Well, the best laid plans.....
As you well know, Japan suffered a devastating series of disasters. Although part of my trip could have continued as planned, I decided it best to cancel and hope for a more stable situation sometime before my daughter finished school in May.
Despite huge protests from our daughter that all was normal and safe in the Kansai region, we felt the situation too fluid and the possiblities for increased danger too great. We informed her (on her 21st birthday no less) that we had purchased a return flight for her within days. Fortunately, her departure coincided with the beginning of her spring break and we permitted her to return after two weeks home. She missed one week of school but the teachers were quite accomodating and she suffered no ill effects academically.
I created a new itinerary for a trip beginning at the end of May. This would allow me to be in the audience for her completion ceremony and then we would travel together and then depart on the same day from the same location.
Adventuretime did indeed happen after all! I will share those adventures in upcoming posts!
