Today’s Activity – Shopping! I only have one thing to share about shopping in Japan: After experiencing the level of customer service I received in stores today, it will be very difficult to be satisfied shopping anywhere else again. Yes, it’s that excellent. Or maybe their customer service is average and it […]
Today is Wednesday. Oh, I was NOT ready to leave Tokyo or the Conrad Hilton this morning! I didn’t even get to enjoy the spa! Nevertheless, I packed up, had a wonderful breakfast overlooking the city and the bay, waved goodbye to my room and headed out. Next stop was the Shinagawa […]
The first thing I did when I woke up this morning was reach over and push the button that opened my drapes! Nice! I laid in bed and enjoyed the view of the harbor from my 30th floor vantage point! Ahhh. A girl could get used to this! Stan and I had a nice […]
Monday was a moving day. Moving day means I have to pack up all my stuff, schlep it, and transfer to a new hotel. I’m usually not ready to switch locations but I always look forward to seeing what’s next. I dislike the packing part. My stuff seems to expand and get heavier […]
I’ll start off by saying that 11+ hours on an airplane is a very long time – even in First Class! Our first travel day(s) started off at 4:00 AM. We had to be at LAX early for our first leg from Los Angeles to San Jose, California. I managed to get through security […]
As I write this, Stan and I are sitting in the airport lounge in San Jose, California awaiting our connecting flight to Tokyo, Japan! In a mere 11 hrs. / 5 min., my long-time desire to experience Asia will become a reality. How cool is that? For Stan, this trip is a repeat performance as he has […]
Recently, our church was studying a passage in Revelation. Our pastor was inviting us to experience the throne room of Heaven (as described by John) and familiarizing us with some of the protocol of Heaven. Later I went back and re-visited that section of scripture and meditated a little more deeply on the scene. One […]
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Proverbs 4:23 I have read this verse countless times before. Although I can’t remember specifically, I want to believe I have at least thought about its meaning at some point along the way. The truth is, I can’t remember. How is it […]
For the past month I have been in the enviable position of touring parts of Europe with my friend Stan. It was a wonderful trip and I will cherish the memories for many years to come. Every girl should be as blessed as I am to have a friend such as Stan! I must admit […]
In my last post I mentioned that we had just arrived in London. We were there Friday night through this morning (Monday, July 16th). Unfortunately, I had a debilitating migraine Saturday and Sunday and spent both days in my hotel room! It was no fun! Thankfully, Stan was able to go sight-seeing on his own […]
