Alright, very first post, on very first blog, and we're excited! The coundown has begun, 10 days, 1 hour and 20 minutes to go, and we are stoked! Japan here we come! We have been plotting events and tourist attractions over the past while on a map of Japan and have a boatload of things to do! The plan....roam....wherever we can, for as long as we can! Eat, sleep, live Japan to the absolute fullest! and I haven't a doubt in my mind - we can do it! We purchased our tickets on Wednesday July 9 - flights are as follows - leave TO - Pearson Airport at 1:20pm on Friday August 1st, arriving in Tokyo at 3:05pm on Saturday August 2. Time difference is 13 hours, so we loose a day, but no worries, we can make up for lost time! Return flight from Tokyo leaves at 7:00pm on Tuesday August 26th, stopping over in Vancouver on the 26th from 12pm-1:45pm, then arriving in TO August 26th at 9:10pm. By my calculations, that is only a 2h 10 min travel time - I WISH!! ; ) Well, here we go, by my estimation, the adventure of a lifetime!
