Thanks emd. We will be staying our first two nights in Tokyo at the Westin on points as I remembered your reviews. I'll be taking notes and will report back when we return.

Aloha!

emd - hehehehe - I have been reading this post since its inception - glad to see you here - I read in another post on the US Board ? that you will be in my area but never got around to emailing you , gomen....

I am hoping to visit Japan the second half of April. That seems to be a better time of year for me....
