Day 1: Left the house at 5:30am to get to the airport. Got here too EARLY! LOL - we were not able to check in until 9:20am. Bre and I enjoyed some breakfast in the cafe while James and Jenn hung out waiting. Checking in now - getting ready to board the plane ... Cannot figure out how to upload photos YET! But we are excited. We have absolutely no idea what to expect - what we will see - what we will experience - but we are beyond excited. (OK - the 10.5 hour flight is not to exciting) - but knowing we are headed to see some amazing things.Read more

One of the tallest buildings in Tokyo with breathtaking views - I’m not a huge fan of heights - but doing my best to hang in there. Yesterday was a fantastic day with lots of shopping in Harajuku and Shibuya. Absolutely loved every minute. Breana and I finished the night at the hotel bar - shrink a bottle of Korbel, watching the NBA playoffs (replay) - Some major take aways here in Tokyo so far:
1. They don’t honk car horns! The streets are relatively quiet.
2. They are VERY POLITE! Everyone smiles and is genuinely nice to one another here!
3. There are no visible homeless or people begging for money! I have not seen 1 single person ask for a handout!
4. It feels extremely safe!!! Although I keep a close guard of my purse - there seems to be no report of crime and pick pocketing - it’s like the opposite! If you drop something , they will go out of their way to return it to you!

I’m understanding more and more why my brother fell in with this country❤️Read more

Temples

Today was a perfect day of site seeing! The weather was warm but not unbearable. First we took the bullet train into Kyoto - where we visited the Gold Temple. The views were absolutely breath taking - and the temple property was so well maintained! From there - we took the subway over to Fushimi Inari Temple. Wow, wow, wow is what I have to say about this temple! There were so many different shrines and passage ways to walk through it was truly remarkable. We walked about a quarter of the way through the area and pretty much got exhausted and turned around! Next time though we will be sure to walk the entire property.

After a long day of site seeing - we finished off with a wonderful dinner at the hotel. Truly a remarkable day today! Tomorrow we are headed into Hiroshima .. where we will see peace park. Excited for what the day will bringRead more

Day 7
Hiroshima
June 10, 2018 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Today was a very eye opening day - with our first stop in Hiroshima / Peace Park. We we able to walk the site where the Atomic Bomb went off on August 6, 1945. There is a center / museum that we walked through that was so somber. I had no idea the impact the the bomb Haden this city and the amount of lives lost. What an experience to share with my daughters. A memory we will her forever.

After Peace Park - we drove over to the ferry to Migiyashi Island. There was another temple there - that we were able to walk through and experience. Today Yuki’s Family joined us as they live in Hiroshima and her mom works on the island. It was truly a pleasure to enjoy the beautifulness - with them. On the island - there’s an abundance of deer that are so friendly ... and of course looking for food - they will eat any thing! I had so much fun with them !

After our site seeing day - we went to Yakinuki / Korean BBQ ... and ate and laughed the night away ! It really could not have been a more perfect day❣️Read more
