Shelly, I'd love to meet in Tokyo. We will be at the Hyatt Regencxy Tokyo in Shinjuku. Likewise, this is our first time staying in Japan, and I expect we will be lost much of the time!

Let's find a way to get together.

Great. Hope we can connect. We would very much enjoy meeting you and Cheryl. Let's email once we get closer to our departure.

Kathie Feb 7th, 2013 03:56 PM

Sounds like a plan.

Haven't booked my flight yet but I'm targeting Nov.5-22.

Can't wait!

Just checking in now - we can only do Gonpachi on the 26th as we are leaving Tokyo the next day...

rhkkmk Feb 10th, 2013 01:06 PM

26th would work for us i think

kickmuri Feb 11th, 2013 08:24 AM

I'm gonna be there October 17-29! So excited.

26th looks good to us too and gives most a shot :)

Will see if we can get a res for around 6 or 7pm. I forget when they open but somehow remember waiting outside in the dark one night for everyone to arrive.....

They kick(or try to) you out after 2 1/2 hrs there but since Bob (rhkkmk) will be there I am sure he will get them to make an exception for us. If he can get the Thai managers to let us stay and watch the Kings Procession practice in a seating that we should have paid something like $49.00 each for and get it for free, then look out Japan General Managers, Boston Bob finally comes to Japan. Keep your comp certificates handy and those bottles of wine chilled, kudasai.

Aloha!

Ha ha and yes I agree that there will be an increase in suicide rate for Japanese hotel managers!

rhkkmk Feb 11th, 2013 07:35 PM

it also works around nana...
