Japan 2011

My friends have gotten the ball rolling on plans for visiting Japan next year. We had talked about it casually for several months now. I have actually been culling data and drawing up prospective schedules since we first began to talk about it. Its funny how this trip has snowballed into something fairly major.

It started when our friend from SoCal wanted to go back to Japan. Due to work and studies, she had not been able to find the time. Along with Tokyo, she suggested that we hit the Snow Festival in Sapporro. Coincidentally, this just happens to fall on my once every 5 year trip to the festival, previously 2001 and 2006. Every trip that we have taken to Japan has been communicated to friends and family. Envious, many have joined us on subsequent trips. Alot of those same people have expressed interest in this trip as well as a few new people who were picqued by our travelogues. From a group of 4, it has grown to possibly 15-20 persons.
