We're there the 15th through the 26th. Seems like we overlap with smeagol, but none of the other Fodorites.

Nov 5 - Nov 20.

We will overlap with Bob and Karen, Filmwill and David, Don, Craig and HT and Linda, but we probably won't be in the same places in Japan as they are at the same time. I haven't seen smeagol's dates, but I think we overlap with them as well.

Carol,
You have email

Kathie, Its that age old math question:
If a shinkansen leaves Tokyo and Kyoto stations at the same time where will they meet for a GTG dinner?

Aloha!

You all have a great time! I'll probably be in Europe then.

May you stuff yourselves with rare tuna sashimi!

Yes, Carol, I'm going to celebrate "our " birthday in Japan this year!

It would be wonderful if we could meet for a GTG dinner, but I don't understand the Japan Rail system well enough to know how to figure it out! lol.

Not as much action on the Japan threads this morning compared with yesterday. Guess I have time now to do some chores.

OR: plan a trip. Nikko, Kiso Valley, and Tateyama-Kurobe are still on my to-do list.

We are considering Japan as well, but won't know our schedule until later. I'll be reading everyone else's threads with great interest!
