We have arrived safely and will make the Hibiya Park/Ginza area of Tokyo our home for the next week. We had an interesting conversation on our first day about how we would manage our time and I think the distinction we made is an important one. We plan to spend our time living in each place, not touring it. While we may take in some of the important sites, our pace will be slower with one or two activities and leaving ample time to wander, sit in parks, read and do homework. The blog will reflect this slower pace – and that will hopefully lead to an exchange of more interesting experiences than my packing list 🙂
Here is our current home/hotel and photos of the local park (Imperial Garden), local ramen restaurant (Ippudo), and local markets (Mitsukoshi and Tsukiji). So spoiled!
Davidson Big Trip 
Brings back memories. we are going to enjoy this around the world tour!
So has a Davidson Family karaoke outing been planned yet?
Karie – oke perhaps…no other takers yet!
I thought it all applicable and meaningful. The packing list in line with hard work, preparation and discipline. Then representations of your choices of which provide you with the precious presents to take in. Next, circle the same skills absorbing the presence and the balance thereof. Finally, all that can and will, a plethora of Love to forever feel.
Pictures of Tokyo,and the fond memories I have. Thank you to you all for taking me there!!
