Christmas presents have been bought and family gatherings are all done. Now the only thing left to do is to go on vacation for the rest of the year. We’re going to Japan this time with Ida, Richard, Izzet and then meeting up with Victor and Hannah when we’re there. Having already gone before, this time I think our trip will involve a lot of eating and shopping.

Our plan is to fly into Narita and then immediately to Nagoya to take advantage of Japan Airlines’ free stopover. At Nagoya, we’re making an overnight trip to Takayama for a ryokan resort stay. Then we’re over to Tokyo for the rest of the trip.

No computers with us, but we have Androids. Hopefully there will be some wifi around for Tumblr, Facebooking, and getting Foursquare badges.
