of you guys reach out to me and message, like, for advice on, you know,
16:50like,
16:50do you want to travel with your one-year-old and advice on, like, how to do it and stuff.
16:55And I wish I could give, like, general advice to make it easier or things that would help.
17:01Things that helped me was basically just giving my full attention to her the entire time.
17:07I, I didn't watch, like, any movies myself.
17:11I didn't, uh, like, I had downloaded, like, a bunch of books to read.
17:15But, like, she just needed my full attention the whole time.
17:19Like, if ever I was trying to, like, divert my attention to something else, that's when
17:24she started, like, acting out.
17:27So, if I can give any advice for that would just be to give your full attention the entire time.
17:33It's boring and not fun at all.
17:36But I think, at the end of the day, it made me a better mother.
17:41Definitely.
17:44And, um, it's good to do hard things.
17:48I think, like, it's always good to do hard things.
17:51And it was really hard.
17:53It was not easy.
17:54That travel day really tested me.
17:56Um, the entire time I was, like, counting down the hours for when it was going to be over.
18:02But, uh, I got through it.
18:04And, um, hello.
18:08Hi.
18:10But I, I got through it.
18:12And Lloyd and I, before the travel day started, also just said to each other, like, we're a team in
18:20this.
18:20It's me and you, basically, not against Lila, but kind of, um, and to just remember, like, when it gets
18:31difficult, like, keep handing each other off, like, handing her off to each other.
18:35Little snacks helped a lot.
18:37So, we had, like, popcorn was a really helpful one.
18:41Because you can just, like, keep handing little bits and pieces to her and, like, little rice crackers and stuff.
18:49Um, that kind of helped food was just, yeah, the game changer.
18:54And then, taking turns for eating meals.
18:58Actually, on one of the airlines, on, on one of the flights, they were kind enough to give me my
19:05meal first and have Lloyd hold Lila.
19:10So, I could eat my meal and she wouldn't be, like, grabbing at both of them.
19:15And, um, that was really nice.
19:17But they didn't do that on all the flights.
19:18So, uh, while Lloyd was eating for the other ones, I would get up and I would take Lila, like,
19:25near the bathrooms and bounce her.
19:27And that helped.
19:29Yeah.
19:29Anyway, if you're thinking of traveling with your one-year-old, it's not easy.
19:33And I wouldn't say that the plane rides themselves are fun.
19:42But totally worth it.
19:44So, highly recommend it.
19:46We're really happy that we're here now.
19:48But I'm going to get this massage because I feel like my back is...
19:55I've turned into, like, a prawn a little bit.
19:58Like, I'm fully, like, crunched over.
20:01So, that's got to happen.
20:02Anyway, got through it.
20:05Excited to be in Bali.
