We are getting ready for Geisha on the Explorer sailing March 28. Have a super group of people so really looking forward to this cruise and I always love Japan. Last time we were in Japan the cherry blossoms were in bloom and they are beautiful. Lets hope they are in full bloom this year also.

Doing some things different on this trip!

We are also going in for the Regent 3 days pre tour, and lots of people in the group are doing that also. All at the same hotel. Been to Tokyo on a ship but always straight to or from the airport. So really looking forward to actually seeing Tokyo.

Ken snagged some first class Singapore Air tickets with miles a long time ago from LAX to TOKYO so we are very excited about enjoying that experience.

Shipping one large bag with Luggage Free. We have to collect our bags in LAX and then recheck in another terminal. I do not mind flying at all but dragging bags around airports is something I have to come to avoid when possible. If this all goes well we may do it more often. The paperwork was pretty easy. Traveling with one carry on and a small checked bag for all the toiletries that we cannot carry on and are not allowed in the Luggage Free bag either.

Will post pictures along the way of course.
