Day 18 – Don't Expect Much, I'm Sick!

As title suggests, today was a very slow day for us. We didn’t even break 10,000 steps!  Drew and myself went to bed last night feeling quite ordinary, so decided to give todays activities a miss. To be honest I’m not really sure what was originally planned for today, but I knew I wanted a […]

Day 16 & 17 – Disney Land and Sea

Yesterday started like most busy days have on this trip; an early alarm, a rushed breakfast, cold weather and a walk to the train station. It was officially Disney day! Amy being Amy was on a mission, and was waiting for no one, so when Lobada was a little late down stairs, he was almost […]

Day 15 – SUMOS!

The majority of our crew stayed up like the party animals we’re not last night, so our morning was much less crowded than usual. Chris, Sarma, Tim, Drew and myself went off to Tokyo tower this for beautiful views in the morning. We met downstairs at 10 and headed off to Shinjuku station right near […]

Day 14 – No More! Too Many Shops! Too Much!

Today didn’t start exactly how we expected. We slept in today, but this time we chose to. Our alarm went off at 8, but we woke up feeling quite gross, so just went back to sleep. The plan had been to go to Nakano Broadway in the morning, and Akihabara in the afternoon, but we […]

Day 13 – Shopping Day

So much shopping today! Well, that is once we all got ready… We had planned on meeting down in the lobby at 10, but 3 of the 6 pairs either slept through their alarms or, like us, forgot to set an alarm all together. The sleep in was divine though. So once we all got […]

Day 12 – Travel Day 3 – Hakone to Tokyo

18,740 steps, 14.89 km walked, 40 floors climbed, 4 layers of clothing, 1 windy hair monster, 2 more dogs in shirts and a LOT of different modes of transportation.

Day 11 – Travel Day 2, The Ryokan

Today was finally a day of relaxation! I mean it was a travel day, so there was obviously travel involved, but there were no massive walks, no mountains to climb, no scary adventures to be had. Nevertheless, I am still tired. I somehow don’t think that feeling is going away any time soon. So today […]

Day 9 & 10 – Universal Hiroshima

So, evidently, no entry yesterday. We practically haven’t had any down time since we’ve been here and it has finally caught up with me. I was gone the second my head hit the pillow last night… and honestly I’m fighting to sit here and write this tonight! So yesterday we had our big Universal Studios […]

Day 8 – Your Princess is in Another Castle

Today so far, 13,713 steps, 10.05 km, 18 floors climbed, 2 layers of clothing, 2 pets in clothing and 7 kitties! Himeji Castle today! We started a little later than we probably should have, but we were up and out by about 10 this morning. We seemed to all be a little crabby this morning, […]

Day 7 – Castles, Pokemans and Sunsets

20,116 steps, 14.24km, 13 floors climbed, 2 layers of clothing, 7 french bulldogs, 2 “doge’s” and countless pets in clothes. Today was going to be a semi quiet day – until Tim suggested that we visit the Osaka Castle before heading to the aquarium… I can’t complain though, we got to see some magical things […]
