  • What is a Bucket List? Flamingos, Japan and Pokemon Planes
    Feb 18 2026

    This week we’re talking about bucket list trips — what they are, why they matter, and what’s actually on ours.

    We’re officially just two downloads away from 200 🎉 and we may or may not be keeping our spring break location a secret (we’re flying into Atlanta… but that’s all you’re getting for now).

    From Japan dreams and Pokémon-themed airplanes to jungle hotel fantasies with flamingos and hydrangeas, this episode is full of imagination, goals, and figuring out how to actually make dream trips happen.

    We talk about:

    • What a bucket list really is (and why Mom feels bad she doesn’t have one 😅)
    • Why having travel goals helps you work toward something exciting
    • Japan, Kyoto, Italy, and Pokémon Air ✈️
    • How “point hacking” might get us there
    • Small, doable adventures like backyard camping and fishing trips
    • What we’d do with $100
    • A Truth or Trash game featuring Japan, Paris, and the Maldives

    Plus:
    Otis' "would you rather" gets weird.)

    Parents: It doesn’t have to be expensive to count.
    Kids: Dream big. Then make a plan.

    And as always — don’t forget to pack the kids.
