My niece, Laura Brooke Robson, launches her fourth book, Love Is An Algorithm. We would have been at her book launch had we been in New York.

The Carmodys visit Tokyo, Japan during the peak of Cherry Blossom season. This wasn’t the original plan as Bill Carmody explains, but we’re so happy we’re here.

April Fools Day falls on the first Wednesday of the month. This is when we have our Carmody Zoom call and have for the past 6 years starting with the Covid-19 pandemic.

Back to Tokyo, Japan. This time Elena, Violet and Bill Carmody are joined by son and brother Will Carmody. And rather than staying in a tiny hotel, we opted to live an hour outside of Tokyo in Shiroi, Japan for a truly baller home life experience.

Flying for 6 hours on a plane, then check out Bugonia if you haven’t already watched it. This may not be Emma Stone’s best movie, but it certainly was my favorite — even more than La La Land. I like more action and intensity vs romance and dancing.

Final thoughts on Hanoi, Vietnam the second time around as the Carmodys pack up and get ready to travel to Tokyo tomorrow.

Bill Carmody introduces Ha Long Bay, Vietnam to wife Elena, son Will and daughter Violet. This includes a cruise, cave exploration, hike and beach swim. We also learned about cultured pearls.

Eating our way through Hanoi, Vietnam is one of our favorite culinary adventures. Luk Lak is one of many incredible places to eat here and our family loves trying out all the new food choices.

Ninh Binh, Vietnam is one of my favorite day trips and today I get to share it with my family and Duc, my Hanoi friend I met here last year. I can’t replicate my experience, but I can offer all the same elements.

Bill Carmody shows Elena, Violet, and Will some of the local sights in Hanoi, Vietnam. This is day one of a seven-day adventure. Lots of fun to be had together.

Farewell Phuket! Elena, Will, Violet and Bill Carmody enjoyed our time together in Thailand. Beautiful. Relaxing. Amazing family time together.

Summarizing our time in Phuket, Thailand this second time around, it’s a lot of cats, sunrises, pools and beaches. Sun, fun and relaxing with the family.

Elena really enjoys discovering clown fish hanging out here on the reefs of Phuket, Thailand. Will, Violet and Bill Carmody also enjoyed scuba diving again with Aloha divers. Thank you, Gunter and Mona!

Another aquarium? Indeed. It’s something that our whole family can enjoy together and every one we’ve visited has been different from the previous ones.

Nai Harn beach in Phuket, Thailand is wonderful for many things, but sunrises aren’t one of them. Elena and Bill Carmody ventured over for long walks on the sand and an incredible breakfast at Rock Salt Cafe.

When traveling the world for a year, it’s easy to miss your pet(s). Thankfully, there are cat cafes all over the world where Elena, Will, Violet and Bill Carmody can get some pets from borrowed cats abroad.

The Carmodys return to Andamanda, Phuket, this time with Will Carmody. Yes, this is a repeat of an epic day together, only this time we add our son, Will, along with Elena, Violet and Bill Carmody. Splash!

For the last several days, Elena and Bill Carmody have got up at 5:30am to go for an early morning walk in Phuket, Thailand and greet the sun as it rises.

Since our son Will missed the Thailand temple tour back in November, Elena and I took him to see one of the “must see” temples near where we’re staying.
