And just like that, after years of agonizing and seven months of not-really-planning and a couple weeks of dithering, it’s time to go to Japan. There will be updates and a travelogue eventually, but for the most part, it’s going to be us and a couple of iPhones and a country that for most of my life was shorthand for “the future”. Bullet trains and high tech and 24-hour Blade Runner neon. And then they too got overtaken by events.
It’ll be worth it, if nothing else for two weeks away from work and time to enjoy some downtime and check another country and continent off the list.
Safe travels to you both, and we will want every detail as we are starting to plan for next spring. I am so incredibly envious and can’t wait to see bajillions of pictures!
