Because of my friendship with Yoshiko – nurtured and sustained by frequent correspondence after I left Japan – the two of them had an opportunity to meet. What was serendipitous about that visit is that one of the young English-speaking students that befriended me on that trip is now my sister-in-law! Some years later, my younger brother moved to Japan to take a teaching position. Tremendous artistic culture here, and I’ve had people to explain things to me.” Many special festivities and exhibitions in celebration of springtime – I’ve seen things lots of Japanese rarely see. The Japanese have been falling all over themselves with hospitality and invitations, automatic tour guides, etc. One card that I sent from my first trip to Japan in 1984 to visit friends who were then living there, I wrote, “This country is really foreign and I’m fortunate to be getting an insight rarely experienced by ‘gaijin’ (foreigners). Flying is terrific! Love, Jim & Kathy”Īnd some postcards inspire great memories. We go on to Miami tonight and fly to Jamaica early Monday morning. Our flight from Tri-City Airport was cancelled so we bussed to Detroit and flew to here. Lots of people are down here now.”Īnd from my older brother, en route to his Jamaica honeymoon in 1969, posted a card from Pittsburg, depicting the world’s largest moveable dome, ‘built at a cost of $22 million, and is one of America’s engineering wonders.’ Jim wrote, “Hi folks, Thought we’d send this card because this is the stadium we saw under construction the last time we were here. There sure is a lot to see.”įrom Hollywood, Florida, some other neighbors wrote, “Having real nice weather and really enjoying the sunshine. Lauderdale, “We had a very nice trip and are now enjoying the warm weather. My best friend from high school sent me a postcard from Switzerland in which she wrote: “I’ve been propositioned five times! I appreciate American men much more now.”įrom our neighbors from Ft.
#A travel journal wow zip
Some entries are humorous for their brevity: Depending on your travel journaling style and how much you collect, you may want to tape these extra items to individual pages or keep them tucked into a separate pouch (cheap and fun cloth zip pouches can be found at souvenir markets across the worldmaybe you can buy one along the way). Ever the resourceful one, I went down the hall to the ice machine and scooped melted water into my ice bucket, went back to my room and washed my hair in frigid-cold water in the sink! Brrrrrr! All I can say is your trip to Washington, DC, was a trip well spent You meet so many friends. What I didn’t write about on this card from Bermuda is the pure panic I felt when I realized there was no water to wash my hair – after having taken a red-eye flight and spending my entire first day tending to pre-trip inspections and preparations for the group arriving the following morning. Dear THTB, WOW, there was a lot of activity packed into that blog. At least everything I have control of is going well!” From Bermuda, on my very first solo trip director assignment, in which I wrote, “Group arrives today and so far this morning we’ve had an island-wide power outage … no lights, no water and no elevators! Kind of rainy today, which sure is a treat for me, but I’m not sure my New Yorkers and Bostonians will appreciate it.
