We already have the vacation time scheduled so we're going to Chicago to visit my family instead.<br /><br />I'm really bummed, but the upside is that we put a lot aside thinking we'd be in ultra-expensive Tokyo, so we're going to be staying at a very nice hotel downtown and have reservations at some excellent restaurants.<br /><br />Hopefully tickets will again be on sale, so we can snap 'em up before they jump again.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07130575175687846742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-25215059153014946062012-09-23T06:10:45.878-07:002012-09-23T06:10:45.878-07:00@Alan: I read it based on your recommendation and ...@Alan: I read it based on your recommendation and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I love travelogues.<br /><br />Reading Pergerine Hodson's "Under a Sickle Moon" right now - he hoofs it through Afganistan.<br /><br />I know I've asked, but forgot - did you ever get around to reading "Roads to Sata"?Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07130575175687846742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-70349815687256871452012-09-22T07:59:51.855-07:002012-09-22T07:59:51.855-07:00@Alan: I want to write a book. @Alan: I want to write a book.
