SaYo and Kanakolon no Cha~ shinagara katarou #17: Kanakolon's Transcontinental US Road Trip

The adventure began with my son's words.

During Memorial Day weekend, my son came home to visit, and his enthusiastic nudge, "Let's do it!", sparked the sudden decision to embark on a cross-country journey. What started as a plan to purchase a car he needed turned into an unexpected long-distance drive. I share the story of how we weighed the costs against flight tickets and ultimately set off in our new car.

Chasing the Samurai Blue.

During our trip, when we visited Atlanta, my son was desperate to go to a particular sporting event venue. We had to adjust our plans on the fly to catch a major tournament happening there. Furthermore, we discovered that Nashville, a stop along our route, was where the Japanese team had set up their training camp. It is fascinating how our family plans kept evolving one after another.

A chaotic family travel experience awaited us.

While moving with all our luggage, we faced struggles in finding hotels. Traveling with suitcases proved quite difficult, and we encountered unexpected accidents upon arrival at our destinations. The interactions we had at a certain spot remain a deeply memorable part of the trip. For more details on the hardships we faced on the road and the events that awaited us afterward, please be sure to listen to the full episode.
