Episode 37 : The Journey Is The Reward (dot) ORG : Rediscovering Japan with Nephew Bryan and Family

On episode 37, Micah and I talk about my trip back to Japan with my Nephew Bryan and his family. I hadn't been back to Japan in over 20 years so this most certainly was my opportunity to rediscover Japan! But first, Micah and I answer listener email... one of the best parts of the show. Listener Uli asked if I ever had a boarding pass with SSSS printed on it. (More information can be found here: https://onemileatatime.com/guides/ssss-boarding-pass/ ) We then talk about how a mutual friend knows a 777 Captain that I flew with. How fun is that? I also need to pass along some thanks to Listener Peter for sending me a vintage deck of United playing cards. They are greatly appreciated!!! Thank you so much!!! Listener Lu, wants to know about the aircraft we would like to have flown on but haven't. She also wants to know what '80s band did the popular remix of the song Istanbul not Constantinople. Of course Micah knows the answer... They Might Be Giants. And he wanted our listeners to watch some YouTube videos from the band. So here they are: _https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IqJXxHi6RwQ_ and _https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LsAiCs66l40_ . Micah and I then talk about the reunion trip to Japan. Sure, I was there to support nephew Bryan and his running of the Tokyo Marathon, but I was also there to rediscover Japan. Micah and I talk about some of the more interesting places I was able to visit... like the Tokyo SkyTree. I also want to give a huge shoutout to the flight crews for making this one of my best trips yet! You guys are the best!!! Thanks once again to all of our listeners and especially our international (Non-US) listeners. Please write in and let us know how you found the show and why you listen. We love hearing from you!!! Opening music is provided by the Madalitso Youth Choir as they sing their Welcome Song, recorded at the lobby of The Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia. We hope you enjoy the show!
