Tray Tables and Time Zones
Twice a month Tray Tables and Time Zones brings you a realistic view of travel around the world with a no-holds barred approach. We will share stories from the road, discuss destinations, types of travel, how to travel and everything in between. Nothing is off limits. We celebrate the journey and all that is to be gained, all the while remembering that not every foray into travel is rainbows and sunshine and instead of glossing over the bad we embrace it as all part of the experience. So make sure your tray table is in its upright and locked position, set you watch to your destination's time zone and come along on this crazy journey of traveling the world.

Lost in Japan Part 3: From Tokyo's Buzz to Kyoto's Calm
Ever wondered how a simple train ride could redefine a family's travel experience? Our adventure from Tokyo's vibrant hustle and bustle to Kyoto's serene cultural landscape unfolds with the thrill of our first Shinkansen bullet train journey. We explore the fascinating world of Ekiben boxes, the delightful meal tradition that accompanies travelers on this iconic rail adventure. Experience the meticulous punctuality of Japanese trains, as we transition into Kyoto's enchanting tapestry of temples, pagodas, and peaceful parks, setting the stage for unforgettable memories.
As we settle into the charming Hotel Alza Kyoto, conveniently nestled near Sanjo Station and the Kamo River, the city's historic heart becomes our playground. Our early morning visit to Kiyomizu-dera offers breathtaking views and a chance to connect with Kyoto's rich cultural heritage before the crowds arrive. From tranquil shrine visits to the mesmerizing atmosphere of Gion under the glow of lanterns, our exploration of Kyoto is both a cultural immersion and a journey into tranquility.
The journey doesn't end there. A nostalgic day trip to Nara brings encounters with friendly bowing deer and a taste of creamy indulgence with Cremia ice cream. Back in Kyoto, our culinary adventure features standout dining at Genko Sanjo Hoten and the quaint Hanamakiya, offering a flavor-packed conclusion to our journey. We round off our Japan series with reflections on global travel's joys and challenges, inviting listeners to join our ongoing journey, share their stories, and connect with the beauty of exploring the world.
