We are finally leaving for Japan. Many thanks to all of you who have helped me over the months. My hubby was soooo shocked about the trip. Didn't have a clue. I will do my best to give a detailed trip report. Hopefully, You'll have my first notes in a couple days. Thanks again!

good luck, hope you have a great time.

sayonara!!!! Have a good time. Shinjuku will be a blast. Walk around the neighborhood. Its vibrant at night.

You are probably up after not sleeping much last night and full of coffee and on the way to the airport! Have a wonderful time. I hope you show your husband all the posts you did to plan for the trip. He's a fortunate fella. I could never have kept this to myself and not told my husband. I am planning the Tokyo portion of next spring's trip w/my daughter so looking forward to your insights. And I can hear the sound of the gashapon machines turning...

sayonara, have a good trip monkeyrhino!
