My ANA Adventure: Booking Mishaps and Snack Overload
The Plan: Osaka to Miyakojima and Back
So, I decided to take a quick 3-night, 4-day trip from Osaka to Miyakojima and back. I was super excited because Miyakojima has been on my bucket list forever—crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and that laid-back island vibe. But, of course, the first hurdle was figuring out how to book everything without losing my mind.
Day 1: The Miyakojima Dream
I started by booking the flight and hotel for Day 1. ANA’s website is pretty user-friendly, but I still managed to overthink it. I kept second-guessing myself: “Do I book the flight and hotel together? Or separately?” Turns out, you can do both! I opted for the combo deal because, well, I’m lazy and it seemed easier. Plus, I got a slight discount, which I immediately spent on snacks at the airport. (Pro tip: Don’t buy all the Kit Kats at once. You’ll regret it later.)
Day 2 & 3: Main Island Shenanigans
For Days 2 and 3, I needed to book hotels on the main island. This is where things got a little tricky. I realized I had to make separate bookings for these nights because ANA’s combo deals are usually for round-trip flights and one hotel stay. No biggie, though—I just went back to the website and booked two more hotels. I may have accidentally booked a room with a view of a parking lot instead of the ocean, but hey, it’s all part of the adventure, right?
The Return Flight: Almost Forgot!
Here’s where I almost messed up. I was so focused on the outbound flight and hotels that I nearly forgot to book the return flight to Osaka. Thankfully, I remembered at the last minute and snagged a seat. Crisis averted! But seriously, how do people plan multi-stop trips without forgetting something? I need your secrets.
Memorable Moments and Snack Regrets
One of the funniest moments was when I arrived at the airport way too early. Like, embarrassingly early. I had so much time that I ended up buying way too many snacks—again. I mean, who needs three bags of matcha-flavored Pocky? Apparently, I do. By the time I boarded the plane, my carry-on was basically a snack pantry.
Another highlight was the hotel staff in Miyakojima. They were so friendly and even gave me a map with all the best local food spots circled. I followed their advice and had the best taco rice of my life. (Yes, taco rice is a thing, and yes, it’s amazing.)
Reflections and Lessons Learned
Looking back, I realize I could’ve been more organized, but honestly, the little imperfections made the trip memorable. Arriving too early, overpacking snacks, and booking a parking lot view—it’s all part of the story. And isn’t that what travel is all about? Embracing the chaos and laughing at yourself along the way.
