Just to give you some idea what’s in store.
I’m still sorting through trip notes and photos and stuff, so here’s a rough outline of how my vacation went. (I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to blog things sequentially or just as they come to me. In case I get all random, this handy timeline will be helpful in keeping things from getting too confusing.)

Arrive back in TokyoAs I said, that’s just a rough outline. Each day had numerous goings-on (most of which aren’t mentioned here) that are worthy of their own posts. And as such, they’re going to get them. Just be patient.
This is going to take a while.
