After more than a year of planning, booking and anticipating, tomorrow we are heading to Japan for a month! We fly to Tokyo for 5 nights, then head to Kawaguchiko and Matsumoto for 2 days each. From there we head back to Tokyo to hop on the Coral Geographer for a 14 day cruise visiting Shimizu, Shingu, Osaka, Shodoshima, Hiroshima & Miyajima, Matsuyama, Moji, Tsushima, Sasebo, Fukue, Goto Islands including a day on Jeju Island, South Korea. After the cruise we will spend 2 nights in Fukuoka and 5 nights in Kyoto before heading home.
Most of those places are just names to me so far, but I am so looking forward to learning and experiencing a new country. My intention is to try to blog each day, or at least most days, so if you are keen to follow along, this is the place.
