Baby's first holiday - Japan

Eight days after baby Alex was born I booked his first trip overseas - to Japan with Jetstar - for when he's 4 months old. It was a cheap deal, I couldn't help myself!

I asked Alex today whether he wanted to fly on a jet. He vocalised "yeah". Well, that's what it sounded like to me.

It's so nice to be back thinking about travel plans. It's almost as if life is going back to normal! Despite our six trips to Japan, there is so much left to see. I was thinking of going back south to Kyushu, but we also haven't seen Hokkaido either. The cold during March is a bit of turn off, but then I saw the sleeper train Cassiopeia between Tokyo and Sapporo. The berths include split level accommodation! So tempting!

hi, i wonder if you end up travelling with your baby to Japan and would like to know how you went if you don't mind sharing your experience about travelling with young kids.

We did indeed travel to Japan and you can read about that trip . He had a short holiday in the south of NSW not long afterwards.

At 9 months we took him to Singapore and Malaysia, and this year to Shanghai, Hong Kong and back to Japan. I look forward to our next opportunity to travel with our now toddler.

If you want to know more beyond what I wrote above email allrong at my gmail account.
Hi! I love your photos of your trip. Here is some more info on living and traveling with a baby in Japan - hopefully you can use this on your next trip! http://tokyourbanbaby.blogspot.jp/
