Hi @Tasia, loved your writing. I have a confessed travel junkie. I started travelling at 17 and have been very fortunate to see many places in many countries.
Japan is a great place to travel. I have been there twice. Once with my son when he was 18 snd learning the language. The second time I went was early 2020 just before covid lockdown of our border and before my breast cancer diagnosis.
It is easy to get around on the trains and tourist sites are well posted. The food is good too and cheap really. I really liked it there and probably will go there another time in the future as I have a very good friend who lives in Tokyo.
I am hoping to travel to Italy and Scotland this year with my husband. He had a cancer operation in one week. Cancer on his kidney and should recover well. I am a bit nervous about travelling again but we will do it. I think breast cancer can knock my confidence so my planning our Europe trip is part of my rebuild. It was a trip we were originally going to do for retirement but breast cancer and covid stopped it.
I hope you have a great holiday. Update us on the trip and post some photos if you like.
