June 25 to July 1, 2022

We were originally supposed to begin our journey in Japan, but it wasn't open to tourists due to Covid, so we rearranged our entire trip. We had a layover in Los Angeles on our way to Paris, so we decided to extend it and spend a week there visiting my old stomping grounds (from 2002 to 2007) and going to Disneyland. I lived in both Playa del Rey and Santa Monica during that time. It was wonderful to be back in town, walking and eating our way through old memories.
