I love that you always manage to make lemonade out of lemons 😊
As someone who was once stranded in an airport for 21hours I now always carry a full outfit change and toiletries in my carry on
How funny that you call it your carry on. You certainly mean your hand baggage 😂
Also if ur suitcase get lost in transit it good have a change in ur pull alongside
@@markr.h.2574 carry-on is the term used in the US :)
@@markr.h.2574no hand luggage and carrying on are different. Hand luggage is like a hand bag (purse to Americans) or Fanny pack (bum bag) and must be able to fit under the seat in front of you. People use this to put their passports, boarding passes, tissues etc. in. Carry on must be 10kg or less and fits into the over head. People use this for things like spare clothes, shoes, toiletries etc. If the over head is too full you may be asked for this piece of luggage to go in the hold. 😊
I thought Stephanie said that her flight to China from Japan was delayed, and that in turn would make her miss the connecting flight to France. How is that in her control? Lol 😂
It’s not, that’s why the airline is paying for her hotel in china
Spring cleaning is the best therapy.
The kitchen looks nicer without the curtains. Bonus is they won't collect all the kitchen grease
...or just clean them more often!
In australia we don't put flour in our burgers but bread crumbs instead.
Well done for coping Steph. There must have been moments of true disappointment but thank goodness for snacks and tea lol🤗
…. that’s why I keep coming back Stephanie - my memoirs are entitled ‘Keep Your Sunny Side Up’ too! 💖💖
Stephanie, I admire you so much I would be flipping out and you have remained calm and upbeat. Hope you can get some rest this evening so you can be perky when you get home. Lots of love to you.❤
Stephanie always looks on the bright side!
Voyager exige une grande capacité d'adaptation, ce que vous possédez de toute évidence 😊 bon retour en France!
❤ Ah! I hate when flights are missed. You handked it beautifully
Flights are messed up all over the world!
yes delays happen all over the world everyday, & they can always cause problems with any connections needing to be made at the other end
Agree! In France and Europe, we seldom see a flight on time at the end of the day. Planes often arrive late and schedules are delayed. When we want an on time flight, we chose a morning departure
I swear she is such a seasoned traveler, that no matter what happens she just goes with it. Stephanie lets a lot roll of her back.❤
You make even a rainy day an adventure of fun and suffer joyfully when things don't go as planned. It's lovely that you share the reality of travel. I really enjoy your vlogs, Stephanie!
You gotta roll with it. As someone who worked for an airline for 25 years and have flown standby all over the place. You gotta enjoy the travel adventures that life brings you.
Poor Stephanie! What a day!
The second you mention getting Philip an umbrella I thought “oh goodness I hope she knows Japanese umbrellas are not normal umbrellas and are super expensive!” 😂 In learned the hard way too. 😂 But I will say mine is a folding Japanese umbrella it weighs NOTHING and it has traveled the world with me in every condition possible for 22 years without ever sticking or breaking. They are the best umbrellas you will ever buy. ❤
Interesting to know
That's a very well made umbrella.
Everything is Super Mega expensive in Japan
@@boessheila50 it's not. Depends where you shop. Steph went to a very fancy shop. You can buy cheaper umbrellas 😂
You are making the best of a frustrating situation. I hope the other legs of your journey home are smooth sailing!
Just make the best of it! It's an adventure!
Safe travels Stephanie.
I had a thing like that happen coming back from USA first the plane was diverted to Houston and they told me I could sort out my ongoing travel (train tix voided by the delay) when I got to London. When I got to London I was told I should have dealt with it in Houston and when I told them what I had been told the United Airlines rep at London *literally* called me a liar to my face- after a long distressing argument they finally gave me a travel voucher that would get me home so long as I went via the underground to Woking (multiple changes, many stairs, with my 2 heavy suitcases (I had been a month in LA) instead of the Heathrow/Woking bus which didnt accept the voucher. The roughest journey of my life getting through the Underground that day, and couldnt get a seat on the Woking to Southampton train either, such an insane ordeal, Ive never been anywhere since. That was 12 years ago now
At least it looks like a very nice hotel!!
Such judgemental comments about the missed flight before the facts were revealed. I admire Stephanie's thick skin. I could never vlog my life.
All those people making negative comments do not travel except from their basement to the kitchen. It's becoming more common for flight delays, frustrating.
I know. It’s bloody awful
Most of them commented prior to the premiere. Grace is deserved both ways, please.
Talking about others being judgmental and then doing the same. 😉😂
Are you offended, @@jimmyconnolly3461?
Glad you checked curtains in kitchen.
Connections are a nightmare on flights..especially when you havecsuch a long journey ahead..get home safe tyey qill all be so happy to see you ❤
All will go well Stephanie.. Safe travels ❤
Awe Stephanie, I’m so sorry for your troubles . Your very calm and sensible . I hope the rest of your trip home goes smoothly . Safe travels 🌸
Thank goodness you are ok!!! Hoping you enjoy your tea and some rest after a stressful day
I love that the ladies have given a deep clean to the kitchen!
As we say in German: Wenn einer eine Reise tut, kann er was erleben. 🤳 You handle this unexpected shock/incident/adventure very graciously and with sovereign dignity! ☺ 🥱 Wish you a very deep sleep. 😘
Love your positive attitude❤ Safe travels
Don’t smush the burgers! You lose the moisture!
you have nerves of steel😳
Good luck Steph! Enjoy your 1 day in China. You are making the best out of a very annoying situation. Definitely pack extra clothes and toiletries on your carry on next time. It's better to be prepared for unexpected situations.
so glad they gave you a hotel room so have fun exploring and having a bite to eat and a good cocktail yum 🍹🥩🥝🥒🥬
Stephanie, dear heart you are such a trooper! God bless. Stay safe. Saint Joseph, get Stephanie safely home!
I’m sorry that happened to you! I do hope you have safe travels and get home safely. I’m looking forward to your shopping tomorrow. 😃
Fingers crossed for you.
Positive as always! That's why I LOVE Chateau Diaries!! Thank you, as always, Bindi, love from Oz!🥰🐝🐝🌼🌻☀️
My parents had a similar delay flying UK to Japan a few years ago. They were put up into a VERY nice hotel in Dubai at no charge, and after they returned to the UK, they were refunded 85% of their travel costs. My parents were very happy!!!
Stephanie if I had been in your place I surely would have panicked and cried..but you are a Braveheart and so positive minded..❤❤❤you are an inspiration to me..❤❤❤safe journey dear..
Stephanie, excellent frame of mind for missing your plane, which was not your fault!!!
You are such a positive person.. Can't wait for our unexpected day in China.
I adore Chinese antiques, porcelain or china ...and old Chinese furniture and tables/consoles, etc. Maybe Stephanie can find a warehouse of antiques.
What a lovely spring clean. You just have to go with it when your travel plans change and it’s not in your control, zen.
Safe travels Stephanie. The kitchen windows look better without the curtains.
Marie is transforming into a Canadian with that "ey" 😂😂 On the other hand, poor Stephanie 🫠🥺
Safe travels home Stephanie.
Ohh goodness Stephanie! I hope everything works out. I’ve found the airlines pretty good to put you on the next flight praying there’s a spot…
I laughed when you said about your flight being cancelled. Sorry. Been there done that. I seems that whenever I travel things unexpected always happen but it always works out, eventually. Have a good time.
Stephanie will be fine. Travelling all over the world as an independent single woman, way before she met Philip. It will do her good. Happy travels Stephanie xx
The food in Guang Zhou is amazing!
Love your glass half-full attitude and making the best out of a bad situation!
Be safe Stephanie, we will be watching for you tomorrow night! I can only imagine the global alarm if you fail to post a video….is this globe trotting run amok?
Do return safely, Stephanie!
I wish I had the energy to make my own hamburger buns when we have hamburgers, I am so jealous I would like Marie to come live with me in Vegas please, I said please.😅
Wrinkle free travel clothes are worth their weight in gold!
Stephanie, you have to be one of the most optimistic persons I’ve ever met. Looking forward to seeing Tokyo tomorrow. I’m glad that you are safe and sound and snugged in. How is it? You look so good when you’re so tired sending love from LIZ in California💜🤟🏻💕😎🇺🇸
Amazing that you vlogged all this! Your fortitude is remarkable and inspiring ❣️👏☺️
It truly is. I don’t know how she does it.
OMG, you are just like me. I barely missed my nonstop from CDG to SF and mistakenly got on the NEXT flight, and it took me to Chicago, and there were a thousand people standing in line in customs before me. I literally dumped the rental car into a garage and found the desk and they went to find the car, so that was helpful. I should have taken a taxi back to the gallery and had a nice Parisienne afternoon on my terrace (Suite with a HUGE tub which after all these years I fill up very slowly super hot with bubble bath, salts, everything until I am ready at the end of the night keeping is HOT HOT HOT), and then take a taxi back to the correct terminal to get on the nonstop. I LOVED the Kyoto patreon update. I hope you bought yourself and Phillip gorgeous Kimonos. The umbrella is Very Nice, and I still have one from Venice from 30 years ago which I love, but a great Kimono is so perfect to throw on over something if you are answering the door, or showing up for coffee or tea with guests, and is always a show stopper. Lots of xoxo from California! Cheers!
You are the most positive person in the world! Love your attitude! I wish I were more like you!
you fake it till you make it, you can change your mindset
I agree, Stephanie you have the best attitude to life. Love watching your adventures and daily life at Lalande , all the way from Australia 💕
Safe travels the rest of the way to Home Sweet Home!!
Stay safe! You obviously found internet… enjoy your stay and be safe!
You've got to admire Stephanie's resilience. I'd be in a panic and pretty angry that those delays caused me to miss my flight. But no, not Stephanie. These things don't faze her.
We only see what she wants us to see. It’s the art of editing.
Great attitude when travel doesn't go to plan. We'll done!
Best attitude ever, my dear! I had a seven hour unexpected layover once. And, at the time, I had a broken foot, was in a cast and on crutches. My attitude sucked.
Get better soon.
Being positive is the best in this situation, safe flight
Well, these are things you have to expect while traveling. Sounds like you are making the best of it. Can’t wait to see tomorrows vlog. Regarding the curtains If there is enough fabric you could fashion them in to a roller shade or another style and still keep the same fabric.
Oh you poor thing!!! Sorry for the delays and troubles.
Oh, long travels, then delays. I’ve been there. Remember being stranded in the Denver or Detroit airport til 4 in the morning. However, at about 9pm I bought Tima Feys book, “Bossy Pants” (this happened about ten years ago) and sat there laughing out loud all night long. Thank you, Tina! You did it again! 😆 I feel for you, Stephanie. That’s really hard, but in true Brit fashion you’ve kept your stiff upper lip! Very proud of you for rolling with the punches! I’m sure you’ll have a long Rip Van Winkle sleep when you get home. 🏡
So very sorry you were delayed in returning home Stef. But you must admit that you had a fantastic time in Tokyo
❤ fabulous outlook China will be amazing I'm sure looking forward to seeing a little. Stay safe ❤
I lived in Guangzhou for 20 years. It’s a great city. I wish I could connect you with my friends there if you end up truly stuck.
You're in my prayers...Travel mercies! 🙏
Curtains for kitchen…noooo. I did once ! Get Hidden blinds, or blinds that hold out the cold or heat
I’ve watched these videos twice this week and I appreciate you have shared so much . Prayers for fair winds and following seas today as you try to get home Sweetie 😘
And all will be well, and all will be well, and all will be well. 🤗❤️🌈🙏🕊️
Remember travel is hard these days and never sweat the small stuff.
I have travelled a fair bit in my life and my opinion that the actual process of getting to one’s destination I quite frankly … hell. It seems to get more complicated with time. If I were Stephanie, I would be ripping my hair out with stress. I admire her ability to remain calm in the face of the ultimate travel nightmare!
Exactly. This is what I find so inspiring about Stephanie, Lalande, and this channel. Hiccups are going to happen and plans get derailed. But Stephanie (and Philip) just roll up their sleeves and deal with things. Carry On, as they say! They have more patience and tenacity than me. ❤
@@therealtartuffe Ditto!
Hope you got Dim Sum and tea. ❤
Oh Stephanie, I feel so bad for you. I have been there, and waiting to get back to dear Philip and Lancelot must be so hard. But you are the most positive person ever! We admire that about you so much! Thank you for bringing us along on your trip too, you really have a beautiful life. Praying for your safe return 🙏 Raven♥️🙏♥️
I hope I have your grace and attitude should I ever find myself in similar circumstances. 🤗🌈
flight delay of 5 hours ... recompensation ... of food and drinks for sure !
Chin up as always and a ball of sunshine even in times of unexpected chaos! Blessings to you and may the Angels keep you safe!
China should be interesting for a quick look-see!🍜
That's one way to 'capture' the tourist dollar 😂❤🇦🇺
Oh dear! Poor you but like you say you have to look at the positives ❤
I was feeling sympathy for you as I once spent many long hours in Guangzou airport and it was FREEZING! Thank you for sharing your travels and including the downs as well as the ups. I know you only show edited highlights but I love that you are honest and so resilient
You are such a bright and positive person. You have taken every obstacle in stride. I've been in that travel situation and I was not so sunny believe me. You are an example of making macha out of moss! ❤
Oh my goodness that would be my worse nightmare. I'm generally well organised & vg communicator, well travelled. However that would completely throw me & I'd be in a mega panic !! Amazed you take it all in your stride. Well done Uhoo.
You have the best attitude Stephanie!
Hoping all goes well ❤
Hope you get home safely soon, Stephanie! Thank you for sharing your wonderful experiences in Japan, the videos have been fantastic. And I love the banter in the Lalande kitchen! 😁
So sorry for your ordeal, Stephanie ❤😢
There is always a silver lining to be found
Those umbrellas are a work of art!
Oh my goodness Steph, hope you got some much needed rest and that the next leg of your journey works out so you are able to reunite with your loved ones. I really appreciate your positive attitude when you come across extenuating circumstances. ❤
Your positivity is amazing. Enjoy your little China adventure. 🥟 🍵 🤩
There is NOT one flight back to the US I haven't missed, except one from Frankfurt after a rescheduled flight and an month in Europe when I visited you at Lalande. I don't know what is is, but I ALWAYS MISS THE FLIGHT BACK! I feel your pain! Once when I was traveling back from Mumbai I was stuck ILL on a plane after horrible food poisoning in India after visiting a friend who was playing the Last Viceroy of India, with layovers in Bangkok and Seoul where I was too sick to disembark for the layovers. Thanks to my good friend who made sure I made it home safe and sound. Good luck that your extended travels go perfectly for you. Travel safe and A' demain!
Yaay a toothbrush! And a creaseless travel dress! Hopefully you had a safe unexpected minibreak and no further flight delays!
