A few weeks ago Steven asked me if I wanted to start a blog for us since both of his sibs have one but we decided that we weren't interesting enough. Most of our spare time is spent watching TV and working on various things around the house--nothing to write home about. We decided that we were better off saving our stories for when we actually saw you so that we would seem more fun and interesting than we actually are.
But as it turns out we are now interesting thanks to a recent purchase of flights to Japan!!! It was sort of a spur of the moment thing that we are going so soon. I have been wanting to go to Japan for years and years and made it a goal of mine to go this year since I am done paying off my student loans. I was planning on going in the early Fall. The day that I paid my loan off in full I started looking for flights and found an unbeatable price of $623 total round trip. The only catch is that you had to go in February or March...as in this month or next month.
We couldn't pass it up. We fly out on March 15th and return on March 29th. During that time we are planning to spend 3.5 days in Tokyo, 2.5 days with my good friend Jacob Rippens (who is also affectionately known as The Slice, pictured below) in his current residence in the mountains of Japan, 2 days in Kyoto, and 2 days in Hiroshima.
This is what I imagine our trip will be like:
