Wonderful to hear that! Tokyo will be my 4th and maybe my last- no idea if I'll try for China anytime soon, and by the time I do, perhaps my Disney fever will wan. I wasn't crazy about it as a kid, but I love going solo.

So excited- exactly a month til Japan! Do they have any favorite places in Kyoto so far?

I will ask marvelous - they went to a bamboo forrest yesterday that looked lovely from the photos - she gets home Monday night so I will be sure to get her input and find out! I think they did a cooking class (or are going to)...

They have loved it so far!
