Traveling to Japan With Teens: Our Family’s Big Trip

from Rollin' With The Dolans · host Tamekia and Patrick Dolan

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we share why our family decided to take a big step and travel to Japan with our kids. It started with a simple Christmas decision: fewer “things,” more experiences. Last year we made memories on a cruise and a visit to Florida, and this year the kids picked Japan as their top choice.We talk about how this trip came together, why we’re traveling during the school year, and how the costs can jump fast during peak summer travel. We also get into the mindset behind it all: making memories while our kids are still at home, learning how to be respectful of another culture, and preparing four teenagers for long-haul flights, airports, and customs.This is our “before we go” discussion, and we’ll be back with a Part 2 after the trip to share what went right, what went sideways, and what we’ll never forget.Don’t miss an episode—subscribe to our podcast on your favorite platform.  Find more at rollinwiththedolans.com or search #rollinwiththedolans on social media to join the conversation.
