1 full month on the road

Last month had been extremely exhausting with the back to back travels, which is still coupled with my regular Sunday swim classes whenever I was back in SG over the weekend

28/4 to 7/5 in Australia for 703 + Family holiday
9/5 to 13/5 in China for work
16/5 to 21/5 in Japan for work
22/5 to 28/5 in Taiwan for holiday
4/6 to 5/6 in Malaysia for swim coaching

Even though the holidays were very much enjoyable, placing them back to back with work trips and coaching duties without any rest, is really tiring. Especially when the kids are getting more n more difficult to control.

The Taiwan trip, in particular, was the most draining trip.
Even though I had planned for hugely streamlined travel itinerary (by my standards), it was still too taxing for the entire family.
Future family trips should go at a much slower pace so that everyone will get to enjoy the holiday better.

Looking back at the last 12 months of travel, it turns out that Ryan has become a frequent flyer kid.
5 trips in the span of 12 months. Pretty awesome for a 3.5 year old boy.

True answers from Ryan when Dear asked these questions:

Dear: What is your favourite activity?
Ryan: Take aeroplane

Dear: What is Mummy's favourite activity?
Ryan: Take aeroplane with Ryan

Dear: What is Daddy's favourite activity?
Ryan: Take aeroplane with Ryan

I'm just glad that "playing with phone" and "working" did not pop up :)
