It’s been about six weeks since we returned from our South America journey to Brazil and Argentina and like any good trip it made us eager to travel again. We were fortunate enough to have another opportunity with Jenn having a work trip to Tokyo. When we found out about it we knew wanted to take advantage and build a trip around it and that’s exactly what we did. Jenn left for Tokyo on Saturday, June 3rd on Air Canada leaving from Laguardia, making a quick stop in Toronto before taking the nearly 14-hour flight to Tokyo. She arrived in on Sunday afternoon where she had room service and got ready for her week of meetings.

Grand Adventure 2017 Day 7: Smoggy Foggy

It wasn't easy but we somehow groggily packed away the last couple of items and were off. Originally we had planned to just jump on the subway to Haneda International Airport, a short thirty minute subway ride. That was until we saw it didn't start running until 5:30 AM which would have made us miss our flight.
