Sayonnara, Japan...
Well, today was a shopping day, so no pictures. Sorry! Today we wandered the major shopping areas looking for various "omiyage" or gifts to take back home to friends and family, and then tried to figure out how to get it to fit in the suitcases without crushing everything. Ah well, we'll get it all packed away sooner or later. Tomorrow (Saturday) we will be checking out of the hotel, and be winging our way home overnight. We'll arrive in the US in the early afternoon of the same day! Talk about jet lag!
I think my favorite part is being able to bring people who have never been to Japan, and showing them around. To share the beauty of Japan, and to see the wonder and delight in their faces as they experience a very different culture is greatly satisfying and fun for me. There are so many more places that even I've never been, and many favorites that I will never grow tired of re-visiting. I hope you all enjoyed the blog of the trip, thank you for stopping by and visiting. I had a great time doing the blog, and sharing the photos and experiences with everyone. Perhaps next time you can join me on a trip and experience it firsthand.
The blog will continue, but obviously, it will be a tad more mundane for a while. Perhaps as I sort through the hundreds of photos I took, I'll find some more to post up for you all.

Thank you, Jason. Although I couldn't make it on this trip, your blog has redoubled my resolve to go next time. Leg trouble or no, I'm going!
It's been great seeing your beautiful photos, and the wonderful stories behind them.
