Heading to Japan

Tomorrow I’ll be heading to Japan. I can’t wait! This will be the first time I’ve traveled to the eastern hemisphere, and aside from a cruise to Mexico, it will be my first time out of the country. Katie started a family and travel blog to chronicle the adventure at The Parkes Blog.

We’ll be staying in Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo, and some of the highlights of the trip will include…

• ryokan
• capsule hotel
• animal cafes
• so much sushi
• fish market
• temples
• Fuji-san!
• yoga
• matcha green tea
• Tokyo Giants
• cherry blossoms
• Akihabara, Tokyo (otaku district)
• arcades
• …and so much more!
