Thank you, Lennie, for sharing your pictures and insights with me. I can't wait to go!

Wow, what a scrapbook! I've never seen anything like that (I know, I'm so "low-tech"). I don't know how long it took you to put that together, but thanks for sharing it :)

Fabulous!
Ain't technology wunerful!! Thanks for your 21st century tour de force. I just wanted to grab those squid and throw them right on my grill. You bring back many fond memories of my Navy years and of course make me want to return.

Hi Blairs! Thanks so much for sharing your pictures - what a wonderful trip. Can't wait for both of our boys (and Abby) to return from Asia with all of their stories. Love to all,

Nancy

Hi Jer: Your pictures are beautiful and your Mom look great outside the Imperial Palace. (My memory is failing - I think that was the building you took a shot of her).
