It must be all that vodka in the woods... We've had two straight days of fog and fog horns, but the sun finally came out a couple hours ago and it's warming up.

We're closing in on the island of Hokkaido, Japan, as we speak and will dock in Hakodate in the morning where I plan to do the initial test of my yen conversion skills. Tonight we're having dinner in Latitudes to get in the "Asian" mood. Sayonara for now--we'll let you know how it goes in Japan.
