Plans Travel Plans

I've got a pretty detailed itinerary going for the next couple of weeks. Thought I'd post it up here. I'm heading out from Osaka to Tokyo tonight on the overnight bus (double decker). I'll be using the JR East pass for some super-cheap bullet train traveling, making the onsen rounds of northern Honshu and staying at my friend Beau's house over the weekend. I'm very excited. I've never been to northern Japan. I'll mostly be out in the countryside, so no internet access. I'll get some pictures up when I can, hopefully making all of you jealous ^___^

Also, it has been requested that comments be turned on. As such, the Susans and Benjamins of the world may eat their cake. Comment away!

Hey, hey. First of all, there was more than one of us requesting it, so it's not like I'm coming out of left field. Second, this is us wanting to participate in your travels in some small manner. I think you ought to be flattered.
