A Japanese Honeymoon
October 31, 2026
Our long-planned honeymoon trip to Japan was an absolute smash hit. All of the advanced planning helped make things smoothly. (You can read the almost final itenerary document here if you wish. It was developed using both this blog, lots of travel experience, and help from Claude which was really insightful when it came to logistics.)
This was an experience of a lifetime, filled with shared sights and adventures, quiet time, full days of travel, great food and relaxed cocktails. Our mission was high art in every place. We succeeded.
