Samantha wrote: “Hey guys, it’s Japan time! This is my first post from our honeymoon in Japan!” and revealed how much fun they were having.
‘We flew first class! Champagne was flying around and they served us soup made from the tears of our children. We actually slept on the plane. It was like car seats, you can’t sleep at all, but when I woke up we had less than two hours to go before we landed and it felt great, the 13-hour time difference was worth it.”
Samantha previously revealed in her essay that she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the age of 25. She also stated that she met her husband in the following weeks.
‘Having cancer was the worst thing that could have happened to me, but oddly enough it was also the best. I have more love in my life than I could ever imagine, I have more love for myself and I feel like every day is a gift’, she wrote.
