THANK YOU - AND WELCOME HOME Dear Fiona and Stephen,
Thank you for sharing your trip through the blog. It has been wonderful to read about your adventures. Fiona your blogs are great to read (interesting and highly informative). Wishing you all the very best, Bruce
Tokyo contact? Hi Fiona and Stephen, I don't know whether you have the time (or the inclination?) to make contact with a very dear and special friend of ours who lives in Tokyo. This is her address : 2-2-45-605 Honcho Asaka-shi, Saitama 351-0011 She is Miyoko Hirahara and has visited us several times. I also took her on an 8 day trip around the South Island. I am afraid I do not have a phone number for her but her email address is miyoko_7869@yahoo.co.jp . She was last with us in May of last year. That would be a lovely surprise for her.
We'll have to see what happens this week. I'm waiting for a couple of my own friends to get back to me about when we can meet up, and we are also hoping to get away for a night or two, but time is starting to slip away from us! We'll see how we go.
Loving your blog Dear Fiona, Just thought that I would let you know that I am really enjoying your blog. Your trip sounds incredibly interesting, and I really appreciate your personal insights. Please give my best to Stephen as well. Bruce
Thank you Bruce. I often wonder if people really need or want all the detail, but to be honest, much of the writing is just so that I can remember the details and my feelings in the future - both to refer back to and because the act of writing helps cement it in the memory. So thank you - I appreciate the feedback, and I guess I'll just keep doing what I've been doing!
Fiona and Stephen are about to leave for a 3-week trip to Japan. It's not their first time there, and they're not planning to be too touristy. They will be staying a bit outside of Tokyo, so will use the chance to explore some lesser-known spots that visitors might not usually bother with - as well as checking out what has happened to Tokyo since the last time they were there together 30-odd years ago!... full info
