In this episode, Noriko shares both the preparation and highlights of her first trip of 2026, a one-week family vacation to Alicante, Spain.
She begins by describing her packing process four days before departure. To keep things simple, she and her husband decided to travel with just one large suitcase, although they had already filled part of it with gifts and souvenirs for family members and friends they planned to meet during the trip. Noriko also introduces her favorite backpack, a Muji bag she bought in Japan about ten years ago and has continued using ever since because of its practical design and storage space.
She talks about choosing clothes, preparing gifts for her niece and nephew, and selecting three books to bring along for the journey. Her excitement about the upcoming trip is clear throughout the discussion.
In the second half of the episode, Noriko reflects on her time in Alicante. She describes the city as a beautiful Mediterranean resort destination known for its beaches, seafood, and sunny climate. She especially enjoyed swimming in the sea, eating seafood paella and squid-ink paella, and drinking tinto de verano.
She also recommends day trips to Altea and Villajoyosa, two charming coastal towns with unique architecture, beautiful scenery, and local culture. Overall, the episode offers a personal and engaging travel experience while introducing listeners to the attractions of Alicante and the surrounding region.
