Look out Tokyo, here we come!

Well, we touched down in Tokyo. It’s still a little hard to believe that I actually made it to this side of the world. When Denise and I went to Fiji for our honeymoon, you think the world is your oyster and you’ll get a chance to go to all these places. But life starts to happen and you realize there is just no way to get to all the places worth visiting. I’ve always wanted to go to the Far East and was so excited to get the invite from Darren, and just can’t believe that we made it.

Of course, once here, unlike when we landed in London after college, no matter how hard we stared at the signs, we were never going to be able to understand those symbols! Fortunately, we had a host with the most, showing up to make sure we didn’t get lost in the clean underbelly of Tokyo. Unlike Bangkok, if you get lost here, I think you may get a shower, shave, and a complete makeover before suddenly being magically delivered to whatever address they could find on your phone. You might even have more money in your wallet than when you landed!

And if you do have more money, it will be a good thing especially if you’d like some perfect strawberries - seriously, I’ve never seen so many perfect strawberries. The ones in the picture below will run you about $85!!! As for me, not ready to pull that rip cord just yet. For now, I’ll stick with my beer and Ramen - and this is not your Cup o Noodles or Top Ramen, trust me!Read more
