We pull back the curtain on the unseen work of family travel and share how we’re prepping for two weeks in Thailand with three kids, seven flights, and one last-minute work trip. Points, packing, meds, and mindset—all simplified into four clear buckets you can reuse.
• why Thailand matters to us and how points make it possible • building one master spreadsheet for flights, hotels and transfers • mapping seven flights and overnight layovers with backups • hotel lessons on connecting rooms and nonrefundable rates • Thailand medication rules, doctor letters and refills • digital arrival form timing and annual travel insurance • choosing eSIMs, Grab and simple phone setup • packing light for heat, shoes to prevent blisters, plan for laundry • setting kids’ expectations for a 17-hour flight • using food videos to build buy-in and reduce friction • embracing fewer bookings to protect rest and flexibility • what’s next on the podcast and how to join us
