A little behind in updates this time around. It’s Christmas next week! Time has really flown by in a wink. Asia almost seems like a lifetime ago, but I’m hoping my memory will hold out as I try to recall all the details of my trip. Starting off in Tokyo, we arrived at Narita in the afternoon on the 18th.
