Netflix and … Fly (March 12, 2026)

Fly from Nadi, Fiji to Phuket, Thailand takes about 17 hours. The first 5 hours take us to Sydney where we have a 3 hour break to change planes, hang at the airport, and then fly 9 hours from Sydney to Phuket. Oh, and there’s a 5 hour time change on top of all that so when we land at 8pm local time, it will feel like 1am — well past my 10am lights out consistent bedtime.

While the smart thing to do is get some sleep (and I will do my best), I plan on binge watching season 2 of One Piece on Netflix and then see where that takes me.

Old movie poster for Season 1 of One Piece — Season 2 just dropped

While I was writing this, my son Will walked over to see what I was doing, saw I used the Season 1 movie poster and directed me to download Season 2. I mean, come on, right? Will is the mega fan in our household. I enjoy watching, but I’m worried Will is going to stay up all night to watch this show rather than getting a good night’s sleep and watch on the plane. Ah, to be 21 again. I understand completely! So, thanks to Will, here is the Season 2 poster:

If you haven’t watched it, it’s truly fun for the whole family. At least, Season 1 was. I can let you know about Season 2 after I complete my 17 hours of airplane / airport time. This show has definitely influenced Will and he brought Elena and I along for the ride on Netflix. Neither Elena nor I were up for the more than a thousand animation episodes Will has almost finished. 8 live action episodes per season (16 total as of today) is much more our speed.

Elena just finished the latest season of Bridgerton and was very happy about how this show wrapped up this season. And that’s good for me too, because: “Happy Wife = Happy Life.”

So, travel day today and lots of content downloaded on our devices to stream and enjoy. Tomorrow is a very special day for me and I’ll share why in full detail tomorrow.
