Where abouts in Japan? Me and some freinds went there for a week a couple years ago and had a blast!
Paul Tibbets told me the same thing one time.
We're excited about it, though Clare and I are going to have to get our behinds in shape for all the walking we're going to be doing. Also, I hear it's pretty warm there in late July, so we'll have to be ready for that as well. Our friends were able to find a 4 BR, 2000 sf house to rent. They were thrilled because it's larger than what they have now, and they'll have an extra room for guests, like us!
