It's sunny and humid today. After lunch, Mom and I sat in front of her laptop for hours planning a trip to Japan. We're going on a tour of beautiful, autumnal Japan. Since Dad has set a tight budget, we need to make the most of every penny. The good news is that the rental apartment has a washing machine, so we can pack light. The flight is very basic and doesn't include oversized suitcases. That's actually good because it means we can save money on flights and spend more on other things. I'll spend more time planning this trip in the next few days. I love Japan!
