The amount of preparation that goes into planning an international trip is just insane.

Do I have covid? Nope, it says Anna Cakes can travel.

みんな陰性

And the rest of us too.

How many more hours? Oh, a long time, like 9 hours maybe?

アメリカだよ

[Life in Japan theme song.]

3年ぶりの家族での帰国です

We're in America now.

家族や友達に会えます

It's been over 3 years since the whole family was back in America.

コロナの規制がある中 再会は大きな喜びです

And we are super excited to see family and friends again.

この日を待ちわびてきました

Travel restrictions this year has made things much more complicated than normal, but that still can't take away the joy of being with loved ones again.

アメリカのセブンイレブン

We've been looking forward to this trip all year, and it is finally here.

- 全然違う - そうだね

Oh my goodness. 7-Eleven American style. What will it be like?

サンドイッチがある おにぎりは無いね

Oh, it's really different. It is really different, huh?

つかまって！

We've got sandwiches, no onigiris.

ポテトとナゲットの味は？ 日本と同じ？

You're holding on Becca.

少し違う？

How are the French fries and the nuggets here, compared to Japan? Do the nuggets taste like the ones in Japan?

チーズバーガーは？

Yeah? A little bit different? How about the cheeseburger?

- 美味しい！ - 日本と同じ？

So good. Is it? Is it like the one in Japan?

もっと美味しい

Better. Better.

スーツケースが来たよ

Can you see our suitcase going up? Can you see it? Yep.

来たよ

Oh, there it goes.

調子はどう？

At this point in the trip, how's it feel?

永遠に終わらない1日みたい

It feels, like it's never gonna end. Even though I only have 2 more hours and 10 minutes.

あと2時間10分の辛抱ね

It's the second time today we are taking off at sunset.

2回目の日没の離陸だね

It's been a very, very long Thursday. I'll tell you what!

So the test is coming up next week and I want to be ready so I'm taking a practice test.

来週の試験に備えて 模擬試験をします

And then work some more.

頑張ります

So, welcome back to America where you drive on the other side of the car.

アメリカは右側通行です

Soon as I get on this side of the car, there's a switch in my brain that flips and I'm ready for driving in the states.

左ハンドル車に乗ると アメリカ生活に自然と体が戻ります

So legally I can drive here in combination with my Japanese driver's license and an international driver's license.

今日は日本の免許証と国際免許証で運転します

So today I'm going to renew my Illinois driver's license.

今日はイリノイ州の免許証を更新します

Oh boy! I miss mowing lawns if you can believe it.

いいリアクションね

One of my first jobs growing was mowing lawns, just like my dad's lawn here

懐かしの芝刈りです！

and a bunch of the neighbors and they'd pay me when they go on vacation, I'd mow their lawn for them

初めての仕事は 芝刈りでした

It was a great way for a kid to earn some extra bucks.

留守の間に芝刈りをして お金をもらいました

Anna, what are you all ready for?
