Turning Japanese

With all that's been going on I almost forgot we leave for Tokyo on Tuesday. I have to work but have planned to squeeze in a couple of days for a side trip to Kyoto. We were able to cash in some United miles (I need to use them before United goes belly-up) so Gretchen can come along. That's especially nice because she was supposed to have her own work trips to Japan for two years in a row and had to cancel both times, once because her dad was seriously ill and once because of other work commitments. I have a feeling it will be some time before we complain again about not having good Asian food...
