Tokyo Autumn Trip: October 2017: Travel with Kids: The Preparation

Assalamualaikum,

I’m back! Yep..citer trip winter Kansai ngn budak2 pun tak buat lagi tp janji ada itinerary dh letak untuk references. 

So now nk citer last minit trip ke Tokyo on early October… penat..but fun… ktrg pegi early autmn…so sejuk ala2 aircond, tak perlu pack banyak mcm winter. 

Preparation tetap sama mcm trip Kansai. Before fly, ktrg finalize plan & apa perlu beli siap2..

So kali ni, before fly, ktrg beli: 

1. Flight tickets (obviously! hahaha) 

2. Accommodation (via Airbnb..murah! make sure location tu senang nak gerak ke mana2)

3. Pocket Wifi (Travel Recommend guna promo code: MITMPG, jimat! RM11 je sehari!)

4. Insurance (kali ni guna VIP AXA travel insurance(RM97.50 utk satu family seminggu)

5. Tokyo Disneyland (beli via KLOOK, ada sedikit penjimatan guna promo code VISA, jadiklah dari takde..)

6. Keisei Skyliner & Tokyo Subway Ticket 48H (ada promo combo for tourist - airport transfer & pass subway utk 24hours, 48hours & 72 hours, mcm ktrg, ktrg nk guna 2 hari je so amik 48hours. Naik Keisei tu mahal sebenarnya kalau takde combo promo ni sebab 36min je dari Narita Airport ke Tokyo City..so sgt jimat masa!)

7. Makanan! Kali ni makanan memang plan betol2..tak nak bawak berlebih cm last time..ahahha.. rancang menu anda & lagipun kalau ada budget lebih boleh makan kat luar guna Apps Halal Navi or Halal Gourmet memang senang..kalau nak seppp..masak bekal! duduk airbnb senang...dah siap dapur nak masak! 😅

8. Tukar yen! kami selalu tukar kat skyexchange, rate tak jauh beza dengan mid valley punya...

Ok, habis citer preparation…next kita citer pasal day 1..tunggguuu…
