The 2023 October trip to Japan has been officially booked! It took a while, a lot of money, and a lot of hard decisions, but the hotels and airfare are now officially booked.
The 9 day trip is going to take me (and my Father) through Tokyo, Nagoya, and Kyoto, stopping along the way to see some of the best sites each incredible city has to offer along the way.
This will be the first time returning to Japan since 2019 for myself. Back in 2019, my friends and I were able to enjoy Japan, right before everything changed and the world shut down. I recall watching the news before boarding the plane at Narita and the reports about some kind of mysterious virus beginning to spread (what a different time).
This will be the first time for my Dad to return to Japan in over 30-years, so it will be an incredible trip for him as well.
The planning is going to take a lot of work, there is a lot to do, but the hotels and airfare are officially booked. I feel that is one of the biggest things to get done, so everything else moving forward should be a lot easier (and a lot more fun).
The hard part is done and I am excited and motivated to get the rest of this incredible trip put together!
