Japan and Guam in November!!

Well dear readers, I know that it has been quite a while since I blogged about traveling (last trip was Italy in March 2015) but things have been a bit of a mess for a while. Well since things are looking up, it’s time to start traveling again!

Looks like a trip to Japan and Guam is happening!  I know, right????

Let the planning begin!


So I have some family members who are being stationed in Guam this spring. Conversations with them over the last 6 months or so resulted in me thinking that I could spend Thanksgiving with them as they will be so far away from family (and I love to travel over Thanksgiving)!

While thinking of this, I noticed that my airline of choice (Delta) stops in Tokyo in order to get to Guam. So…the rational and logical assumption is that if you have to change planes in Tokyo you might as well see Japan while you are at it! It is such a long trip to that side of the world and this December will be my 50th birthday. It’s my big trip!!

So other than booking the actual flight from BOS to NRT (Tokyo) I will still have much more planning to do. I will have to book a separate flight to Guam as I used points to pay for the BOS to NRT flight. But still….Japan and Guam!!!!!

Oh and the points thing? Yeah, here’s the breakdown:

Total in USD= $1200.
Total Delta points = 130,00. 
Michelle’s cost  $51.00.


Yes, you read that right. $51 to fly round trip from Boston to Tokyo!!!!
