We had talked about staying in hostels, but for some reason when the time came around that we felt we needed to have a set place to stay I headed for Expedia. I like using the big resellers like Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz etc. If something goes wrong it gives you at least 1 large company with many levels with which to make your complaint- which helps if the actual hotel party is a small foreign hotel chain.
Luckily, nothing went wrong during our stay at the Hotel Sunroute Plaza…

Jason and I just returned for our second Thanksgiving trip to Japan.
We left Seattle at noon on the 21st, which meant we landed at Narita Intl. sometime around 4pm on the 22nd.

While in Japan I fell in love with the rubber stamps posted in the train stations and at important tourist sites and temples.
It became an obsession, finding the stamps or waiting for the hordes of school children to clear out so I could have a chance of stamping my little blank book.
I’ll only have a week in Tokyo this year, but I’m really looking forward to finding new stamps or ones I just could never find in…

60 miles outside of Seattle and long after Sultan Basin Road runs out of pavement there is chalky blue Spada Lake.
The driftwood is high and leaves the impression that Spada has been drained to its lowest point of the year. There’s a washout somewhere between 4 and 5, so we never went past 4. I can’t imagine there being something more beautiful than the view from an abandoned boat launch when it’s sunny and…
