Diamond Princess Grand Japan with Fall Foliage Preamble

To start this adventure, we’re flying out to Tokyo three days early; our intention is to do plenty of exploring in and around the city after really enjoying our first visit last year. Japan as a whole was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and Tokyo is so vast that a day was nowhere near long enough, so we made the easy decision to spend a few days there to see more.

Before I wrap up this preamble, I want to give you a heads-up about post frequency. My rule has always been that if blogging starts to compromise the holiday experience, it’s time to adapt, and that’s felt a bit too true on recent cruises. So, going forward, I’ll still be taking plenty of notes and capturing lots of photos as I go, but rather than maintaining a daily upload schedule, I’m trying out a more relaxed approach. I’ll write and share posts as time permits during the trip or, if needed, in the worst-case scenario, put everything together comfortably from my PC once I’m back home. I hope it doesn’t come to that, but it’s only fair to warn you.

I wanted to give you a heads-up so you don’t worry if things go quiet for a few days! Thanks, as always, for following along, and I look forward to sharing this next journey with you, be it live, in retrospect or somewhere in the middle.
