Off topic but felt like sharing since I am excited and cannot share this with enough people (ha). We booked a trip to Japan for fall! I lived in a couple different cities there in middle and high school and haven’t been back since (that’s 20 freakin’ years!). I was SO homesick — dare I even say this was the first time I felt heartbroken — when we moved back to the U.S with about a year of high school left. We wanted to visit in fall 2020, but that obviously didn’t happen. Then it was closed to tourism, then only group tours allowed in, then we had to prioritize spending on other things, etc. But it’s finally happening! I booked a traditional inn last night on a small island that felt magical to me as a tween and teen… I hope it still feels that way as an adult. Also hoping to get a couple nice meals in while we’re there since the yen is so in our favor right now.
