I sent my Japan check in about a week ago.
As I thought of which trip to take, I ultimately settled on Japan. I had to overcome the sticker shock, but as I thought about it, it would be a pretty good deal. R&E know Japan well and would be great guides. If I went to Japan alone, I know I would be either confused or lost. I did survive Paris, though, but the Japanese language is something else entirely! So why not use R&E expertise to travel into a foreign land?
