Woot. Sitting in a parked tour bus in Nagano when all our phone alerts for earthquake went off. Jostled a little bit and the outside utility lines were swaying. Now reading that it was a 7.6
Weâre fine and totally safe, although we were going to take the Shinkansen tomorrow to Tokyo. Might have to make alternate plans.
Plot twist!

Hanging in Nagano tonight for New Yearâs Eve. Soba noodles in a duck broth for lunch at the train station (where you get the best food). Grabbed a nice sushi platter to eat in the hotel room and wash down with White Oak single malt Akashi whisky.
Tomorrow, up early to go check out the snow monkeys, and then lunch and sake tasting. Reservations as a nice place nearby for dinner.
Next day, we head back to Hyatt Ginza for 5d to finish off a month in the country. Japan is a wonderful place, but I admit that itâs hard on the brain if you donât speak the language. Fortunately, the Apple âTranslationâ program has really helped.
If youâre looking to travel to someplace clean, safe, friendly, and - right now - a good deal with the Yen/Dollar conversion, then a week or so in Tokyo/Kyoto is a good choice. Almost all my hotel rooms have been paid by credit card points. Happy to give advice if youâre interested.
But tonight: Happy New Year!
See you in 2024.

Are you interested in art? Go to the Art Institute, and then walk up the street to the park with the "bean" sculpture for a great photo op Straight out the front doors of the Art Institute is Adams Street. Walk up Adams to the sign where Route 66 begins (another photo op), and then go to the Berghoff for lunch. The Berghoff holds the first liquor license issued in Chicago when prohibition was repealed.
Further south along the lake front is the museum campus. There's the Field Museum of Natural History, the Adler Planetarium, and the Shedd Aquarium, not to mention the Museum of Science and Industry.
HAVE FUN! It was my first time to Chicago 2 years ago to see the Frozen Four college hockey tournament. Stayed at the AC Hotel 630 N Rush St, Chicago, IL 60611. Was just opened when we went. Modern Euro style accommodations. These were walking distance from the hotel. And 2 blocks from Michigan Ave and all the shopping you could ever want. If you like steak, Ditka's Restaurant. The 8 of us guys really enjoyed the meal. Uno's original Deep Dish Pizza restaurant.
Take in a Cubies game if you like baseball. And even if you don't, just go and check it off a bucket list.

Itâs close to Covent Garden, though. https://www.hotels.com/ho114409/the-strand-palace-hotel-london-united-kingdom/?locale=en_US&pos=HCOM_US And get an Oyster card, especially if you plan to come again, it's valid forever. The fare is about half price. If you want to go to Oxford, this bus is good! https://x90.oxfordbus.co.uk https://www.londontoolkit.com/...If you want any specific information about shopping in London, just ask!
