Here we are in Osaka! We had a very long plane ride, crossed the International Dateline, and Bingo - we went into the next day! The plane from JFK to San Francisco was very comfortable, with fabulous views of the Rockys and the desert. The ride across the Pacific took 11 hours from San. Francisco with good food.

Our hotel is wonderful in the busy city of Osaka, which is noted for its pharmaceuticals and textiles located on the Bay. You can look off into the distance and see the mountains where KOBE is. We are staying at the Best Western Joytel Hotel with great shopping areas on the lower floors. We took a walk for dinner to a local hamburger joint and had a great rice hamburger with a great French dressing. Our guide Christian said that it is a cross between a Japanese and Australian burger!!! I must say it was tasty. Tomorrow we are going to Osaka Castle, and on to the ancient city of Kyoto. to visit more shrines and temples. Sayonara - DonnaSan

Thank you so much for posting. It helps us homesick Moms to keep in touch. It must be quite a culture shock not to mention a time warp. But what a memorable experience for everyone. I hope your weather is okay. We are having rain and thunderstorms right now. Enjoy your trip to the Castle.

Just checking in but don't see any more posts on your activities. It may be a problem for you to get Internet access. I know I am feeling less homesick because it seems like everyone is having a great time. I wish we could send you some of our cool weather. It is a beautiful Fall day today. Keep having fun and enjoy Toyko.
