Japan/TransPacific Cruise Day 3 Tokyo “17,861 Steps, Oh My” or “Why is there a Down Escalator but not an Up Escalator?”

I woke up at 2:00 am and could not get back to sleep. I tried all of my tricks. At home I would get up and move around, but there is nowhere to do that here. I read for a while and try to sleep some more, but it is not happening. Rob wakes up and we give up on further sleep around 5:00. I could figure out what time this would be at home but that might be too hard. We have a tour of Tokyo today. I cannot remember if this is a bus tour with some walking or an all walking tour. Come on bus. We head down for breakfast, which is included with our room. I see Martha in the lobby when we are going past. She has just landed and she will be going on the tour with us. I am impressed with her stamina. The breakfast is an interesting mix of Asian and Western food. The scrambled eggs could have used another couple of minutes in the pan. I passed on the miso soup and I really do want to know who eats potato salad for breakfast. It is all good and since we did not eat dinner we are getting hungry....

Japan/TransPacific Cruise Day 2 Omaezaki, Japan “The Required Cat Photo” or “Mount Fuji is there Somewhere”

We have docked. We head up for our morning latte. With the drink package we get free, OK, not really free we paid for it, lattes every day. I have put address labels on the bottom of our mugs so in case we leave them somewhere they can get back to us. I also put on different labels so that we can tell ours apart. Mine does have a dent on the bottom from hitting a pool deck but we need to tell them apart. I certainly do not want any coffee taste getting into my chai latte. We are going to work out before we get our lattes. It is important to keep our conditioning up and you do have to burn off those extra calories. It is fairly crowded in there but we each get a bike and settle in. There is a yoga class going on. The guy teaching it has a German accent. I am used to people teaching yoga having a soft soothing voice. Imagine yoga being taught by Arnold. Yeah, that is what it sounds like. We get our lattes and back to the cabin. We do not have an excursion here but there are three place...

Japan/TransPacific Cruise Day 1 Embarkation Tokyo to Yokohama “Herding Cats” or “How Many Suitcases can Twenty-four People Have?”

I finally got a good night’s sleep. I woke up and thought that it had to be at least 8:00 am, it was 6:20. Nice to finally sleep well. I was not that hungry at breakfast but I knew that we were going to be going on the ship and I would get lunch there. In the room we are doing the last minute looking for items. I have moved everything to one end of the room and now we just have to stuff it all into suitcases and we are set. We have time before we need to meet so we have time to play a couple of games of cribbage. We are meet in the lobby at 10:45 for the bus to the cruise terminal. Luckily Seth overheard us talking about this and told us to bring our suitcases down to the sidewalk then wait in the lobby. I made one more trip to the ice machine for our water bottles. This is not easy because the water bottle is too tall to fit under the dispenser. I just cup my hand around it and aim it into the water bottle. Time to head down to the lobby. Oops, I went to the basement instead of the...
